Wanted: Design idea's for track bike

Fri Oct 16, 2009 8:38 am

Alright. So I have basically a clean slate to start with. I have a 1996 ZX6R track bike which has green wheels and tank with white fairings.

So hit me up with your idea's/photoshops/pictures anything you've got for potential designs. I wouldn't mind using some famous Kawasaki designs from various era's, but I have to admit I am not really familiar with past Kawasaki designs. I'm not looking to do a full replica of a certain bike but rather a chop and hack of various bikes over the years.

So thoughts, suggestions, comments??

Are you thinking of painting the bike or doing it in cut vinyl?

Mostly cut Vinyl. I've got a mate who is a graphic designer/air brusher who can help me out when I get some ideas on paper.

But for the older style bike, I've always had a soft spot for the stylized checkered flag stickers on the bellypan of the '02 636:

go with the team ghetto racing and paint it in Mt druitt metalic. gray primer base coat with the black tracer coat over the top. sweeet :kuda:

you could always go with the large metalic flake aka 80's ski boat paint 8)

Thinking of doing something like my R1. Which is a mash up of various Yamaha's/Rossi pictures. But obviously with Kawasaki related graphics.

A little bit of this...

Alright thread revival time. Since I've now got some time to work on the bike, I've decided that I'll be going with a Black/Green scheme. Will keep the green tank and wheels, everything else will be black. With some green decals for 'Team Ghetto Racing' and 'Fat Monkey Racing'.

Will eventually post pics when its done. 8)
