so thought i would share what i've been doing with my bike...

bought her bone stock... while back i had a small mishap and laid her over.. luckily had all my gear on and was as ready as one can be for a wreck..

put her down in a pile of sand and cracked the right side fairings..
so at that point i decided to just go thought and completely work her over.

here she is day 1, all stock.

Hahaha! Funny, it's my boy's RR in New Orleans, LA! I ride it every time I go home to visit. It gets tons of looks. You can't see in this pic, but it's got blue metalic flakes, matching the windscreen, in the white paint that really shines in the sun. It actually started as the same color scheme as yours!

I've had an all black bike and it's cool in it's own right but there's just something that catches your eye about a white bike.

Grim recently painted his zx6 white and it came out pretty spiffy.

Yea im doing my own paint work... In my baby garage :-)... So after thinking on it a bit I'm gonna stick with black... I've already purchased paint so no need to waist money... Im on a super tight budget anyway... And you can always repaint!

so i took a break from sanding and decided to work on something else for a bit.... so i was going to do this the right way but i just dont have the time or resources.. i talk to a few guys over at 1000rr.net who have done it this way and it has lasted for them so i decided to give it a shot...
just used some 120 grit and about a half bottle of mean green to get it prepped and cleaned up...

so been way too long since i updated... been so busy with everything.. although with all this amazing weather it has given me all kinds of motivation...

got tired of seeing her all torn down so after it was all prepped put some clothes back on her just for a little extra motivation

all ready for some color

Looks good in the pictures but I bet it looks even better in person. You should get a photo shoot done to do some justice.

yea tell me about it.. really wanting to get some good shots of it... still waiting on some hardware to finish putting it together.... when it was laid over some of the clips and screws were missing/broke... so i have that to do and some minor adjusting of some of the panels that arent sitting flush.. just a tiny bit off.

Dude nice job looks real good.

I was contemplating when i painted my bike white whether to go with gloss white or flat. Part of me wishes i went with gloss because its easier to keep clean but oh well.

Now, what do you plan to do with those rearsets? PM incoming.
