  • Bike rebuild...lots of pics

    Finally, after my initial buy on feb 6, 2009, wrecked on feb 12. messed up the fairings, turn signals, mirrors among other stuff. fixed what i had to, mirrors, and turn signals. got carbon fiber replacements. then just before my shoulder surgery replaced the levers with carbon fiber as well. wife recovered my seat with extra padding. now, replaced the bar ends carbon fiber and spikes, sanded and painted my wheels, getting new tires, metz z6, brakes from MOpower sports... thanks jimmy. ordered tire valves from Cyber, marc thanks for all the info. doing the 03+ tail conversion and last but not least my main fairings for the front and new tires will be here tomorrow.

    now for the pics... hope you enjoy!

    let me know what you think about the paint. it is a blue pearl but when it dries seems to dry very light, much lighter than the cap on the can.

              NICE ! It's coming along very nicely indeed You'll have to be careful the first few rides out as that blue will add some hp - cause we all know blue is the fastest.

                yep, i'm sure it adds at least a good 10 or maybe 15 hp.

                      It is Finished!!

                      hey everyone, here are the finished pics of my bike. let me know what you think! Thanks to HS2020 for the brakes, Marc for the tire valves. Marc, that angle is the bomb!!

                      i know the tank doesn't match but i am still trying to decide if iwant to keep the dark blue or if i am going to spend the big bucks on the factory candy blue or not!
