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.
cracks from the wreck
after my first day of pulling parts
more
what im doing with a few of the body panels.
pulling the old decals off.

after the first pass with the plastic repair stuff.

im working crazy hours so its taking a while but i should have more progress soon...

Oh do white! A solid white CBR with black carbon fiber trim would look awesome!

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!but this looks just awesome!!!!!!!

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.

White CBRs are pure awesome.
I LOVED my 07 CBR 1k in black. It looked great!
You doing your own paintwork?
I dig the black color scheme, myself!

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!
That's awesome... Lol just pulled that pic offline.
Truth. Faster too.

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...
Are you using an actual sprayer or rattle can?
for that, just high heat rattle cans. the rest ill be using a real gun.
You must shop at King Soopers
Nice....looking forward to seeing the finished product!!!
my wife has this thing where she doenst throw away plastic bags... so any chance i get i try and use as many as i can...
its a sore spot in our marriage..
+1 for white. You see black bikes everywhere.
I also like yellow and black but it aint a yamaha.

+1 for White bikes!
