house Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Here I go again. My PPower 2CTs got here last week, and my rims showed up last week for the front and this week for the rear. It seems like I have been waitin for ever (those of you that have been around know how bad I wanted a set of black rims... well I finally broke down and just bought them.) This will allow me to have commuting tires and fun tires for the weekends. Add a Pit Bull and I'm ready for just about anything (as soon as I get another set of rotors.) Anyway, check it out. I LOVE the black, but your comments are welcome either way. Thanks again Joe for hooking me up!!!! A whole lotta black Soon to be track/GA mountain tires and rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Chev Posted April 16, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2007 That is a damn sexy black VFR. I may even like it more than a blacked out Asphault. Have you thought about getting an Interceptor decal that matches you Honda decal in color for the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFRiderGal Posted April 16, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2007 I am TOTALLY diggin' on the all black! Super fly! :thumbsup: Now, how about a black frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-Oz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice blackness. Sort of a "Disaster Area" feel to it. (google for reference). Maybe paint the rads black? hmmm, black frame, black hub and sprocket, black triple tree, black clutch and brake fluid res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 I am TOTALLY diggin' on the all black! Super fly! :thumbsup:Now, how about a black frame? Not till I get my second bike. I try to ride every day to work and back (65 miles) and get grumpy when I have to take my car. I ride year round, so till I have anothe bike, the frame and swingarm will have to stay silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of th reasons I like the gloss black blackout, is that I don't think the frame should be blacked out. It blends in things like the swingarm, radiators, forklegs.

That's a chop I did way back there. I don't think I'll ever get to paint the frame either. Once you paint the frame then you'll have to paint the valve covers and head that shows too.

I think you would have to talk to a custom graphic shop. I've never done anything with it myself, but I'm sure it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Growler67 Posted April 16, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2007 Not anywhere near as stealthy, but here's mine. My little spoiler for that extra bit of downforce :thumbsup: Close up of the extar turn signals (euro-touch) Rolled 39,600 on todays ride of just over 150 miles. I love the new Z6 on the rear. Though I'm missing it's perkiness on the bottom end (replaced the 15 with the OEM 16 front sprocket), I'm digging the new mid range and the even newer top end (replaced the OEM 43 with a 45 rear sprocket). Longer legs, better fuel mileage, and a top end I've never had since I've owned it. It was a good day indeed :salesman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Chev Posted April 17, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2007 Very nice. Ohhhh, daytime pics Holy Chicken Strip, Batman! :goofy: I know you've only barely scrubbed in the tires, but you should have zeroed your gauge before the pic. :salesman: No one would have figured it out. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Nice looking bikes, guys. If you're going to go ALL OUT in one color black is probably best. I can't picture an all red, all blue, etc. bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrjim2002 Posted April 17, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) Just need to paint the frame, swingarm, fork legs, and get a dark smoke windscreen... This? That's a chop I did way back there. I don't think I'll ever get to paint the frame either. Once you paint the frame then you'll have to paint the valve covers and head that shows too. All you need to do then is paint those two pie plates hanging off the front wheel and the single on the back and you'll be invisible.

No aftermarket black/smoke ones? :unsure: Those (and my jacket) are the only way you can see me everything else has "stealth" black on it. Seriously, I worry that if i ditch those, it will be too hard to see me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
