All of the paint is House of Kolor gold primer sealer, Guacamole Green Pearl, House of Kolor Ice Gold Pearl, House of Kolor ShowKlear. A few pieces were done with a pearlescent hydrographic film. All of the plastics were painted, the rotors, the front headlight stay, the rear shock was disassembled and painted as well as the lowering links. Frame sliders were also painted to match.

Apart from that ugly ass swingarm I love it :)
So have you had it on the Dyno yet?
I would love to see the results after the work you have had done.
Nice job.

I've always hated the stretched swingarm look...
House of Kolor paint is the shaZam!, but you sure pay for it.
My GS was done in Tangerine Kandy on top of Galaxy Grey with some Orion Silver pinstripes. Was like $200 for just enough to do the tank and side plastics. I'd hate to buy for a whole car!
No dyno yet. Just put it back together about a month ago and have been working out the bugs as time permits.
Swingarm actually bought cheap for a buddy and his Busa but he then sold it. Since I had it, I put it on. I have a brand new 240 kit from Trac Dynamics and matching front/rear RC Component rims with spinners. Bought it all cheap. But all of it has to get re-chromed still.
Definitely not for me.

im not. A fan of stretches either, however as wheelie prone the gixxers are it helps. Thought about house of kolor when v i get to the point of completing. The two projects ive got. But looking at maybe 4 pints to do it right. Weedahoe i must admit i am impressed
Say what you will, but god damn that s**t is tight...guess you could buy 10 GS500s with the cash you put in that.
Thanks CieL.
Riding this versus a GS is night and day. The power, the accessories, the mods, the capabilities, the braking...... Ect. So many pros to the new bike. I had been changed pads and flushed new DOT4 through the lines but last week before going out of town on it I swapped everything over the stainless braided lines and...... WOW. Much better braking over what good brakes I already had. But I spent $150 in 3 brake lines.
The only other downside is the cost of insurance versus the GS but for the year with full coverage I pay around $600 for the year.
