RE: My Baby, Finally done!
A little costly, main problem is that every part for this year has to be ordered so when I find that I need something it takes a week to get it. I paid $1700 for her and I've put $600-700 into so figure I've got around $2400 into this project. Of course it saves $ when you do the work yourself! I don't even want to know how much someone would have charged me for rebuilding the forks...

I price quoted forks for New vs rebuilding forks for my brothers 03 R6 and it was at the local dealer $450+ new or $300 dollars just for labor for the firks w/out parts for the rebuild. Im mechanically inclined but never did much on bikes so im scared i'll f' somethnig up it would cost me an arm and leg to repair my mistake.
*you got yourself a good looking bike for $2400 or so especially when you can do it yourself you know its done right.*

looks good. clean from what i can see but im not crazy about the brown seats on a white bike.. and looks like your going o need a new can on that headder... i would go with black seats and a carbon fiber can. it would bring out that polish job you got ...do some font pics and the other side too.. maybe a few shot of the rim close up..???
only thing i dont like iss the front signals, i have those on a 97 ninja and its not flush with the faring. and a poorly designed blinker. <----- i gota say i think this guy is right... look at the photos i have of my bike i bought slimmer single bulb turnsignels and put led's in the air ducts... also i see a cut out for framesliders but they dont look like there in the right spot???

If it were mine I wouldnt want to be throwing a bunch of cash at a fullsytem.. But Im cautious that way.. I would paint the whole exhaust in heat resistant paint. Black would work, add some contrast and save a ton of cash... Maybe leave the end cap shiny?
I would experiement with a red seat too..maybe a white one?

RE: My Baby, Finally done!
Dude full exhaust is not just about looks lol. It's also about the performance factor and what about the sound of the pipe? Think about it , you don't want the same jank *** pipe on a bike your trying to trick at least get a slip on but a full system is only like 600-700 bucks for a really nice one full system = a smart investment. No charge for the advice! ALPHA
