Im rebuilding my 92 lt.250r from top to bottom.
i want it to look reallllly nice.
what colors should i do for:
Frame...?
Aarms...?
Plastics...?

Im thinking of ....
FRAME- yellow
AARMS- blue
PLASTICS- yellow (with blue engine and seat)

I really like orange plastics so...
FRAME- blue
AARMS- orange
PLASTICS- orange w/ blue graphics(blueseat/engine/shockwears)

i dont no.
i know its my quad and most of you are gonna say..
"do what you want"
but what do you think would look the best?

Posted by: DEAL

Orange plastics , Blue seat , blue hood , blue frame ,motor , and a-arms.

this is just a stupid thought that came in my weird *** mind. What if you did the opposite of regular lt's. Like i think Blue plastic, yellow frame, a arms, seat and hood. Just to be different. I'm not sure if thats exactly opposite, i'm not up on suzuki.

sort of like this???

but with a yellow frame

Posted by: kabd69667

yea..Maybe a yellow powercoated frame from Chris Waters i think it is. Then maybe get the side cases of the motor chromed. That would look sweet in my opinion

how about a ruby red frame.......with black plastic,,,a checkerd flag seat cover........douglas ultimate billet rims, razr tires, chrome lugnuts..(from james lucky for 16.00 for 16 of them)....,,,and lots of chrome or polished aluminum........

Sounds Like someone is just trying to get some money here.:blah I think what kabd said woould be sweet. I think the best looking is the ones that came strait out of the box with all the original colors.

can they powercoat a chrome looking grey/silver?

Posted by: kabd69667

I've seen this blue chrome....its sweet looking. But its also expensive. My buddy got his frame done in blue chrome and it wasn't cheap.

Yet another question from me for Chris...

How about a mirror red? or Mirror blue, can those be done, or just mirror black?

Posted by: CBW

well the "mirror black",,,,,is just a shade of black that is 95%gloss....where "gloss black" is 80% gloss. Red, blue, yellow, purple , ruby red, etc......are all full gloss......
so the "mirror" just distinguishes it from the regular gloss black...
