Here's what she looked like before:



New shots:













I did this in the same manner that I did the cowl before. Just spray paint and wet sanding. I think it came out rather well IMO. Only problem I had was that I was impatient with the front fender and it didn't dry completely before I started to install it. So the paint was soft and tore off/peeled, as acrylic does when it's not dry, during install. The paint I used is Dupli-Color Truck/SUV Paint "Victory Red".

I also have the Pyramid Plastics Mid-Panels but to put those on I'd have to take off the front fairing again, no thanks. They're for sale anyway.

The tires are 120 60 17 / 150 60 17, it's an RK XW-Ring chain in Gold. The Cowl is by ZeroAffiliation. It has some scratches now since I dropped it while cleaning the garage.

 

it looks terrible, you should be ashamed for publicly posting it....just kidding good job looks good.

 

Haha, thanks man. I was about to It took some time, I had originally started painting it light blue (metallic) for the GF but she told me it didn't matter what color it was. I figured that the tank was shiny red and I have a matching red, just make the damn thing red.

 

STICKERZANDSHIT

I mean, thats what everyone else does, right?

 

Should I? I took the stickers off it in the first place and I didn't like the two tone red/gunmetal paint job. Maybe I'll get some black/chrome Ninja stickers to put on it. Dunno'.

 

I think if you wanted a red bike you should have bought mine and I could upgrade


Looks good man. I should be having things settle down soon enough so if you want to work on that VFR I *should* be available next weekend.

 

That's cool, let me know I think you still have my number. It wasn't that we WANTED a red bike haha, it's just that it was easier to make it shiny if it stayed red

 

yeah, I responded to your text late on Sunday, I still have your number.

 

Awesome. I also changed the signals on the VFR and took off the pinstripes, looks good to me:

 

Bikes look good Elric, send me a pm if you ever want that ninja btw...shes just sittin in a garage till i get back from vacation lol.
