Man, how did you read my mind? Um, i gotta say 400 miles in almost a month is embarrassing!!! It is hard though with the baby, work and constant running around.

I am soo happy I got all that done on the bike in a month. It is really exciting to look down and see those decals when riding. I did ride it to work today!!!

Looks very very very nice. This is a head turner for sure. What is the paint color? Maybe the next person will use a different yellow like National School Bus Chrome ??? The 2003 V-Strom DL1000 made me want a yellow motorcycle. Pictures of your Super Yellow Tenere will have to do for the next five years or so. If you get a chance post photos that are full sunlight.

Thanks Tomato!!! Um, Honestly, I really don't know. I took an old panel and sortof picked a spec on a little sample swatch and said to darken it up some. Add extra pearl to it, then use satin clear coat instead of gloss.
I thought my original plan was to use the Honda/Acura Indy Yellow Pearl from mid to late 90's. Something got mixed up in this whole process this time.

WOW! I thought that it would look pretty good, but I was wrong, it looks great! It will turn heads, for sure.

I was thinking Pearl and surely the Satin will showup in the bright sunlight. I really like the look. Z06 Corvette Velocity Yellow is a favorite. If not Corvette code 984 (many names) Yellow is another favorite. Add a little metallic and increase the horsepower by 10 :D
