White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[GoldOxide_imp]

That 2nd pic, greenish/bluish colour does not appeal to me.
Yes to the last pic, black, on a lighter/contrast colour panels.
Your project + your decision = you'll love it.

The photos are off the internet PB, so both are just chrome & black reflecting their surroundings.

I've honestly not decided yet.
My thoughts are that the 1150 appeals more as it sounds similar to 750 when said, but I prefer the oem look & quality of the 1100 badge. White House took the easy/cheap route by using a chrome/black decal with the "four" off a 750 badge which is surprising given the cost of the kit.
I guess what I'm saying is that I want an 1150 badge that looks like the 1100 version, but can't find one (yet). Worst case, I suppose I could have some made.

OK, I got it.
I would say, you should first get the major things painted and assembled.
Then you can play with any smaller accents like badges to see how these play to your liking. Knowing the internet and colour printing power, you can even print them out and place a badge on your side panel prior buying. Have a thin cardboard behind it to imitate 3D. Take a look at it from a distance. Sure is not the same as a real badge but at least you can see how your eye and brain react to it.

I believe that in many cases, the first snapped picture that remains in your brain is what you may look for, desire or like...just a thought.
Also, you have to filter too many advisors...like me

Drumroll... its finally time for paint.

PB, you were right, of course. To a point.

The first CB1100 K10 I stumbled across on Pinterest was the Candy Blue Green Samurider bike I featured on page 1 of this thread (and below). In a nutshell, I fell in love at first sight with that bike and within minutes was working on a plan to build my own.

Roll forward and I've bought a white K10, I had it in pieces, and whilst the painted parts were away I turned my attention to the mechanics and began to wonder about the history of the bike. Frame number indicates that it's a Japanese bike and interestingly I found the paint code sticker still on the frame. The original colour code is PB-308P which turns out to be a seemingly rare Pearl Spencer Blue.

Blue it is then. But the question is, which one?

I've always had a thing for this blue.

I think [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB too, but he went to white.
