Why do you think youll only get another 10K out of it? With how mean I am to my scooters I get fairly good mileage before they really start turning for the worse.

Admittably, my 636 could probably get itself a go thru.....but its got 30 something K on it and a lot of that has been getting beaten for several minutes a day via wheelie or banging gears on the good roads. She runs like a champ though...........even if Ive eaten 700 dollars in tires up last year (3 full sets)

Im not telling you to throw money at it, Im telling you how to spice it up cheaply.

If you get what they call "gerber mask" you can have decals cut out of it and lay them down. Its a low tack mask that will peel up without leaving glue behind it (I use it a lot in my paintwork)

Spray your base color, say your full silver on all the panels, then lay your gerber mask down for design work and shoot your black. Peel the gerber mask and viola! you have a two tone patterned paint base. Shoot clear and let dry, buff.

Done, easy and cheap. I get gerber mask cut for me at 8 bucks a linear foot for how ever wide the guys cutter is (I think its 2 feet)

You could get all crazy retro, do some nuclear tiger striping on that kat like the old GSXRs of early nineties? Maybe run some "sponsor sticker" patterns for race bike look? Just food for thought, if you are decided you are decided.........just helping a brother out.

Oh and BTW, Im not sure if your kat is a 6 or a 750 but the 750 motor takes a nice 907 kit in it all day, cheaply and will make a mockery out of a lot of bikes while keeping the guise of being a tourer.
