Rearsets and rear pegs were powdercoated black as well. they are the OEM honda ones. i did a light texture on them to match the frame.

Thatīs one sweet ride man! Thanks for showingbrother ! Iīve been searching the net for a red one (the faster ones )with gold rims just to see if I liked it because I was planning to paint mine just like that and needed the visual confirmation that it would look awesome, and it does!!

Iīm not planning to change the swingarm but it will be pretty much alike, Iīll just paint the rearsets in gold also and I have a pair of gold shorty levers too just waiting in the box.

Just a question, the gold was your own mixture or does it have some kind of automotive reference? My brother is a painter and he can pretty much replicate any kind of paint.

again, awesome ride, thatīs how I like'em, clean, simple and tastefull

Thanks for the comments Slick 6. Its always nice to get buy in from my fellow CBR brothers!!!! I've always liked to keep things tastefully modded and clean looking. I would love to see pics of your bike once its done. We can make this the decidated splash of gold mod thread!!!!

The gold was one of the colors of the guy that did my powdercoating. The color was called golden nugget, so I hope that helps.

Keep rockin the ride and be safe!!!!

LG ( Luis )
