Starting tomorrow i may get in the garage and rip the bike apart.. Yes, i will remove the stickers on the swing arm too.. It looks like shit, i agree lol.. I am aiming to finally get around to upgrading my brakes. Only had all the stuff for well over a month lol..

Got a few moments, pulled off the fairings and was too lazy to pull the actual engine covers off the bike. So i sanded and painted them on the bike. Did not want to have to buy new gaskets, and all new motor/trans oil just b/c of this lil project.. Came out great, next up is the swing arm. Can't wait!

Found the closest paint to match the flat black frame..

Also bought a lowering link to slam it 3 inches in hopes to keep the wheel down a bit when i hit the drag strip again.. Last time it pulled wheel way too much and i know it ruined my times.

Did my gas cap and my rear tire hugger today.

Two shots with my stang, cleaned her up today for the first time in a while. The damn brembos make my front rims completely black.. lol

My girlfriend got me an early xmas gift since she just left to NC. So legit

 

[RetroGT2006]

Had to do a little reppin .. As for mods for either vehicle, i have not done anything in a while..

gotta bump this back up,

When i got in my accident a little bit ago one of the covers got rashed so I need to sand it down now and deffs repaint them...

What kind of paint did you use? and did you use any primer or did you just sand it down then spray the paint?

Sucks to hear you went down bro, u alright? I did not use primer, I sanded it real nice and hit it with this stuff..

 

[BLKBULLITT]

sweet thanks man.

Yeah im all good, wore my gear so it absorbed most of the impact... Need to get pants though rashed up my knee a little bit... Bike just slid and would of been fine if the back end didnt smash a curb lol

Really wish I had frame sliders would have saved a lot of troubles!

 

[RetroGT2006]

Well here were two last shots i ever took of my 06 600rr <3 Loved that thing, ran strong as hell when i sold her last night... 17,600 miles of good times!

On to the new beast, worked up a deal today and took her home! 2012 20th Anniversary CBR1000rr .

 

[BLKBULLITT]

crazy dude... congrats...

Seriously though... Wear your gear bro skin comes off pretty easily... I was wearing my gear when I went down and still managed to rash up my knee

 

[RetroGT2006]

Well see I didn't actually think the deal was going to happen.. so I didn't exactly dress for the occasion.

^Well, your buddy doesnt have an excuse! I see he's wearing shorts too!

Nice looking bike. Your old one looked identical to mine. I may be getting a new one myself. Fell in love with a new white gsxr750 the other day..Not sure if I want a gsxr though - i loved my Honda

Hah yeah bro I've seen a bunch of friends go down at anywhere from 10mph-120 and it's never pretty... Anyhow yeah I never ride like this, to me it's uncomfortable to ride in shorts n what not. Plus I feel less confident.

Haha yeah he doesn't listen.. Anyhow I personally hate gsxrs and the new Honda rides better than them all. Trust me, my close friends ride a 2012 r1, 2011 zx10r, 09 600rr- and 07 zx6r, 08gsxr600, 2009 r6, and an 08 r1 which I have rode all of them and the Honda takes the cake.. My buddy even said it rode smoother than his brand new zx10r. So it's not just in my head.
