I'm going to sand down and fix all marks and re-paint my bike this winter so I decided to make a thread on it. I am also going to do a few things to it. I will probably take a few pics with my phone along the way just because...
The way she was:
The way it's sitting now:
Marks in it from someone not straping it in trailer properly, some people are............ Well you get it.
I have sanded down most pieces now and fix most of the cracks/gauges with plastic repair and filler. Have a bit more to finish up then just about ready to start painting.
Rear fairing strap marks half fixed.
This was a fairly bad crack, not visable part of the bike but still going to fix it. fixed up a bit in this pic.
There were holes here from 2 of the rear signals I decided to not use, because I have more lowering on rear fairing and intergraded in the tail light.
I have a question about my right fairing. There is a spot that looks like its melted or something, but a buddy who had a red 01 katana has the same thing from what I remember. Is this suppose to be there?? Should I bother trying to fix it before paint??
]Here's a pic:
Those pics are not the newest of filler and everything.
Some new stuff I have include:
-New tail light with signals.
-New front signal lights.
-New grips and bar ends.
LED's I will be using.
One of the paint colours.
Some other things I'm doing/have done this winter to be ready for spring.
-K&N Air filter.
-New spark plugs.
-Oil and filter change.
-Valve adjustment.
-Hopefully getting frame sliders to protect my new paint job from BRAUNSTIEN82, maybe new chain and sprockets from him as well.
