Default My FZ1 and a few hours work over a couple days

After thinking hard of going back to the fairing and headlights I decided to stay as it is. I did get a few things knocked out. The first was a WTF mistake.
After having my new perreli Angel ST's mounted I tried to remove the glue from the old weights. It was giving me a hard time so I put some acitone on a rag to remove it, well it worked too well. Took the black finish off the wheel.... Screw it. I took it all off the smooth outside part of the wheel, used some Mothers and Brasso and went two tone.

Then I decided to run with it. My shop made pipe was cool but it being all black made me wanna try something new. I took my stock, dented pipe, and cur it down 7 inches ( at the dent) and salveged one baffle I welded back in, shot the strap in high heat black & welded it back together, also shot my front lower forks in black gun epoxy. Minor changes but I like it as of now.
Hell it was raining alot anyway.
