Title: My snot green racing machine
Post by: Dingobmxer on July 07, 2009, 08:11 PM: A few of you have seen my old Ripper xl I race on from time to time (some from the front,some from behind but most people recognise the underside as it slid along the track lol) and it was in a very sorry state, drop outs butchered by the previous owner and VERY battle scarred:-

after a trip to here www.giaengineering.co.uk

now I dont know if I am missing my GPZ1100 or secretly wanted a green Street-Beat but I decided on bright Kawasaki green

and built up it looks a little like this (but needs decals to finish)

Post by: SteveG on July 10, 2009, 08:32 PM: Thats pretty much the colour a guy I knew painted his Race Inc back in the early 80's, had mostly black bits on it and was very different at the time. Nice.
