Haha.

I did a little looking around, and there seems to be two sets of opinions.

Pretty much everyone agrees that painting the inside of the rotors is fine. Just use some high temp paint, like VHT's stuff.

Most people suggest taping off the brake contact area because getting paint in the brake pads is a Real Bad Idea.

I may have to consider adding another thing to my to-paint list

I won't paint the braking surface of the rotors, just the part that is already painted. Taping it off shouldn't be too hard, just a bit time consuming. This probably won't happen til mid July though. I want to be able to do everything all at once and I won't be able to have my bike out of commission for an entire week+ until then.

Looks sick! How long did those levers from Hong Kong take to get to you?

The HID kit is from eBay. There is a link in one of the posts. Vegas used the same kit in his build.

you may not think the HID's are bright but trust me they are unbelievably bright. anytime i ride with people I have to go lo-beam only. Otherwise they can't see! haha

I really like the setup, really clean.

Was the gas cap powdercoated? I didn't really notice any other parts on the bike powdercoated but i didn't look so I'm assuming you got all that stuff powdercoated. haha

also IMO i think you should add a black stripe or something to the very front of the bike similar to this
