not sure the rubber collar on the intake tubes would like the heat of a powder coat oven..

Good thinkin! No plans to pull them off anytime soon anyway

Masked off the rear rotor and painted it to match the fronts. Painted a little bigger diameter than stock to make it look more similar in size

Got the front fender painted and cleared today. Turned out good, just needs a buff and polish once the clear is all cured.

Also got my vinyl wrap in and did the shock reservoirs. I like it! Very happy with how closely the wrap matches the forks, even the brushed finish feels the same

Nice dude! I'm digging that vinyl wrap on the reservoir! Doing well with the little black and gold match-ups going throughout this bike!

Got the fork seals changed today. Was a slow process as I was learning how to do it, but next time it’ll be much quicker. While I had them all pulled apart I removed the blue from the fork caps, the anodizing was very faded and chewed up. 20 minutes soaking in a bit of draino and a little brass brush and it was back to bare alloy. Will match the rest of my front end better now.

Fitted some black CBR600 pegs. Pretty minor modifications needed to makes them work, just a bit of drilling and a little hacksaw work and they bolt on with all the stock hardware and still fold...and match my powder coated brake pedal perfectly

Coming back together, painting the front fender black was definitely the way to go.

The black fender is sooo much better than removing it. Makes it look like something you can enjoy riding.

[Hanslehoff]

All put back together and just about ready to insure

And the heavens opened and bestowed upon us an angel unlike any we had ever seen.

But seriously, she's looking better than ever. Excellent attention to detail.

[DUGG]

Ya know Hanslehoff your making the rest of us look bad.

[CYBORG]

I love it!!!

[codyjames707]

Bad dude! I love the subtle silver and gold going from the front to the back, especially with a bike that has a lot of black and red. Good way to make it all pop!

[desertrefugee]

Wow.
