CBRF2Old · 09-10-2010, 08:53 PM

That looks very nice with the wheels done!

steven32 · 09-10-2010, 09:05 PM

wow that bike looks amazing!

BeckadarO · 09-10-2010, 11:48 PM

Thanks CBRF2Old and steven32, I'm loving the new wheel color more and more. Now I just have to save for those other little things to finish it off, but the most important thing of all

IT RUNS GREAT NOW thanks to Lee at Cyclone Cycles

BeckadarO · 12-26-2010, 04:33 PM

Scooterholic finished painting my mirrors for me. I just need to find some spacers so I can mount them or some rubber that I can cut to fit. Now to fix the front flaring it has a couple dimples where the windshield screws sunk in. Then I'm ready for good weather

BeckadarO · 12-26-2010, 05:21 PM

Here are the rest of the parts that got painted last weekend.
1.side frame fillers
2. chain guard
3. mirrors
4. coolant reserve cover, we painted the letters with the body color just to add some contrast

BeckadarO · 01-02-2011, 06:44 PM

Got everything put back on the bike except the chain guard. Doing that this week.

2wheelsdown · 01-02-2011, 08:58 PM

That bike looks sweet. Nice job on the paint. Who did it?

Showroom quality that thing, So once we go to bike night you can be like that one bike that came with all chrome and neons lol.

BeckadarO · 01-03-2011, 06:10 AM

Thanks, and no more chrome I have enough on the cruizer LOL

Sounds like it is time to bust out some sand paper and elbow grease to polish then.

No elbow grease I would use the D/A LOL I work smarter not harder plus Scooterholic is free labor

BeckadarO · 01-03-2011, 07:50 PM

woo hoo I just talked to scooterholic and next winter I'm going to polish my frame. I think it would just finish the look (along with a few other things) bad news he just told me what it takes to do it but if next winter is like this winter it will be long and crappy weather so it should keep me out of trouble LOL

lil_schmitty · 01-03-2011, 10:06 PM

lol.. send scooterholic my apologies for the suggestion.

It's all good, I think the frame would look better polished to.

Dwarrior62 · 01-20-2011, 07:36 PM

The bike looks great. Can't wait for spring to get here so we can get back to doing some group rides!!!

I was thinking to myself "she should have powdercoated that frame while the bike was apart". Dont get me wrong Jeran has pulled a 10/10 in my book on that R6. Just looking at it it needs to be relieved of its silver.. Chrome, metal, aluminum... ALL of it powdercoated black.
When got my R1 the rearsets stuckout like a sore thumb. I love the black ones.
The bike looks amazing it would be an 11/10 with a powdercoated frame/swingarm.

Sergie... We need your help brother. Can we use your PhotoShop expertise? Will you find a side pic of the R6 that you deem worthy for this demonstration. Make a rendering of it with a polished/chromed frame and swingarm and a separate rendering of it with the frame/swingarm powdercoated black. That would be much appreciated

I plan on eventually replacing the rearsets, brake and clutch levers with black. I thought about having the frame powdercoated when it was apart but it all came down to $$$$$, but it's something to consider in the future

Heck yeah if someone with ninja skills with photoshop has the time I'd love to see it all tricked out with black acents

steven32 · 01-20-2011, 08:52 PM

sorta

RedStar · 01-20-2011, 08:56 PM

not the best with photoshop, but it was my attempt.

Mikey · 01-20-2011, 08:58 PM

Damn thats pretty good Sergie!! Sorry steven but yours was kinda weak sauce...j/k lol

BeckadarO · 01-20-2011, 09:00 PM

Thanks Steven and Sergie!!

I think I like the black frame and swing arm better than the chrome now I just have to come up with the $$ LOL so it will have to stay as is for a little while longer.

r1bran · 01-20-2011, 09:12 PM

I don't know why but I've always loved high mount exhausts like that.

I totally agree with you on the black.

I kinda feel like I was being disrespectful by suggesting that you paint your bike a certain way and I basically started a poll on someone elses bike. Im sorry for that and dont mean any disrespect. The bike looks great and you should be very proud of it. My suggestions were for when you decided to move forward and either powdercoat or chrome those parts which direction I think you should go. I hope thats what I conveyed and not that I think your bikeis inferior in any way. I know you both have worked very hard on the bikes and they look great.
I dont want one of you guys coming one street over and keying my car. LOL Gotta stay on good terms with my neighbors. Dont want to offend anyone that can retaliate in 5 min or less! LOL

e11charlie · 01-20-2011, 09:43 PM

Jesus steven that thing would take a lot of polishing. End up like that guy from Lady in the Water.

Pimpit · 01-20-2011, 09:44 PM

Forgot the subframe and passenger pegs

No offence taken, it's a great idea. You weren't being disrespectful just voicing your opinion and there's nothing wrong with that. By the way keying is so last week I'll just come over in the middle of the night, take your car completely apart and leave the parts in your yard. J/K

Want to come do that to my gsxr? I would love to paint my frame black lol.
