Kawasaki ZRX

This customer from VA requested that we lift the colors and style of the 1974 Kawasaki H2 paint job and use it on his ZRX.	For a customer in Washington state, this bike included a few James Compton carbon fiber parts. We cleaned and cleared over the carbon parts with the same urethane clear that went over the basecoat colors, makes the carbon fiber look like a million dollars! Look closely you'll see a little blue pearl in the black stripe.	Custom paint job in a British racing green with a pearl white and metallic gold stripe, this one is headed to a U.S. Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan! Thanks for your service, Oorah!
This one was painted in the old "Eddie Lawson" lime green from the early 80's bikes. Kawasaki also used this color on late 90's ZX9R's. We paired it with a custom blue and pearl white stripe. All paint here, no decals or stickers.	Refinished in the OEM "pearl jade green metallic" along with the correct "vivid purple mica" and "pearl alpine white", except there are no decals here: it's all paint. 6 total coats of clear, 4 of those over the graphics colors, color sanded and buffed. For a customer in Texas.	This one is full custom, frame and all. This customer sent his parts here all the way from Canada.
Pow! Look at those custom candy colors and custom graphics! This one's headed to NY	Pearl white with black and pewter stripes, that's one cool custom ZRX!	Painted in the old 80's lime green color, this bike is one of three we're doing for a customer in MN. This one uses a lot of carbon fiber parts from James Compton in TX, check him out if you're a ZRX fan!
We've done a few of these custom ZRX1200's in white, and they are always a huge hit! This one is a spec job we completed recently, and is FOR SALE! Contact us for more information	This customer sent in his ZRX1100 parts that had been previously (and poorly!) painted. The stripes were the wrong color and were lopsided. The clear had runs and dirt in it. It was a mess. His fairing had been destroyed. We provided a replacement fairing, stripped all the old paint off, plastic welded the tail section seams up, and refinished it all in OEM colors provided by ColorRite.	This ZRX1100 was painted with a green-blue chameleon paint, and we put our own custom spin on the OEM styled graphics. A real looker, this one!
These parts were sent to us by a customer in NY. He stripped the tank and asked us to do our paint work over the bare steel, then clear coat the entire thing to protect it. We also applied our custom painted graphics to the carbon fiber tail, and then clear coated all of the carbon parts as well.	This custom paint job was done to mimic the colors on the red 2002 Kawasaki ZRX1200R for a customer in Nebraska. Don't paint many red ZRX's, but I don't know why not, because this looks spectacular!	A pure white base with black and green stripes. This job uses no stickers, everything you see here is paint, under urethane clear.
All paint, no decals or stickers on this beautiful ZRX1200 bodywork. We've done so many variations of color stripes on these green ZRX's, but this one looks particularly sharp!	This was a GPZ inspired paint job that was designed by the customer. We mimicked the GPZ colors as closely as possible, and changed the layout of the stripes on the tank to resemble the GPZ's	Not your everyday ZRX paint job, but why not? It's beautiful looking!
Nice departure from the traditional ZRX "double stripe" paint scheme. Everything here is paint, no decals or stickers!	Another James Compton built ZRX, with a custom paint job by BD's Cycles. Simply stunning, so much fun to look at! Carbon componentry, expensive paint! Shouldn't be hard to spot this one if you see it in it's home state of Texas!	This ZRX was built by James Compton for one of his customers, paint work by BD's Cycles. The carbon fiber tail utilized a combination of gloss/satin clears
A nice, classy take on a ZRX custom paint job. CLean, simple and crisp! If you're in south Florida along the I-95 corridor, keep your eyes peeled for this one!	A break from the norm by doing this ZRX in pure white base with metallic green and purple stripes. It was a huge hit at the 2019 Barber Vintage fest, and it now resides in Wisconsin	A throwback paint job, using a custom British racing green and gold pinstripes
Nothing wrong with a white ZRX with red and black stripes! Classy and clean looking!	A big bore, USD forks, turbo ZRX1200r, finished off with a beautifully executed custom paint scheme by BD's Cycles! The NC mountains are home to this beautiful creation	A nice example of a clean custom paint job that looks appropriate on a ZRX. For a customer in Charlotte, NC
The "ELR" lime green and black pinstripes are a great compliment to the green background on this paint job!	A black ZRX with light blue and medium blue stripes, all under a satin clear coat? Yes, please! This set is riding around the Texas hill country somewhere...	A paint scheme more like what you'd find on a European ZRX, but here in the states! This gorgeous color combo was a nice departure from the norm, really like the layout on that tail section!
Double black OEM replica stripes over BD's Cycles custom green, gives that factory look with a custom touch! All paint, no decals or stickers!	This ZRX was set up for knocking down miles! The addition of a trunk and Corbin "Beetle Bags", all painted in HOK "orion silver" with a custom white and black stripe, separated by a red pin stripe, looks fantastic!	How pretty is this? A thin lime green (think ELR) pinstripe separates the two painted stripe colors. This gorgeous set of parts makes heads turn everywhere it goes!
Although it looks yellow, these were actually a lime green like what you'd see on an old ELR Kawasaki.	"Top notch. I'm no stranger to high-end restorations from custom automotive up through Concours D'elegance. I came to BD's as an unknown person and experienced nothing but the best communication, timeline explained and met, plus top workmanship. Bryan takes his craft as if he is refinishing his own project. No question BD's is the go-to guy on my next project!" Joe J. from CA	Not your everyday paint job for a ZRX, but quite a creation! This one lives in Maine, so it hibernates 6 months out of the year
This owner asked me to carry the custom stripe paint color through the side covers on his ZRX build. If you're in the Charleston (SC) area, keep your head on a swivel and maybe you'll see this bike zooming past!
