Steve Butters Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Got rid of all the silver on the side of my bike.. Swingarm covers (fake frame looking pieces) and such.. Just a shitty cell pic right now, I'll get it out tomorrow and clean it up and then get better pics.. Love how it turned out.. And a stock photo for reference.

wagnem10 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Definitely looks better imo, good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks good, Butters. Where ever did you get that idea?Did mine over winter. Why the manufactures want to add some dull silver and gray to an otherwise all black frame I'll never understand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks good man, i did mine a couple years ago. How come you decided not to do the shift rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can't get the joints out where it connects on each end, left it silver for consistency... Steph thinks I should paint it too.. I might end up doing it, but for now it doesn't bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The escape is filthy.. It's on the list this weekend... It's just our around town car, so spends a lot of time on dirt roads... It's never clean lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 plus....nobody cares about that side of the bike....heres the good looking side They make a high-mount exhaust for that? it's killing my OCD that the can is in front of that beautiful single-side swingarm.

Steve Butters Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Nope. This was the best can I could get in terms of showing off the sssaAside from this setup... But this would be ear bleeding loud and not what I'm looking for www.racetaylormade.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/H11_Side-e1339550555678.jpg Edited June 19, 2014 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) painted the lower headlight cowl black...its not the exact same color - its the color of the darker black stripe in the side covers....should look much better than the grey ...ill put up a pic once its back on the bike tomorrow-ish also did a nice cheap mod - my bike front and rear turn signals are the same signal used on cbr1000rr rear, except the cbr has smoked clear lenses with amber bulbs and the cb has amber lenses with clear bulbs....so i bought the clear smoked lenses from the cbr and put them on my cb with some chrome bulbs....cost me like $30-35 for lenses and bulbs all together, and helps a lot...pics to come when i get it together, but heres the lenses....keeps a nice stock look and clarity but cleans up nicely New vs Old Edited October 22, 2014 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 oh, and i moved the horn up behind a cowl so it doesnt hang off the bottom of the radiator anymore.....such an ugly design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 cowl is painted and back on bike...surprisingly, this was one of the most frustrating things ive done on this bike...it just wouldnt line up right again, took me an hour just to get the headlight back together...well worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
