New Color on my Zong
I know I somewhat disapeared but I have been lurking without posting for months. Phil's death hit me kinda hard. I am pretty sure I was the last of us with face to face contact. Anyway, the reason I decided to post now is I painted my Zong. I have had this idea since Spud's poll to decide what color to go with. I used Krylon Fusion Camo paint. It was the only Krylon color that was close to what I wanted. Without further addo
My Khaki Zong. I know I am going to have to add some stickers to break up the color. I know a guy here that has a vinyl business. I was thinking about having him make some China Riders.com stickers for my front fender. Is that allowed? If I do I will post to see if anyone else wants some. One other new item is my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. I bought it because I was tired of my spedo being off and my wife and I use it for Geocaching. Here is a shot of it with my Ram mount on the hadlebar.

That colour looks really good! Your baja Bug looks cool too. 8)
I'd wait for Frostbite to respond about the decals.

You did a nice paint job, Bama! Your bike definitely has a military camouflage flair.
We all miss Phil Hall. :( However, I am greatly consoled to know he went home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. Spud

Go ahead, if they look good perhaps we can get the decal guy to make more.

This may sound strange, but have you considered some Chinese Army insignia? Maybe even paint it on with a template for maximum authenticity? :idea:

While that skid plate looks really good, I bet it'll get beat up quickly. Have you considered flat black for that part?

That's more like it, Brother Bill! WaG, the stock "skid plate" is black polypropylene, with the color molded into it. Therefore, the mud, rocks, and sand will probably "restore" the "skid plate" to its original color in short order. Spud

Looks really "Spec Ops" which I can appreciate.
