My GZ250 Lowered, painted, leathered and bedazzled

[sharon_koontz]

This is the new Miss Purdy, so named thanks to bonehead. Lowering her was quite a challenge. She now stands at 24 inches from the lowest part of the seat. We had a very limited budget so we painted her ourselves using a base coat of Ballet Slipper pink then misted with Metallic Purple and Silver. We applied about 4 coats of gloss topcoat and it tunred out bettter than I expected. I was given a large supply of leather scraps from a local factory that makes Corvette parts. I do love leather and fringe so I made nearly everything myself. I even made a matching leather backpack/purse (with fringe of course). This bike was a real challenge for me to ride and I wanted it to be unique. I believe it is. Thanks again to all who gave advice. It was truly appreciated!
