right on man, it almost look sand blasted in the pic you put up

 

normally ide just go out to my buddies shop and use his blaster, but Ive been stupid busy lately so i did it last night during dinner, and while i watched tv haha

i love sand blasters lol

 

rearsets are powder coated, one was a oem 600rr rearset, and i illiminated the pivot, so now they are both solid mount, also painted all the bolts gold

and my crg bar end mirrors, and oberon bar end siglans came in as well

 

sick... thats going to look so good when you get it on

 

thx con im really lookin forward to it

plan for tomorrow is to throw another good coat of high temp paint on the motor, as well as the other bits I painted

also going to spray the bottom triple, and neck area where its not polished

then re attach my rearsets

redrill my clip ons (mirrors didnt come with adapters, so i need to slide my grips and controls in a bit to accommodate)

and throw on the mirrors, and signals

then call it a night

 

I also got the fund last night to order my new headlight, so I did that as well, once its here I can finalize what I want to do for a headlight fairing

just a few pics of the projector ill be using

its bi-xenon hid, so I dont need 2 as it incorporates both high and low beam






i got it with 6000k hid (ultra white)
and a while halos

and I love the cut off lines of a projector

I will say im going to ditch the fender for a headlight housing, it just wasnt quite turning out how I wanted it to, but Ive already got another design in my head, I will probably make some sort of mock up out of posterboard this weekend

also I now have the scorpion up for sale, IMO it wouldnt have turned out how I wanted, so im selling it getting parts to make my own custom stainless exhaust set up

but for now im working on selling the scorpion

 

little progress last night, got another good coat of paint on the motor and other parts

got my clip ons redrilled, mounted my mirrors, and mostly got the rearsets back on

but then my wife had to go to her workout class, so I had to stop to watch my baby girl....

plan for tonight is get the signals mounted, and probably wired, and finish up the rearsets by re attaching the rear brake master

also in the next few weeks (after my new exhaust gets here, still working on selling the old one) my buddy that does my pc at his work said they had high temp pc, and asked if he could to my headers and mid pipe (i said forget the servo since im covering it anyway) so im pretty pumped to have those pcd

 

damn... sounds like you have the PC hookup. i wish i had a friend like that. do you still use your HTEV, or do you have it wired open or anything?

looks good. and this is just a curious question - how did you paint the motor without dropping it? did you just take everything else off and tape the frame/ other misc. stuff? either way, thats impressive.

 

Sooooooooooooooo work tonight that I got done

starting to look like a fighter



Mirrors and signals installed



little contrast

 

lol yea i love my buddy he hooks me up... and yea i still use the htev, bypassing it cost to much money for it to be worth it for me

I degreased the whole motor, went at it with a booth brush, then hosed it down

then used my steady hand to spray it, it any got on the frame, i stop spraying and wiped it off with my finger then continued, made sure to get in all the cracks and crevasse, it came out really good, must got to take your time, dupi colors new nozels make a very clean line when painting
