Good luck with your build, man. I'm in the process of fightering out my f2 as well so if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up. Also if you haven't checkout customfighters.com, they have a lot of good ideas, tips, pictures, etc.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm getting more and more excited about it the closer I get to finishing. Haven't done much since, except put the carbs back on. Which by the way is a pain in the ass. Couldn't get all four to seat properly at the same time. Started to work on the wiring the other night, too so we'll see how far I can get with all that. Still don't know about what color to do the wheels. I guess we'll see when I ge there.

And now mounted in the frame. Since I had no help, some of paint got chipped, but oh well. This is the only pic, I didnt think to take some before I moved it back to "my" side of the garage. Now which color to do the wheels. Yellow, red, or smoke??

Alright, finally got the motor painted...metallic smoke with yellow highlights....

Yep was going to do the metalic smoke and blue, but figured it's been done. Just happened to see a trailer for the new movie and figured it's something unique. And yes it will be fightered. Going to see if I can do a lot of custom stuff to it.

Got the frame all done and a couple of clear coats on. Need to get a couple more and do some finish sanding and buffing and then it will be on to the motor.

Now with the yellow added...

Beginning of the paint scheme. Started with the red.

frame before

Engine out and all bright and shiny.

Ok so didn't really get much done this winter. As of the past couple months, I dropped the motor and cleaned it all up. Stripped all wires and electrics off. Rewired some of the harness to either extend them or get rid of them. Decided on a paint scheme and sprayed away over the last week. Using the duplicolor metalcast line. Had to start with the red cuz that's all that was in stock and had to order the other colors online.

Nice. Lots of good info. Gonna have to check back when I start putting the bike back together.

Yes, I agree. I think I'm still going to replace all the gaskets and such since it is older bike while I am doing all the clean up in there. I need to look into insulutating my garage, too so it's not so butt ass cold in there. So to clean up the valves, I have Gunk brand carb, valve, cleaner. Would I actually have to pull them out or can I go ahead and spray them still in the motor??

So this is what I found when I pulled the carbs off the bike. Obvious where the source of the stain is now. Wondering if they came loose when I crashed it, and never retightened. Valves look like crud also. Wasn't able to get a good picture of it though.

Nice!! Too bad I just bought a dang ATC action cam not too long ago.

Damn, sounds like a sweet ass apartment. Nice and big and I bet it's tons warmer working indoors than my uninsulated garage with crappy space heater.

Good find on the clay. Only good prices I can find around here are 5lbs for $6. Looken good so far, dude. Making more progress than I am so far.

That werewolf skull is pretty cool, but without the hanging lower jaw in my my opinion. Just the top section would be sweet. Where did you get the projectors from? Are they just driving light projectors or from a specific vehicle??

Yeah, I hated guys with the super huge slammers. I had a nice metal one, but it wasn't huge. I got one of my old "tags"/nicknames from it. it said toXic with the X take up the whole circle. Ahhhh the good ole days before jobs and real life.

Yeah I was told/thinking head gasket also, but you are right if I look up into it, it's coming from higher. I need to get the airbox back off and have a look see. Thanks for the heads up though.

Looks like a pretty sick build, man. Good luck on the buildoff. DO WORK!!

Thanks for all the comments and replies. I'm hoping to get a lot done this winter. Hopefully I'm not diving in over my head. Only time will tell, I guess.

Possible overflow bottle. The can itself is thin so a shoved an aluminum water bottle in there. Fit perfectly. New speedo mount Waaaaay better than what I was using...

F4i rearset adapters from ebay. Can also see the f4i shock too. One thing I also have but didn't take a picture is an F4i kickstand. Had to take the actual stand off though and swap mounting brackets and reroute the spring, but it works so no more super lean when parked.

And some of my goodies R6 seat....anyone know how to take the paint off w/out damaging the seat?? R1 exhaust...little long...will need to chop em down Brake stuff
