well here is where I was at a few week ago on my IS paint job project.
all comments welcome good or bad because I like it so it dont matter

Here is where I am today all I like is putting bags back on but have to wait on shock bushings $:-\$
it is bright so put on yer sun glasses

I will get some better shots once the wheels are back on the ground and I can get her outside

Michvalk · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 16:53:19

I like the color! Can't wait to see the bike when it's done!

Skinhead · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 16:56:33

I like it! It's definitely different.

GeoffreyB · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 16:59:28

That's definitely a color that should make you visible to the cagers.

I'm sensing a theme of "holy sunglasses batman, those are brightly colored motorcycles"

among your stable.

Green is not my style, but nice job on the color combination. Of course if that yellow and black ever needs some attention, well, that IS right up my alley!

Bighead · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 17:01:23

I like a BRIGHT Ride

I wont ever loose my bike in a crowd

jmann · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 17:16:59

I like it. Nice color combo.

You have JUST added to the degree of difficulty of "losing" a Valkyrie in a crowd. If I'm on a large ride and we are parked somewhere I can follow the crowd back to my Phatt Ghurl!

All that aside-lookin good on the new paint scheme and color choice.

RIDE SAFE.

Green is not my color but that is beyond awesome,I really like it.Great job.Those colors just seem to jump out at you.

Nice color.

BF · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 18:42:21

I dig it.

Quite the collection of Skittles you've got started there. You need to buy a few more Valks.

PAVALKER · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 19:31:15

The color is Synergy Green. It is a GM color and a local auto shop did it for me I know the owner and he also rides so knows how particular we can be

The emperor has no clothes · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 21:31:50

I love it

R J · Mon 20, Oct 2014, 21:48:46

I really liked GREEN, and that color just seems to grab ya by the kahunas. MGM is Green & Creme.

I like it........... Also like the pattern.

quexpress · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 09:05:47

Gryphon Rider · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 10:47:29

I like the color and scheme

bill-jr · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 16:38:22

Yep looks Better then I had imagined ...
Loving the green color ....
Since the yellow one looked better in person I'm sure the green one will too

Bighead · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 16:55:57

Bill I told you it was bright.

jimmytee · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 17:08:12

It wouldn't be my choice of colors, but looks cool. Like the stripes

Bighead · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 18:34:51

Well JT I am not big on red or black which this was both before the paint

90 % are one or the other I gotta get outside the box so to speak

Bighead, couldn't agree more! As I was looking to buy a Valk. I looked at many but the best one, ie price, condition and so on. It was/is black. I really did not want black. I bought it, love it and ride it. I live here in NE Ohio, so my days are numbered. Hoping to be able to swing ($) a paint job over the winter. Already found a set of Interstate Bags for it. Still trying to come up with a color. Leaning towards BRIGHT Orange.

Anyway your bike looks great! Love the color! I'll be looking for finished pics! Bumblebee is a looker too!.

Who was it that painted a Valkyrie bright orange with racing stripes, a la a Chevy SS?

T-Bird · Tue 21, Oct 2014, 21:43:34

Thanks for the preview Barry...it looks great.
I hope to see it up close soon.

salty1 · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 06:27:27

You got an awesome color scheme there, looking forward to the whole bike pics.

Black Dog · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 08:40:46

Can't wait to see that in the bright sun light

Sweet!!

Black Dog

T-Bird · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 09:02:51

Barry, Have you thought about painting the inner fairing to match? I have seen a few done and it looks great. My speaker pods are sanded and painted gloss black to match paint.

HayHauler · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 10:30:44

I really like it! But, I like loud colours. The stripes came out real nice. Good job Barry. Can't wait to see it in person.

Hay

It wasn't a Valk but a chopper sorta thingy I've seen with paint like that. I gotta say, I really liked the bright orange with the white racin' stripe.

Daniel Meyer · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 10:49:42

It was Doug that painted his Valk that way. If I remember correctly he was out of the Carolinas. That was a while back and I don't remember his handle.

I've always liked this bike. Makes one wonder what happens to these bikes when the owners move on to other things. ??? What ever happened to Gear Jammers Bike (Super Bee)?

Waaaay cool. I'm diggin' the OJ.

YoungPUP · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 20:14:47

I like the colors. Maybe the lighting, but the pics (especially the fairing) make me think "Nothing runs like a Deere."

Bighead · Wed 22, Oct 2014, 21:54:57

Yep lighting it is not even close to Deere green. Have you seen the green on a new Comaro?
Same green.
But it is true nothing runs like a Deere
