Check out the New Ride...
Finally got my bike back on the road...Killing the streets, and the look is something different.
Tell me what you think, video clips coming soon...
a busted tranny started this project...still not done, carbon fiber front fender...
i just have to figure out how to mount a damper...i have a nice Storz top mount but with the bar setup it wont fit anymore...
painted and the motor was all done in the garage, the clear coat was the hardest part. still need to paint the wheels but i dont care, just want to ride.

Looks good. Is that a 929 subframe?

Re: Check out the New Ride...
thanks fellas,
and no thats just a 954 subframe with the paint stripped off...
and its a stock throttle cable...sticks alittle but there is nothing i can do about that.

I'd apply some Meguari's Clear Coat Body Scrub followed by Deep Crystal #2 then a layer of Color X. Finally put on a layer of NXT Tech Wax followed by another layer 24 hours later once it's cured then if you want extra gloss try #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax.

Try Prestone Wheel Rims cleaner when you get done with the wheels because it's brake dust repellent for like a month works great.. I'd also recommend some Endurance **** isnt slick or anything and stays on strong water beads right off for up to a month. Laters

Re: Check out the New Ride...
damn, i guess i have to go all black...
can't paint the motor because clear coating it wouldnt be a good idea but the subframe and engine covers can be painted and cleared in a days worth of work..
sticker is coming off regardless because everyone here locally told me it looks like crap.
i can't paint these wheels because theyre shot...bent in all places but once i get some new ones ill make it match.
im trying hard to convert to RC51 forks (dark gold anodized) and the 5 spoke wheels but i dont know if the rear wheel would fit.
im heading out to this new spot here in MD sat and im looking to tear it up. this bike wasnt meant to just look pretty. ill post pics and some vid clips as soon as i get some.
Thanks for the feedback fellas.
