Pretty color! Wonder what it looks like in the sun!

Took me a minute to figure out what Gyproc was... I've only ever called it Drywall. Most newer garages don't come with that anymore...

Sweet loking ride!! Nice color on the paint.

Hey Ken, Am I missing something, the only monster by the door I see is yellow.

Bug, The only reason they don't gyp/drywall the garage is because it is one more way they cut their cost to increase profit. Its amazing what they get away without doing anymore.

Looks Orange to me! Matches the color of the XS's turn signal pretty well.

You spend 375 on a house and they dont finish the garage. Oh well, I'll get to it some day. The ZX9 is custom Lambo Orange. I covered the seat in carbon fibre. The carbon looks good on sport bikes.
I gotta find the side covers for the xs, thats my main concern right now.

I might have to bid on the wooden jobber on ebay.

Thanks on the color. I used Dupont GM garnet red. Its closer in color to the original that the black I was gonna use.

Hi XS11head.Nice job on the bike,looks great.Good luck with your second gear issue.I had a similar noise that you are experiencing.Very noisy at idle,almost like a rod bearing or wristpin noise.The cam chain adjustment didnt help.I was embarrassed to ride the bike it was so noisy.Anyways,after researching a few post about noises thought I would try syncing the carbs.I was amazed how quiet and well the bike runs now.Also starts easier.Hope this helps,Brad

Thanks for the info. I did take the bike for a ride and second gear is thrashed out, but I will do a synch when this is repaired.
