2001 MatteKat Transformation Pics

[MatteKat]

Here are the pictures of the transformation, and my first paint job.
This is the first bike i start to work on, and I love it.

Let me know what you guys think.

not sure what came first , but the blue looks good

how is the paint holding up on the rearset heel-guard plate?

I am thinking of painting those as well, but I'm worried it will be scuffed immediately, and never look good.

I don't want to spend the cash to powder coat them though. Thinking maybe spray-on bed liner would work for a foot-control surface.

Also, did you trim the front fender?

Looks great.
How the exhaust works for you ? Does it have any baffle ? I guess you lost a little back pressure huh ?

The Blue was before the street fighter process happened. I didn't like the orange and now I removed the stupid stickers that this guy put on it and painted it all matte black. So its in chronological order from top to bottom. Sorry but the bike was dropped when it was blue so the fairings were all scuffed. I fixed the frame and went on a street fighter project. I like it a lot better as a black SF.

That's a good looking bike in black... Is that headlight cowl sold or made?
