Looks nice. What type of paint did you use?
Hi there I just used brush on Matt black hammerite on the frame and fork bottoms .
Then some kawasaki green high heat caliper paint I found on eBay
Those calipers look great. I'd be interested in doing that also. Did you just use the Kawasaki green on the caliper or did you have to prime it. This is a hott mod.

No primer didn't use it on the rocker cover either . I just sanded them down to give the paint a bit of a rough surface to grip to . Worked a treat . Although when I was bleeding the front some brake fluid has brought a little bit of the paint of but nothing I can't touch up :)
I like the rear turn signals too. What about that seat cover? how'd you manage that.
Just bought some camo fabric from the market , cu :confused:t bigger than the actual seat and re- stapled it underneath .
I sprayed it with some waterproof stuff but I'm not sure if it actually works !
I've also got a single speedo to go on , standard clocks cut down the middle and welded half of the outer ring from both speedo and rev counter to make it a perfect fit , needs a bit more work with some fibre glass and filler on the back . I'll post up some pics when I get chance

as you can see from all of the keys in the photo i have quite a few GS's :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
haha I do see that. I was going to say something earlier becuase your first picture looked like you had the front end of another right next to it. Your rear on the bike looks high. Did you do anything to mod that or was it just the fairings off that made it seem that way?
Rear end is normal maybe because I took the fairins off . I'm getting an sv shock which will jack up the back
Props to you. Also was the brand of caliper paint g2?
item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=270907974425&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=58671101242 that's the stuff I bought , don't even think its branded , don't know if link will work on my mobile :)
Almost where ?
out of my drive ;)
Nice ratbike you have there!
Cheers guys , just fitted a 600 katana shock , gsx600f yesterday , can't believe how much stiffer the rear end is :D
Need to make some brackets for my belly pan and should be good to go :D
Where'd you hide all the electronics that were mounted to the frame?
And could you post a pic of it without the seat? i'm curious on how the wiring looks
Hi there ill get some pics up over the weekend , just at work today :)
Sweet! Sounds good
Bump! any news?
