Love the satin paint job on the engine covers, swingarm, triples etc. Mind telling us more about the paint? (Brand, application type, etc) great work really enjoying your build!



I used those two spray cans. First i sand the part to make the surface smooth then two to three layers of the color 20 min between and for the end two layers of ral sprays for matte finish....

Hey everybody :) today i finised with wiring and put on the throttle body, filter box water radiator i also but the tail light...









i also came up with an idea of how i was going to lower my gauge because many have done it with similar way but not at an injection model which is a little bit different how this are behind the head light.... My idea is to use the to piece of metal that they go into the u bracket to support the gauges few modifications were necessary of course but i think it was worth it and this is the result....







after everything was fine i took the u bracket off so i can paint it of course, i will upload the final stage tomorrow :D

I think you have a great attitude about your project and it helps you create a very nice bike.
I enjoy watching your progress.

Very cool work with the best colors  [thumbsup]

You should slap some quick disconnects on those two fuel lines sticking out while it is apart.

Makes removing the tank so much easier.

Just a corel draw preview :) tha actual headlight should be here next week!!!!



p.s the size is mesured aprox because the angle of the two pictures are different also the blue blur in the headlight is from the bulb... :)

Metzis

Few more pics before the the first vrooooummmmm :) Also i decided that i didn't want the cheap danmoto exhaust on my new project so i will settle down with the original mufflers for now. Custom full exhaust is on the way shortly but i have to settle my debt to the guy who did the painting job first :) So....

You have to watch with those quick disconnects that you don't kink the fuel lines.  You will restrict the fuel flow.  You will probably have to re-route the fuel lines.

No re-route.

Just take them right above the clutch like stock.

i think in order to place the quick release fuel plug i going to shorten the fuel lines 4-5 cm....
Today i receive the head light after few minutes i figure out a way to mount it on the bike properly because it didn't have nuts in the upper holes... So!!!







what you think?
