bike looks good

 

it's coming along looking good!

 

i want a fighter bad - dig the color scheme!

 

man i know it may not seem like much but i have been working and trying to figure out the rear section and the tail light on this bike forever, after some sanding and cutting,
wow! big bike weekend! got a ton done on the fighter and just as much on the gold wing.... got the tank, f fender, front fairing, and chain case cover all painted.
5 coats semi gloss black, 4 coats of mat clear, PERFECTLY the color i wanted.... i was going to do some airbrush work on it but my buddies would not let me, i got the whole "less is more speach" and i have to say, they where right! this looks insane!

also tore appart the calipers and powdered those in gloss black to make them pop a bit on the flat, also coated the rest of the engine cases and all the rest of the orange, now it is just putting it all back together!








bit of polishing work... got it all fingured out and mounted ready for paint!
also tossed on the front fender and mocked up the lamp and tank lid. looks pretty sweet, wish the camera did not blow ***** to show how it looked

 

with passanger seat


with rear cowl

 

That thing is going to look evil

 

Street fighter builds are always fun.

 

Orange and Black, bit of an unusual combination but in this case it looks like it could work. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

well, did not get much done last night... ya know St. Paddys day and all... but, while i waited on the wife to come home i put in the rebuild kit in the brakes, cleaned up the pistons, put in the new composite pads, cleaned up the braided lines, and mounted them all up... my speed bleeders are here so i just have to pick up some dot 4 and i can bleed them out! The R1 4 pot brakes are going to be a huge upgrade in stopping power! i am stoked for them!

*sorry for the crap pics, snapped pics with my cell this morning

eliminated the junction and ran them right to the master, have a bit of extra but i can secure that nicely so it does not look all floppy

 

Well, got after it Thurs and Fri night, got the rest of the paint done, rear brakes lined up (still need to mount up the master so i have not blead them yet), front engine brace on the other side, picked up my engine gasket kit, and started to wire the bike, also got the passanger peg supports on the bike. once the wiring is done, then i can put in the gaskets, get the radiator and exhaust back on... finish the carbs (need to set the floats, jet kit is already in there)

almost! workign like crazy!!!!

after the last coat of semi gloss black, snapped a pic after the booth cleared out and i was getting the clear ready
