Default Accident project

So I was in an accident back in may that Broke both hips, pelvic bone, shoulder blade, jaw bone, eye socket, and fractured my skull 4 times, but it did more to my bike then me. I have been working on rebuilding the bike since I got out of the hospital/rehab and I thought I would post some pictures to see what anyone thinks of it so far. she is not done yet but sure is getting close! let me know on what you like or dont like.

Here is how the bike looked before the accident, shes a 2005 CBR 1000rr

ya the impound yard didnt care at all about my bike, but even when I got the bike home it didnt stay upright very easily due to the rim smashed, steering stem bent, triple tree shattered. I like the white/black just because it is something a little different but not to crazy

I like the black/white combo to but just to anyone who is thinking about ordering fearing kits from china/japan, I hope you are confident with tools cause they are not perfect and it takes some re drilling to fit it properly but its way worth it!

Hey it looks awesome! I feel your pain, I was hit by a SUV going through an intersection last August. My bike was written off though which is why I have the 08 CBR1000rr. I love it!
What hit you or what did you hit?

Take care

I was going through a light that was green for me but there was a guy driving a Toyota Tundra illegally driving and he didnt stop at his red light he just rushed out into my lane and slammed on his brakes so he would be able to turn into a Carls Jr drive through for a burger. He got deported back to Mexico before my insurance company could do a thing, so this has been a Long expensive year!
