Stayed after work tonight to finish the spacer for the top triple to complete the swap. Also bent up some metal for some small side covers. Had some help.

looks like the bike is attracting pussy already mate.
haha, yep.
Today I played around giving it a faux-patina look. Was fun but will be painting it nicely before spring. Just something to change it up for now. Also got the small side cover things bolted on. And toyed with the idea of a belly pan.

Wonder how much grief I'll get from the law putting my plate back in there?

Nice mate. Love the white and orange on the black pushy you did.
x2/\/\/\/\/\
Love ur work makes mine look timid.
So when did you stripe ur bike??
Last summer after I gave it a rattle can flat black paint job.
Just a small update. Got everything routed and plugged in and it fits under the seat. Just need to find a place for the ignition and I think i'll be striping it all down again to put some paint on the frame and swingarm.

Just make sure all of those components are cushion mounted mate (i.e. foam rubber under them or similar). If you don't you'll be amazed at how easy they can rattle apart if your roads are anything like Australia's.
Ok thanks for the tip. Hadn't thought of that.
Just some more wiring and found a place for the ignition.

looking good mate i like what you did with your ignition
nice little hidey hole for the ignition mate.
Not much progress. But I got a headlight and speedometer. And started prepping the frame. I think I will be leving the fauxtina paint for now. since I still have to order a front fender. I like to paint stuff all at once so I can make sure colors/metallics match.

good stuff mate keep at it
Is that a mustang in the background?
That paint looks good. You'd be an absolute pro at pulling an rf apart by now for sure haha!
yeah thats a mustang in the background. Its at the shop I used to work at.

Yeah I can take this bike all apart and put it back together pretty quick. :) Still going to need to do it one more time to get it out of the basement come springtime.
Frames painted and putting back together.

thats fucking sweet pinstriping on the frame mate i love it
Yeah, absolutley love that gloss on matt black. I might borrow that for one of the projects
That is sweet Erki! Bloody nice job mate.
Thanks guys, the frame needed something. Swingarm will be getting a design as well. Bike is starting to come together.
like everyone said, awesome idea with the striping on the frame!
Looks great mate,
Much good
Have to agree. Love the idea about pin-striping the frame.
