Man do they have a lot of colors! A clear coat on the bare carbon might look cool too.

If you click around over there they have hundreds of pics of things painted with their paint. you get a good idea of how stuff might actually look.

That is the most amazing part. You can actually see what colors look like.
This is what I was thinking of. Maybe a bit more metallic but its very close.

yes..
You can.. pick the 2 color option please.. clear coat needs a second "bake" from what i understand.. so its treated like a full new color.

Yes, and you could use the red orange Carbon fiber vinyl wrap product for the decals in a consistent look.
I need to do some decal mockups
I’m thinking of something like this but just the head tube and part of the top bar back to the upper shock mount in metallic orange then fading to the clear coat bare carbon. The rest of the bike would be the clear coat bare carbon except for the Watt Wagons name in metallic orange. Not sure how much this would cost though.

Unfortunately the cerakote site running way slow tonight. Some pics won't even load before being timed out. Perhaps they power down at night. IDK
Your original thought with the orange/carbon fiber clear finish was cool.
Yes it was but I think that would be a custom job and that’s not cheap. Even just doing the clear coat on the carbon is a two stage process if I understand correctly which is still like a $500.00 option. A single color appears to be my best option or just go with the flat black.

I have a couple of questions regarding the Firmware option in the Hydra ordering page (Harness and 2 years for $200)
- Am I right to assume that this is the only way to get any kind of FW update on the bike?
- Does this opens the door for custom tuning by the user, and if so have you already figured out which changes would affect warranty and which would not?

1. Yes
2. Users can custom tune for sure. Except for unlimited throttle for the kindernay, everything else is covered. We specifically point that out while selecting options . (The controller auto logs the settings so in case something breaks we can look at the logs to see what the tuning was - specifically for the throttle).

Can you clarify.
If I configure an Hydra with the Archon 2300W and Unrestricted throttle, I can also select Kindernay and don't see any warning.
Did you mean that the above configuration cancels the Kindernay warranty?
