Wow! Love the flat black. Stealthy! | ||
| Syonyk |
I'd call it a satin black... still looks amazing  | ||
| Bigschwerm |
Looks awesome! | ||
| Mountainstorm |
Wow. that's a lot of little details that all combine to make a great custom. The work you put in is evident. | ||
| Metalrabbit |
Wow, A J-B WELD Frame & Swingarm,,Cool. just kidding,, I like the satin black look too. | ||
| Jetbuilder |
Can you tell us what you did? For example what fairings used? Did you paint the frame or are they covered? Etc: Thanks Nice job by the way | ||
| Marines07 |
thanks guys... It took, I would say, maybe 10-12 hrs, the hardest thing was wrapping those dang pipes, I never want to wrap pipes again!!! | ||
| Marines07 |
Jetbuilder... I used the catalyst composite fairings and the flexi-glass front fender... I did not paint the frame, I actually used Ilmberger's carbon fiber frame/swingarm covers... I had to make a total of 4 brackets out of stainless steel, and just mounted them to where I thought was the safest spots. I wrapped the pipes so there wouldnt be any chance of the fairing's melting and i also used this thermotech stuff the sticks onto the side of the fairings to reflect radiant heat.... | ||

What do you think of the windscreen? I'm thinking of an aftermarket unit for better wind protection. | ||
| Marines07 |
Thefleshrocket: To be completely honest, i love the double bubble windscreen... ive notice when Im on the highway the wind protection is great, i love it, and I think it looks better as well. | ||

I love the satin black. Just my personal opinion but I would have left the carbon frame covers off and I personally don't like the look of the double bubble windshield, but all in all the bike looks great. Did you do the paint yourself or did you have it done at a paint shop? | ||

Is the muffler in contact with the fairing? Just wondering if that is going to make a wear mark on the can over time. I would not have guessed the frame was covered in CF, it looks just like paint in your pics. How about a close up of that Ilmberger goodness? Looks good. | ||
| Pdawg1970 |
very, very nice! | ||
| Cherry_bomb |
sweet! | ||

The exhaust can in not in contact with the fairing, its is pretty darn close but we managed to make sure it was touching... Its been pretty hot here and I have been driving this thing pretty hard and so far not one blemish has appeared from over heating... I'll get some pics of the CF later on once it clears up | ||
| Buellfreak |
looks nice, but how did you get the plastics to a "satin black" | ||
| Dktechguy112 |
that looks amazing, the carbon fiber with the satin black is an awesome combo. | ||
| Jdugger |
Nice work. Now, get out there and get the chicken breasts off those tires. | ||
| Koji52 |
That looks f'ing awesome! |
