88lx5oh Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 well im starting a short project with the new bike.. taking all the body work off and getting it painted. ill be doing all of the prep work.. sanding fixing a few bad spots, and putting it in primer, then handing it off to 614streets (will) brother paul for paint. he did a friend of mines 99 R6 with incredible results (i did all the prep work on that bike as well) currently the bike looks like this.. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL371189.jpg and will be transformed into this http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9950/post5311223665136ui2.jpg my wheels will be staying black, and he will be tinting the turn signals and tail light. so far i have gotten all the body work off besides the tank. the engine, chain, swingarm was pretty dirty so i decided to degrease everything and hit it with the pressure washer while i had it apart. i also did an oil change since it was due, and switched it over to Mobile 1 4T full synthetic. ill be throwing a K&N in as well since ill have it apart. pics soon to come.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I am thinking of just selling it. I cancelled the insurance on it already and will probably let someone else have it if I can think of a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think staying with the black wheels will make it look a bit better than the one pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
