Will try again...I was having problems getting it to look right with the method I was using...(described above)

But we'll see :D

Btw, my jacket does have reflective strips on it. There's some leather on the back that is white, but isn't reflective; and I saw this "uber neon mega super cool" spray paint at kragen's...anyone use it (if you even know what i'm talking about) with any success?

They did that. They called it 'The 70's'. It wasn't such a big hit.... :laughing:

The yellow give it this Honda Hornet look. It it was a bit brighter. I think the blew with blacked out components would be my choice. Although Orange with black would be cool too, but it would end up feeling sort of Z1000 then.

I think the brown looks like MR Hanky would own it ( you know the Christmas turd from south park ) the green will get confusing especially if you put KAWASAKI stickers on it just to confuse people ( great IDEA )
the reds good and the blues better.
JMHO :)

I dig that yellow.

Runner up? I'd take the blue.
