ok so i have been going crazy in my spare time trying to figure out paint at first i was like ok ill copy the paint that was on the bike when i got it just change the gold (not a fan of gold) so i went down to the local auto body paint supply store and picked out my colors. hyundai phantom black and vauxhal copper red mica. so i got all the stuf went home and started preping and painted my front yamaha r6 fender. yes theres some runs in the clear nothing some wet sanding cant fix
than i was like it looks cool but its just not the style i want it looks to 80's and stock IMO.
so i sanded it down and i was walking around walmart and just happened to walk by the paint section when something caught my eye. im an airplane fanatic and i love history and WW2 so i was like it would be cool to give it a WW2 plane theme. so heres my progress dont mind the fron fender its not done imo it looks to plane. also i have a friend who works on aircraft so hes gonna get me some decals . like jet fuel only, caution hot exhaust stuff like that. and i have also ordered some pin up girl decals like a girl wearing almost nothing sitting on a bomb that sorta thing.

Hart, did you put the front end/GSXR 1000 rear on the bike? If so, how did you get the wheel centered on the bike and sprockets to line up? Did you use the R6 stem/steering bearings to get the triples mounted?
