Title: project Update 2.0
Post by: mach1 on February 09, 2008, 05:00:35 PM
So not much is new but I did do some things
I was having trouble with the other rearsets I had so I put two together and I have more stability.

I have had a few poeple ask me what custom belly pan do I have and I tell them I chopped up the stock fairings and whala

i still need to paint the tank,  add Ducati street fairings possible a solo tail or a older F4i, Paint and polish the motor, replace the stock headers with jardine headers using the custom mid-pipe, and add a larger rear sprocket.

Nice looking bike !

For popups and other flash annoyances, GET FIREFOX ! and ADBLOCK extension !

It makes the web fun again !

I like the look of that polished lip. I've never done that, how hard is it? I just bought a katana rear wheel and was thinking about doing that before I put it on.

its not real hard cause you let the aircraft paitn remover do all the work, It does get real messy unless your going to use water to remove all the stripper and loose paint I used raggz to wipeoff the stuff then clean with water. each wheel took about 1.5 hours
