Have bike tore down for a repaint

[spingley]

I have been thinking about painting mine black but it seems like a lot of work to take all of the parts that would need painted off, did it seem like a lot of work to you? I am pretty good with wrenches.

Oh its alot of work!! be prepaired I see why a friend of mine that did one told me he wouldnt touch one for under 5K. Good luck if you do its not super bad put if you dont do stuff like that alot you might get lost.. Its like working on a dam german car.

How do I down size the pictures to post them? I can post some of the pictures but not all of them and they were all taken with the same camera. Thanks everyone

What size are they? The system will try to resize them for you but if they are too large, it often doesn't work. They need to be no larger than 640 x 480 and no more than 200,000 bytes.

If you're using Windows XP here's a utility that can be downloaded.

 

PIC RESIZER

 

 

It's great and easy to use...

I just ran into this issue after replacing my pc desktop which came with Windows7. After trying a couple programs I installed this one -- http://www.irfanview.com/

Best of all it's free and will work with any Windows program as far as I know.

Also I just posted up this topic and the guys had plenty of info on pic resizer programs -- http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46324

Hey thanks Bob! How did you do that? I have tried several time to down size them but I am a computer idiot and only know enough to get myself in trouble with these things.

[Bummer]

Very nice! I'm looking forward to checking it out in person.

[FreezyRider]

Now THAT will draw some eyeballs! Good Job!

[Squidley]

What would it cost to repaint the venture? If you tore it down your self.

niceeee!! very nice!!!!

Thanks everyone shes getting there, the colors are a pearl white tri coat and a goldish orange trimed out with a charcoal and red and black stripe. I still have things to put back on her but I have been riding it and it still needs some buffing but it looks alot better than the boring mouse gray. I got about 500 dollars in materials but its a job tearing these apart and remembering how they go back. I have a friend that says he wont do another one for less than 5K now I know why.
