The bike looks sensational!
As everyone else has said, leave the screen black!
That '69 Racing' sticker REALLY cheapens the look of the bike, IMO.
What mirrors are those?

Black it is.
That was my first decision but I obviously have friends with no taste that manage to convince me......Thats my excuse anyway.
I now want some of the clutch and brake levers that Stu has but need to save a bit of money first.
Our fine goverment will take $440 for a VIV, plus about $500 (I hope) for an engineer's certificate for my lights plus registration cost.
Anyway, its all good. Or for a good cause.

The mirrors are from Stu at Austreetfighters.
It comes with the bar weights.
I am not sure yet on how eficient it will be or if it will pass a RWC(I doubt).
thats a sweet looking ride letoy good job mate
it is only my opinion but leave the screen black it looks hot and you might find theres to much orange if you paint it
I actualy did sub-contract for the boys at Electromold a while back dismantling customer bikes and general maintenance.

If at least one of you isn't a woman then I think you're on the wrong forum 'guys'
After the majority of people comented on the fly screen, I decided to leave it black.
I also found out that I need to get VAS certificate due to my mods.
I had it inspected last friday and all that I had to do was put an ugly flap with a reflector on the rear mudflap.
This was expected. I am still waiting fot the engineer to let me know about the mirrors.
I was surprised that he let the muffler go through.
He is a friend of a friend. Thats problably why.
Now I have to concentrate on my Diary for the VIV certificate.
I also contacted HEL brake lines regarding the angles on the fittings of my hoses and the guy there was very helpfull and asked me to mail the hoses to himn and he will rectify my issue and no charge.
This is very good of him since I din't even buy it through him.
Anyway, this is what I am at with my project.
Also, as some of you might have noticed I was looking for some fairings so that I could get this bike through the VIV.
Vic Roads realised and they gave the wrong information at the start and after listening to the phone records and with a lot of pesistance from me they have agreed to register the bike as a naked and not as the manufaturer sold it.
Sorry about the long boring post.

Thank you for your comments.
I don't mind the idea of the stripes.... It depends on how wide and hard it would be to apply.
Might look into it.
Cheers

I got it painted at the Motorcycle Paint Clinic in Recervoir.
$600
Jo painted a CB900 B'ol D'or for me a few years ago and did and excellent job then too.
A collector up in Queensland bought it of me and love it.

The tank was sand blasted, then there's the tail piece, mud guard, rear wheel huger, chain guard and the front mudguard.
I think that its reasonable.
I know some other guy in the area that does top work but its a bit dearer.
I reckon that's a good price for a decent 2PAC paint job. I got an old GSX painted about 7 years ago and it was in the same price range. And that was the cheapest around at the time. You've done good.
Sounds like a fair price,now youve finnished stage 1 whats your plans for stage 2 ?
Actually I think that you are right M8 , I dropped in to a Bike repairers in Spottswood and he wanted anywhere up to about $1500 so I have had to give myself a reality check , Is this guy a mate of yours or is that a price he will do for others do you think?
I just ordered some nice levers from Stu.quote:Originally posted by sickboy

The next stage will be to buy a second hand rear sub-frame, converting it to a single seater (no room for the wife then).
I would also like to either make up some sort of belly pan.
Maybe some Nickel plating and anodising.
Not sure yet.
I also want to paint the engine covers. Possibly relocate the overflow botle.
Its all wants at this stage.
Really the next stage will be putting it on the road.
I now got a engineers certificate aproved.
Tomorrow I got it booked for R.W.C. inspection and hopefully next week will be the VIV inspection.
After that will be registration time.
Man, I am tired already.....
