    I wasnt going to decal the cowlings today, I painted the assembly and of course there was dust and lint in spite of the care I took…thankfully I primed it with white first so it was an easier fix, also would show me where the green laid down .

    There were pretty large decals and they laws scare me, so I cut them in places thy couldn’t be seen and pieced them together as I applied them worked like a charm

    I forgot the green decal

    on the nose under the 56 and by the time I realized i had missed, it was too late to fix :(. Anyway here is. Never had any intention to put it on the bike and hide all the fun goodies 🙂 so I put it together and decaled it. Took all day and it’s not perfect but way better than I thought it would be

    @bikequeen - Fantastic work Cricket. Kawasaki green is very intense. That cowling is going to look very cool sitting next to the bike with all of the incredible detail.

    @chinesegeorge Thanks George…I dont like green as such but do like the bright green. in the 70’s Dodge use to call it “Sublime” which I thought was pretty neat 🙂

    @gblair Tahnk you George the decals came out much better than I though they would, took awhile but it worked. I used Micro Sol and the hair dryer…worked well to a degree
