Guest PAULSMART Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm thinking about a nice big black 'le mans / GT40' stripe down the centre of my greenie , but can't believe this would be an original idea - anyone done it????? Apologies for poor bitmap pic, also picture whipped off a bike for sale on ebay, not mine Paul
Guzzirider Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I think a version of the Centauro had a similar paint scheme.
Baldini Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Paul, seen it done a few times, got a big stripe exactly like that down tank/seat on Tonti...Gunmetal on black....was gonna do it white but went for the tasteful option! I'll get a photo. Wide stripe looks great - go for it - not sure about black tho..... KB
Murray Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 How about two narrower red one's to pick up on the frame colour. One large red one would probally be a bit overbearing.
dmoon64 Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 i Like it. Kind of like the center stripe on the KR RZ350's (yellow/black) they looked good. Speaking of paint. Any idea on what that Coppa Italia paintjob on the LeMans cost?
al_roethlisberger Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Didn't last year's "Scura R" have some sort of longitudinal stripe like this? I think it looks great if done well.
Mike Stewart Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Paul, I recommend using a vinyl adhesive backed stripe to try out on your pretty bike before taking the plunge and having the stripe painted on. Much easier to remove a vinyl stripe than a painted one if you don't like the results. I wanted SS stripes on my truck and could not figure out what width, length etc. so I bought a few sets of vinyl stripes and played with them till I got the results I wanted. This was two years ago and I still have not got around to having them painted on. Now how do I get the GT40 exhaust system on the Guzzi? Good luck, Mike I'm thinking about a nice big black 'le mans / GT40' stripe down the centre of my greenie , but can't believe this would be an original idea - anyone done it?????

zebulon Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Here was the first release of my SuperTwin proto And now
jrt Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Wow, that blue looks really nice on Zeb's bike and on biesel's picture. Almost as good as black.

soloNH Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 J M, that looks awesome!!!!! So many things to drool over. Exhaust, rear sets, rear fender, front fender etc,. etc. etc. You have a real work of art there. Bike of the year contender for sure!
