Default Have a look-see at my bike

I got my 06' 1kRR about three weeks ago and have been working in my spare evenings doing some mods on it. I really wanted to change it from a black and gray/silver paint scheme toblack and red.

What I've done:
[ul][*]Painted the mesh behind the seat cowl and the rear plastic fairing; changed it from gray to red[*]Removed all factory gray/silver decals, along with all the normal bs ones, and replaced select ones with red reflective decals[*]Painted the Honda logo on the motor cover red along with the Motivation logo on the frame sliders[*]Proton flush mount front turn signals painted a clear-red[*]Flapper mod[*]Pitbull spools/swing arm sliders[*]Motivation no-cut frame sliders[*]Competition werkes fender elim (painted black) and rear turn signals (also painted clear-red)[*]Puig windscreen[*]BMC race filter[*]Tapeworks rim tape[*]Removed passenger pegs, rear-sets, and heat shield and painted them black. (hopefully will powder-coat the parts and the swing-arm this winter)[/ul]

This is the most I've done to any of my bikes and I've had a great time doing all the work myself. Comments are welcome.

Enjoy!

Looks good.
Can you post a closer pic of your rear blinkers? They look pretty neat!

Great looking 1000, just curious what type of paint did you use for your rear set footpegs, thanks.

looks great, hey i'm trying to find frame sliders that don't require any mods to the fairing, what kind are those on your bike?
