Member Contributer Kel Posted October 26, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 26, 2010 More work today. I got the seat bolted down where it's supposed to go. The carbon really likes the clear coat. Shinny and deep. The rear turn signals and brake lights are on and functioning. I'm surprised how bright the LED's are. No wonder they're the future. Not totally sold on the front signals. They'll do for now. The seat is on but I'm no seat maker so it's just a temp. I'll make a better one in the spring. I really want to fire it up for it's first ride this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Kel Posted October 27, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 27, 2010 howz about a walkaround video? That would be groovy. For sure Timmy. When I get all the remaining, small pieces on, I'll do a walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great work Kel, I agree that there might be something better for the front signals, they look a little small and delicate compared to the rest of the bike, anyplace to mount some flush ones? That paint looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That paint looks amazing Thanks Matt. Yea, I'm not sure what to do for next season. The idea of putting them in the stock location was that I could take the fairing off without having to dick with the wires every time but I"m just not groovn' to where they are. I would certainly entertain the idea of some flush ones if I found the right pair. If they're too small or too flush, they don't really have a wide field of view for cager's from the front or slightly off to one side. We'll see, all I can think about now is pulling up the kick stand and letting the clutch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the wild west, they aren`t required so I finally decided not to use any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Kel Posted October 31, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 31, 2010 I don't believe it! I actually rode my bike!!! Man did it feel F'n good. It's not completely done but who cares, I had to ride it this year. Below 50 degrees but I didn't feel a thing! Here's a couple of shots from various angles just to hush the doubter's. It still looks some what like a VF1000R only better. VF1000R 2 VF1000R VF1000R 1 VF1000R 3 Did I mention I RODE MY BIKE!! WAHOOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 CBR 929/954 330mm front rotors, yes? Very, very, very nice, I'm jealous. I''m almost wishing I would have done a R/W/B scheme on mine, but it looks great also, so maybe I should just have two, one in each colour?? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
