Member Contributer Silver#788 Posted April 4, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2007 So i got rid of the harely looking airbrushed crap. I really didnt hate it but It never did turn out how i had pictured in my mind. So what do you people think of the pearl white? Its a long ways from this I am still polishing things, swing arm, fork tubes, front rim and new 8 spoke rear rim. More pics to come as the bike starts to go back together. I am hoping to get it onto the dyno next week and get my PCIII tuned in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that ownes the dyno shop owed me money for IT work and the paint was instead of paying me cash. He paid less but I dont know what he paid. I just forgave a year old debt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer fallzboater Posted April 4, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2007 I liked the purple, but I'll be interested to see your "new" bike. Should look kewl. What are you doing with the wheels (please don't say chrome)? Teleskier's is the sweetest 5th gen I've seen so far; I hope you'll give him a run for his money. Does your dyno guy have the full Dynojet Tuning Link Center setup? My chipped and RSV-cammed Falco dynoed a bit rich last year, so I could probably gain a bit of power (and maybe better mileage) with a PCIII and the full meal deal.

Member Contributer keithbob Posted April 4, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2007 Nice look, George! It'll help loads on the dyno. :goofy: Seriously, that's gonna look great. Post another photo when it's asembled again. When is the dyno day happening? Can others of us tag along? Like David, I'd be interested in seeing if my PC map is close or needs more work. If he's not a DynoJet center, the place my brother works at up in Seattle is. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) So i got rid of the harely looking airbrushed crap. I really didnt hate it but It never did turn out how i had pictured in my mind.

More pics to come as the bike starts to go back together. I am hoping to get it onto the dyno next week and get my PCIII tuned in. Looking at the pics of your nicely painted fairing pieces gave me an idea for a suggestion. What if you paint the triangle under the windshield, all the way down to the pointed tip at the middle top of the headlight lens, a nice flat or satin black to give the front some accent. Otherwise the pearl white paint looks really classy. :thumbsup: Beck 95 VFR Edited April 4, 2007 by Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFRiderGal Posted April 4, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2007 That is a BEAUTIFUL color! A nice summer ray of sunshine beaming off will surely put us all in a trance! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
