thanks guys, i just got that paint on there, it hasnt even been wet sanded or buffed yet (that should change as of this weekend) then next week I am getting the frame and swingarm polished, so I will make sure to have some new pics up then.

I just put on chrome levers and chrome skull grips 2 days ago, but right now i'm kinda pissed because i was going down the highway, coming up to a light, i go to stop, and lo and behold, i DO NOT HAVE A BRAKE LEVER!!! i almost creamed the rear end of a truck in front of me, i had to lay into my rear brake, causing me to start sliding, i slid right in between the 2 vehicles in front of me and finally got the bike still...

so right now i have a chrome clutch lever, and a stock brake lever held on by a damn nut and bolt that hardly fits...

Very sweet, I must say. I really REALLY prefer the headlight style on the 2000-2003 model gixxers to the new design introduced in '04.

thanks, a few other little thing i plan on doing include:

new exhaust (yoshi, full system)
new triple tree and clip-ons (vortex)
chome windscreen
polished aluminum plate to go where that "gap" is on my gas tank...
some kind of air brush design... not sure exactly what yet
either chrome or polished rims...

Nice so far mate!

You might want to hire a security guard to watch over that thing once you add those mods. olice:

I tried very hard to find something wrong with it......but I can't! Nice bike man.

P.S..........White Rims :mrgreen:

 

[rmcelroy]

well, as for the security guard, at work, i actually park it on the side walk in front of the security station. high security

i dont think ill be doing white rims... im going to stick with the chrome/polished and red look

 

[Ride-or-die]

i was going to say, and this takes a whole lot of time and effort but polish the whole rim

 

[Miyamoto]

Awesome bike man...graphics on that red with all the chrome'll be "Crazy Phat"
Ahem...sorry...I just had to go there!!!

 

[LayinLo]

Paint looks good!!!!!!

 

[Ride-or-die]
