Nice work man!!

 

Man, you are looking fine now. Love the color. How many hours and $$ do you estimate?

 

Thanks guys!

It took a few hours to paint flat black (spray can from Canadian Tire) and the fairings were painted in about 4 hrs.

It took about two weeks from start to finish and cost was very reasonable. About $150.

Painting in a paint booth: priceless ( I got to use it for free )

 

first class job mate. Looks like shes just come off the show room floor.

 

Hey there Rookie , couldn't help noticing the length of your mirrors are they from the later 1000f ?(I think '94 on). If so , do they slot straight on , or did you need to modify them?

I know there was an earlier thread on this subject , but it seemed to fizzle out.

 

That's a really gorgeous job you did there- love the new color, and you really can't tell it's not a mint bike.

 

Hi Hawk - they look to be the same mirrors I am using (I dont have carbon look ones though)



Yes they are from a later model (93 on?) the mounting holes are a tad too close together to mount on our bikes - but if you drill the holes out with a 13mm bit - they will just slide on nicely!

They stick out about 2inches further than standard and get rid of that "Dont I have lovelly elbows" view that we tend to get

 

Thanks for the info Harry I'm sure one day I'll be distracted from admiring my elbows by PC plods flashing blue lights
