Project CBR1000F!
Hi all,for the last month or so i've been busy getting my 1KF ready for the better weather.Got a few new bits like chain & sprocket and
an Autocom to fit,but before that i've stripped the swingarm out for a clean and paint as well as the wheels and a few other things.
Still got a way to go,but she's coming along now!

RE: Project CBR1000F!
The top photo in my first post is what the swingarm looked liked when i first took it off.
I'm trying to go for a chrome look on it without actually getting it chrome-plated which would be expensive!
Trouble is on my first attempt i used "decorative" chrome look paint - which when dry rubs off and isn't very
durable......but now i've got some hammerite chrome look radiator paint which should hopefully be better!
When it's all done i'll post up a picture of the bike as it was originally and another of it back together when all
the works been completed.

RE: Project CBR1000F!
Yeah,it's pretty simple stuff really,ghostrider - i didn't have any probs - just check the swingarm bushes and linkages for signs of wear.
I've had to give up on my chrome look swingarm as i couldn't get any paint that wouldn't rub off! [:@]
Gone for a bmw titainum silver,with laquer afterwards,don't look too bad - will post pictures soon.
I can't wait for it to be back together,not long now!
