Silver frame looks badass!

Is that single stage or basecoat/clearcoat?

Thanks test.. It came out nice, and looks better then I thought it would. Just glad it's starting to go back together now..

The paint is Basecoat/Clearcoat.. 2 Coats Epoxy Primer(grey), 2 Coats Silver Metallic, 3 Coats of clear.

Test... Damnit man... How is it that I have not seen your paint scheme til now? I just say it in this thread... kzrider.com/forum/5-chassis/495794-swing...qs-function-or-looks

Had no idea you have a white strip down the center.. I just bought the paint for the 900 last week, blue and white, can you imagine what I was going to do? LOL

now what... hmmmm

the silver frame looks great. cant wait to see more.

Yeah, I guess if you hadn't seen the pictures of my body parts in the build thread, then all of those side shots would make it hard to tell that she's got a racing stripe. I had intended on getting some different angle shots this summer but the drought was so bad around here that I didn't want anyone to see all of the brown death around my bike.

Anyway, don't let my paint job scare you away from painting yours. Heck, I found out that another member had a similar job to mine after I had planned it. You just don't see him around much these days. Check out this page in my build thread: kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/340793-tes...d?limit=20&start=580

Third time's the charm.

Sounds like a threat to me, run Boostable!

Kinda does doesn't it... Does anyone know what happened to that other guy..

It very well may be... my blue is a bit lighter for sure, but I was thinking on doing a single offset strip on the right side, kinda like a euro strip. We shall see..

That's hilarious. I didn't even think how that sounded when I wrote it.

I like the idea of an offset stripe. I had considered that option as well.

Josh,

Read another 20 pages of your thread today, I think I am over half way now... Lol. Your gonna have to give me some info on the tail light setup, that is sweet!!!

frame looks neat!
i had to do the some reliefs in my tank for low offset/fat legged gsxr forks




keep up the good work

UF, bike looks good. Do you have a build thread going that I missed? I didn't do any reliefs on the tank, I just moved my stops in slightly. I dont think its enough to hurt the turn radius at all. (at least I hope not) lol..

Thanks,

Jack

Daughter snapped a few pictures today while I was doing some work in the garage.. figured I would post them..

No the turn radius is not a problem while riding. the only time its noticed is while turning around in tight areas , like the garage and what not.
The bike is looking good.

And here I have been envious of the nice, rounded tank on the 1000J as well as the early Z750 fours that you 'mercuns got

Ive got the same tank on my bike with an 08 gxr front end. turning isnt bad at all.our tank kinda xlopes back from the tripples.bike is looking sweet

Thanks guys.. I appreciate it. Coming along slow but sure!!
