This is my first time idealing with powder coat so I Dont know what people do with the ugly bolts. I've been taking my dremel with a soft wire wheel to all of them to clean off corrosion/gunk and pretty them up a bit.

The wife gave me an extra hour or so in the cave so the engines in the frame. Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my swing arm to get welded than it still needs to be coated.

Also bit of wisdom Dont let rubber parts soak for a month in tire shine , they expand. Ruined all the piston seals, and various brake components. The only parts that weren't destroyed were the boots for shift linkages and the hard gear shift ****. I'm on call this weekend so I doubt I'll getuch time to do anythin but we shall see.

 

Lookin good. You should open up your fairings to verify that they are in good order and there are no cracks or chips and the paint is accurate. If you wait to long they may not warranty them.

 

That'd **** me off I looked at the nose fairing when I got them paints not perfect( runs in the clear on some of the edges) but overall it looked good. I'll try and get my wife to pull them out tonight.

 

The forgot the "r" in Fireblade on my set for my Repsol. They do make mistakes.

 

LoL that's hilarous, I'll get on top of it tonight I hope there OK I Dont wanna deal with any problems.

 

Yeah - and they were good about it too. They apologized profusely and I had a new fairing in a week. "Fi eblade" isn't all that great of a look on the side of the bike.

When I tossed the bad one to the curb on trash day - I made some 10 yr old kid's day who was riding his bicycle and asked if he could have it.

 

That's cool if i were that kid id be stoked too, you dont think the runs warrant replacement do you?

 

Quick question is it worth it to change the oil in the shock and recharge with nitrogen? And If so what oil do I use? I have some oil left over from my r6 forks id like to use.

 

It does not hurt to try. If it is bad enough they might replace it.

 

Snapped some pictures of the fairings the other night. Paint looks awesome but both front fairings( I bought 2) have crappy mold marks. I think I will contact them not sure what they'll do about it.
