Boot State Update..

[Chanse]

Ladies and Gentlemen I am back from my vacation and got the money from my insurance co, from my accident back in march. Just to let yall know I've got some stuff on the board, for you all to drool over..... Just for teasers for now, but you are all gonna love this shyte..... Heres some pics of my plans. STAY TUNED......

1. Rear passenger pegs from the Ducati multistrada 1000 (Modified of course, they wont fit as it).




2. RearSets from 1994 CBR F2




3. Colors from the 2008 GSXR750 or similar like the pearlescent orange on the misubishi eclipse.. Gotta love that orange and black.




4. Body......... Stay tuned.

[REAP]

Those rear pegs look HAWT!!!!


So will the colours 

[LOUiE]

what a waste of a post 

my imagination is not good enough to envision any of those items on a bike.   

i'm guessing you're modding another GS?  no?

see!  details... frig. 

[Chanse]

Ok I couldnt hold it in anymore....

[Chanse]

Also looking into custom exhaust. If there are any wild ideas you think would be unique, cool, nice to see, drop a suggestion. I pretty much have a picture of everything Im gonna do, but options are always nice, like the passenger pegs, I was looking for GSXR or TL1000 pegs but I came accross these and said hummmppphh with a little modification these would look great.... So throw something out there If I like Ill use it, If it inspires me Ill change it... lol

[Chanse]

Ok please hold your comments if your gonna tell me how crappy the picture is, I did this with microsoft paint (Which Sucks) in like 30 minutes. I dont have Photoshop, so bare with me. The orange is going to be only one color I did it this way to try and give it some hint of the pearlescent paint I want to use.

[Bluesmudge]

That's a pretty amazing mock up for MS paint. I like the design!

[bucks1605]

Have you started any physical work on the bike? Or are you waiting on parts?

[utgunslinger13]

damn good drawing in paint!  I've done plenty worse with paintshop! lol  Can't wait to see it come to fruition!

What fairings are those? They custom? Oh yeah and if you want a photo editing program to mess with colors try paint.net it's free and esier to use than photoshop.

isn't it the color scheme from new Yamaha FZ6R??

[Chanse]

Qwertydude...... thanks for the site. Ill try it out Ill try it out. (edit) by the way I think its www.getpaint.net thats where its directing me to. These are the fairings sold by Mmotos. I'll post the full URL in a while, but they offer several kits, this one is a little expensive ($1500) But it comes pre-painted, with new headlight, mirrors, windscreen, blinkers, new tail section with built in blinkers, new seat pads, new headlight mount also mounts gauges, (so you can lose the ugly top plate), Mounts to mount side fairings, front and rear huggers, and Clip ons. So when you think of it that way, its not too bad, and Ill get some of my money back when I sell the stuff I don't need after the build.

Kml.krk....    Not quite, the colors were always gonna be the pearlescent orange and black cause thats who I'm gonna paint my 68 Cuda when its done, but the star design was inspired by the new yamaha, that and Jason Britton's captain America design, Love the show, didn't wanta copy him flat out. But I have always liked his bikes.

bucks1605.... Right now I have the bike torn down. Just got my new gauges in, new tank, and my CBR f2 rear sets. So today I'm modifying the sets to go on. But lots more coming in and ordered, In fact I have the thick fork brace, and a powdercoated Kat shock coming from Buddha, and I talked to Dgyver this morning and bought his Kat 600 wheel. So looking forward to riding again soon...


Oh and I just won a no name carbon fiber exhaust can on ebay for $80 that will end up being chopped and relocated, possibly. depends on the sound and looks...

$1500 + cost of your bike + additional mods = nice 600 faired bike or a good down payment on one.

But who am I to talk. I have already done everything you are planning on doing.

you probably are right,
but there wil be 35million 200thousands 7hundred and around 65 of those 600Rs on the street looking exactly the same and he will be the only one with cute, little custom 500 

cheers and good luck with the project

PS. seamax, no hard feelings - I am just bored at school 

[Toogoofy317]

Kripe Chanse you beat me to it. I was gonna say Jason Briton from Super Bikes. Some of his shows on Speed are pretty cool. The ice racing one took the prize when the dude drove his car into the lake LMFAO!

I already got an "F" but if something were to "happen" to Flick I'd go for those fairings in a heart beat. For me the 500 is well enough to get me in hot water I don't need more power. Almost, earned me a $261 ticket an hour ago coming home. Thank God for LEO T-shirt I was sporting!

Seamax.... The main reason I went with the kit was because technically my bike was supposed to be totalled. I talked the insurance adjuster into repairing the bike because the frame, and engine are perfect, just mostly cosmetic damage, so he "ADJUSTED" the amounts that he could accept for salvage, to give me the max pay back to fix my ride. bikes only worth what  $4200 and he gave me $3100 for damages minus my $500 deductable. I could have bought used stuff and saved lots, but my bank wouldnt release funds to me unless it had invoices for the bike, So it would have cost me just as much going with all new parts, if not more, than going with the kit.... So I figured, Why the he-ll not. Besides, I've had other bikes, and Im in this one just cause I love to ride, I didnt buy this one for speed.

Looking forward to more updates.

Hey no hard feelings. I'm saying I'm in the same boat. I got one of the very first MMOTOS fairings when Aluizio created it as a prototype with the undertail exhaust, which he no longer produces. Did all the mods possible when Pablo's website was the main source for us GS'ers. And as witness on this board there are numerous customized GS500's. Our European members have done some of the most radical modifications I have ever seen to a GS.

They have inspired me on to my next project...a flat black cafe racer from an old CB750.

SEAMAX.... None taken, I  didnt mean to come off as being rude , but I must have.. sorry, Yeah I remember reading your post when you did yours, you put those twin ATV mufflers under the belly. I checked into that and asked him about them, the only info he could give me was that it was a brazilian company that made them and they cost $600. So I guess you got yours pretty cheap. .. lol. I just bought a Carbon fiber can off of ebay, I dont know If Im gonna mount it regularly, or chop it and put it under the tail, stealing someone else's idea... lol, I'll just have to see where it looks best once I get the body put on. Hows yours, have you changed anything else?

I started fooling around with my CBR F2 rearsets today and damn it Im gonna have to chop off the tab that holds the brake switch to get it to fit, so Im gonna cut a steal plate that will be sandwhiched between the frame and rearset to move the switch out of the way a freakin 1/4 inch can you believe that mess... lol Oh well I guess thats what you gotta do if you want something different. Im also gonna have to go to the hardware store tommorow and get some shorter bolts, or a couple of washers.

Did you get the brake cylinder and line with the CBR rearset? I bought my cbr rearset off ebay too and it came with the brake cylinder and lines. All I did, besides dremeling the holes wider to make the reasets fit onto the GS, was to removed the GS brake cylinder, switch and lines and run the CBR one. Just have to refill brake fluid and run out the bubbles.
