So I got bored and decided to do a face lift and try for the upcoming BOTM again. As most dont know (haha) this is what my bike before and went for BOTM.



So ive been tinkering around with a lot of new designs, concepts and colors. Red will always be a part of my bike. So with much brain storming I opped to get new parts and and paint scheme. and came up with a new face lift with some new goodies. This whole project has been nothing but a waiting game and a lot of time of special ordering.... there was a lot of down time in between here and there. But it was well worth it.

Thus: PROJECT Dapper.

So while I had the bike naked I went a head and replaced my spark plugs


Old vs new. Bike only has 19K but I figure it was a good time to do so.

and also replace my fork seals as they were leaking.



and also replaced all the fulids in the bike as well


So i picked up a few goodies, some new levers RC2's


some new Clips ons

After a lot of searching and help from Moeman, and (Two months later) i had a company called street-fighter in italy make me a custom set of twill CF frame covers and swing arms covers



It was a nice LONG waiting game for these. The company had a hicup which is why it took a while for my pieces to come in. Tom the owner of the shop didnt like how the resin turned out and e-mailed me right away. Thier communication was on point he kept me updated and answered any queations in a timely manner. He didnt want anything less than perfect coming out of his shop so I was real happy with the outcome of the CF covers even though the wait was just over 2 months.

Traveling back into time......I went to the drawing board and wanted to create a custom look, but at the same time something that no one has out there, but still flowed with the lines of the RR. so i started to draw on paper. took me about 5 hrs to figure out how i wanted it and when it came down to taping it off i wasnt happy still. i tweaked it a bit here and there

I went with a Custom made Grey color and a Custom Red color scheme.

I called it quits for a bit, taping off lines and what not makes me go cross eye'd and im ****** enough as it is.


But on a good note i went and picked up some goodies



And straight to the Powder coater's they went.

As most if you know when yo spray red, you gotta spray a white base coat to make it really pop! Called it a day when the last coat of red was put on.

straight to my buddies pad to get my tires mounted and bal. and i must say! they're looking great!!!

so in the process of doing a dual colors you'll get a lip in between the two colors when you spray the clear. its something that has always bugged me so I made sure to sand down the clear an bury it again with another round of clear.

Heres a shot and sneak peak of the first round of clear before I sanded to bury it

and here are a few pieces and again a sneak peak that i started sanding and prepping to go round 2 to bury the clear. and make everything SMOOTH as glass





And back into the booth, everything for round 2 of some FINE European Glamor clear.




SMOOTH AS GLASS when it dries
