ITS FINISHED!!! (well sorta)

[climberfreak]

okay so i got my bike painted and the tail swap is pretty much complete

here are the final pictures

i painted it PZR with orange pearl mixed in i really like the way it looks . . . ill get some lake pics tomorrow

That looks really nice man![up] lets see a few day shots. Why you leave the swingarm and frame stickers on? Also the fork reflectors. That all comes off really easy and imo really cleans the look of the bike up.

Great look tho man[up] +1

 

[gbalias]

lookin good.

i have a question....you did all that work on it...whats the plan for the swingarm, frame, and header damage?


oh, can you also post some detail pics of how the fairing mounts attach to the bike for me?

thanks. and good work!

 

[Jornum1]

Looks great Climber, +1 on seeing some daytime pics.

Gbalias, are you talking about how the plasics bodywork mounts to the subframe? There are 5 mounting points, 3 on top, and two on the bottom. I have mine off now, I will try to get a pic for you.

 

[climberfreak]

thanks guys yea im going to the lake right now actually ill get them up shortly . . . buts as far as the header its getting replaced . . . crank case cover will get replaced . . . and the swing arm will either just get grinded down sanded primed and repainted or just a new one all together if one pops up

 

[Jornum1]

Are you going to put the chin fairing back on, or leave it naked? I took mine off to put my jardine on and left it off. I like the naked look better.

 

[GatorBuell]

Looks good. Need some day shots.

 

[climberfreak]

okay just got back from the lake

here they are enjoy

o and to answer the question about the chin fairing when all the other dmg happend to the bike the chin fairing was scared up pretty bad so thats taking longer to fix will be on shortly

 

[RHYNOXB9R]

hey climber,some frame pucks might hid some of that frame damage[smirk]

 

[RegulatorMIA]

looking amazing man glad to see its all coming together

Not seeing the orange pearl? Care to share your thoughts on the ride with an "R" rear end? I know it's gotta be different but: you Like...no like?

 

[climberfreak]

i know my friend has a much better camera and it showed up really well once he sends them to me ill get them posted up

but as far as the ride its nice feels a little sportier in my opinion . . . its nice when i hit the throttle my ass doesnt fly off the back of the seat lol

i do need some frame pucks and sliders now to protect all this lol

Hi, I know.. old topic, but I've seen some buells with this tail swap, I wonder if it's a handful work to do or if it's just to fit the fairing there.
I'd like to do that.
Does anyone know how?

 

[Stevenc150]

Vitor,

Here's his thread with progress pics: Putting R tail on Lightning

dameat, how's that sato rearset?

i'm going to order a rearset, but i'm still in doubt between the rizoma or the sato.

 

[dave_xb12r]

Sorry I don't mean to threadjack, but what is the advantage of an aftermarket rearset? Are they higher up than stock?

 

[chase12s]

nice bike dameat! very well done. i like.[cool]
