Kyle_99_gtp Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well I cleaned up my bike some, did some paint repair on the left fairing (filler/touchup, wetsanding, polishing) to the damage done by the previous owner, then gave the bike a nice wash and wax. I also got some new graphics, which look pretty good in my opinion.First, I replaced the "SUZUKI" graphics on the fairings with reflective white. They look stock during the day but at night they are highly reflective, and being seen is always a good thing I also got carbon fiber engine cover graphics, with reflective blue "SUZUKI" logos on them as well, and a pair of the Suzuki "S" logo in carbon fiber to go over the brushed aluminum on the gas tank.I'll get some picture of the "S" on the gas tank some other time. I ordered them slightly too small and they don't cover the brushed aluminum completely. All the graphics are from houseofgrafx.com, which I have been using for all my graphic's needs for about 4 years. All the vinyls on my car are also from houseofgrafx, and they are still holding up great after spending winter in Ohio for their entire lives. You can get just about anything you want made there as well. The motor case graphics were a custom job but can now be found on the website. Once I find a carbon fiber slip on can I think everything will be tied together nicely. If I can't be fast I might as well be nice to look at as I putt around Here's a picture for reference to what my bike looked like when I got it (minus wheel tape): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle_99_gtp Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I do like the integrated signals. My g/f's bike just had the stock ones.They were a pita to install though, I had to cut the base of the light down so the lens would fit flush, and the wires are color-coded incorrectly. I also had to replace the connector and resolder all the wires. The quality was complete crap but it looks good now that its working.

Kyle_99_gtp Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 why does it look like your pontiac is doing a RWD burnout?In my sig pic? It doesn't look like it's doing a rwd burnout to me? The back wheel has more white around just from the blur effect I think is what you're seeing.It'll do the fronts though (the back of the car is jacked up with springblockers to keep it from squatting on launches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
