I like the idea of it. My bike says 600rr on it enough, i don't know if id advertise the logo more...plus i hate chrome. But if i had to choose i like the black 600rr design better. Don't look bad on your bike though :thumbup:

So I just installed the first round of powder coated parts.
My Yoshi RS-5, Yoshi Bracket, and heat shield. Since the attaching hardware for the heat shield isn't done yet I didn't get to install that yet.
Here's the Yoshi:
And here she is installed:
I had the exhaust powder coated in a heat resistant ceramic powder that can survive the heat.
And the bracket in a semi-gloss black. Personally I really like the contrast.
Yeah I need to bust out my heat gun and take care of those.
As for the subframe, and the swing arm. I'm eventually going to get them powder coated it just sucks I'm in San Diego and don't have a winter off season to break her down.
I PC'd my gas cap, turned out amazing and cheaper than an aftermarket. I'm using my iPhone so I don't know if this link will post but check it out. It's a how to remove found it on YouTube. It shows how to remove those gaskets.

Yeah if you do go through with it I would say the most important part it covering the gas tank hole. I simply used a piece of cardboard b/c you will remove a couple screws that you don't want to lose in the tank.
For future reference for you guys. If you lower your Yoshi RS-5 with the TripageLED kit and buy the TripageLED fender eliminator with the LED tire Hugger. The plate bracket rubs on the mid pipe and angles the plate downward to where you'll probably get pulled over for it not being visible.
So I'm going the DIY route tomorrow. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
As I said earlier the Tripage FE wasn't working with the Yoshi lowering kit. So I went the DIY route.
I took the Tripage FE and cut it through the left side plate mounting hole.
Installed it in the normal fashion, I did have to bend it a little, nothing crazy. And drill a new hole to mount the plate.
Then I had to secure the right side of the plate. I headed to Lowe's and bought a 1.5" diameter Galvanized Pipe Hanger
I cut it to length, spray painted it black with some high heat caliper paint.
It mounts around the mid pipe and the plate attaches to the hanger through the bottom holes on the plate. I'm going to get a piece of small plastic tubing slice it along one end and slip onto the bottom of the plate so it doesn't damage the tire hugger. I'll be epoxying that to the plate.
