Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted January 25, 2010 Forum CEO Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have some damage to the tank and plastics, the front cowl is just wind blown and lost its luster, missing a chunk, the side fairings are cracked from a crash this last summer. I will proabably just repair the parts and have it painted. I have a set of new wheels I will get powder coated white. Red and white bike with a white racing stripe down the middle. Maybe a vfrd graphic on the side fairing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well, there's a handful of members here that paint - how about you do the prep work then take a ride somewhere for a clean & spray? :warranty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The one bike I keep kicking myself in the ass for not buying one when I had the coins. BTW - I appreciate the pic, it will be a great help in installing the SP-2 front end on my VFR. now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

melvis Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm going to weigh in with Dutchy - Tangerine is just off the hook! That said, a brilliant pearlescent white with silver accents and a red VFRD logo would be righteous as well - the red stripe, hmmm, dunno 'bout that. Beware the Maryland flat black Popo Patrol... :warranty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyrock Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Here's an Idea for you, find me a set of paint-able bodywork and what design & colors buy the materials and I'll shoot a set for you and we can slap it on in May! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soichiro Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just my opinion but I think a oroer VFR should be red, just like a proper Ferari is red. I couldnt do whit wheels. I would go wih gloss black powdercoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rivcyko Posted January 26, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted January 26, 2010 When you say, "Red and white bike with a white racing stripe down the middle.", I assume you are talking upper fairing, tank, and tale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted January 26, 2010 Author Forum CEO Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just my opinion but I think a oroer VFR should be red, just like a proper Ferari is red. I couldnt do whit wheels. I would go wih gloss black powdercoat. They say that if the first and last letter are correct anybody can read the words in a sentance. I am going to keep the Red, but instead of black trim on the honda wing, white, and white powder coated wheels. Somthing about white wheels I like. I have a second set now so I am gonna do it up. I found a good powder coater here in town. They also do paint so I might just have them do the whole thing. White racing stripe down the middle!

Member Contributer gmtech94 Posted January 26, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sounds good I would do the paint for you if I was closer .You might try adding another thin stripe along side of the middle stripe either white or contrasting colour to edge the larger stripe .Gold white ,black maybe .

But it's definetly going to look nice on my bike when finished.
