Paint looks very Nice!

DIY on the seat too? Could use  some fine tuning on the back there...( I do upholstery/ trim work..). Kinda takes away from the Nice paint Job.

If it's DIY...and you want to tweak it some more- pull the material loose at the back and down the sides and get out your hair dryer ...the heat will soften the vinyl  and let it stretch more... keep pulling it/working it around the back and under the sides...should be able to get rid of alot of the fullness/wrinkles in the material. If a  professional shop did that seat for you- you should take it back and tell them to finish the job....

You're going to hate the white vinyl if you're going to use the bike regularly and not make it a show bike ( lots of cleaning..).


A seat I did a few years ago..(sorry the pic isnt big  after you click on it). If I can dig up the pics of the  seat on my ZX11 that I did I'll post it...(Or I'll just take some new ones ):




Paint looks great- I like the 3 stripes on the rims lip inline with the 3 spokes.

Thinks It's my first bike seat I'll try the hair drier to see how much comes out.

Thanks for the tip!

got the blue on now




I painted my gauges, tirm, gauge cover and light bucket tonight I'll post more tomarrow.

I'm loving the polished accents (grab handle, lips).. have you considered a pair of the polished case covers that Chuck sells?

Also, are the fork lowers polished? It's hard to tell from the pics..

Yes fork lowers are polished! Thanks.

I got Stripper/Polish happy!!

It's a good thing their wasn't much more I could have done.

I've been thinking about getting the Polished polished case covers, and the fork brace.

I've got a lot of stuff left to do to it, but I want ride so mods will have to come slow.

I am planning to do the same thing to my frame, but will do powdercoat instead of paint.
Cool.

looks good ! . next time though... if your trying to hide your numbers on your plate .. dont use that painters tape you can still see though it .. i could read almost everynumber clear as day   .. not that i have any use for it but ... next time . use some duck tape

  I saw that after it was post opps!! 

I'm not really worried about it but I saw most people do it so I thought it was the thing to do!

Someone should do a Star Wars GS, landspeeder-style white and black, and ride around with a stormtrooper outfit on. 

Looking great man, i dont think I could have the skills to do that myself

maybe you can do something with the mirrors get some blue and/or white in there, I think it kinda needs a little something upfront, but that could be just me im more  of a fan of the full fairing look.
