Default Painted my bike! Pics inside.

It is an 06 GXR 750. I was torn whether to paint it or not and I did.

Tell me what you guys think. Good or bad..

I am pretty happy with it. I do need to go back tomorrow and have it wet sanded and polished. I also installed the Vortex rear sets. This nice guy from PT.net is anodizing the passenger foot peg assembly. :-)

Here are the pics: (the paint looks better in person)
