Cheers bud. Finally starting to get a move on it, however I'm gonna be away for work for a couple of weeks as off tomorrow, so I'll get back into it when I get back

Finished off the paint today, decided to give the rocker cover a bit of red to make it stand out
Then wrapped her up to take her home, ready to be mounted int he frame when I get back in a couple of weeks

I did Rod, for a full day. Would have left it there for the weekend, but I'm flying out tonight for 2 weeks and couldn't risk leaving it at work.

A bloke at work got his ute painted a few weeks ago, and the spray painter told him to leave it in his shed, and to not touch it for a fortnight to give the paint the a real decent amount of time to harden. Apparently it takes at least a week for all the thinners to come out of the paint. But no one is that patient to wait a fortnight, before re-assembly, haha.Originally Posted by BANDITROD
Well, I would have loved to have left it, but I'm in Italy right now for work. I'll put the engine in the frame as soon as I get back to Melbourne
looks good wacky i think everything i own has a red rocker cover even my diesel hilux copped it , true about the paint drying time but im sure it will be fine
looks the bolix ......
Well, after 2 weeks of work in Italy, flew out on Thursday and landed in Melbourne today (Sat) at 3am. Was home by 4am and got to bed by 5am. Sold the R1 and then fitted the engine to the Gixxer. Not a bad day considering I just got back

No worries bud, any time
Well, some more shed time tonight. Got the throttle bodies fitted and wired up, most of the front end of the loom sorted, billet cases and SS bolt kit fitted.
Also just received my new dash (Motogadget)
Looks good jules the only thing I would do is either get billet covers for the rest of the engine or paint them to suit your new covers cos they look out of place to me

Yeah, I'm thinking more billet
looking great so far Jules, Im keen to see how this turns out.
