Recommended Posts

probably the same mods you would have to do to fit it to a watercooled, Obviously the airbox has to go as for any other mods who knows, this looks like a one off you'll have to make mods as you go along

Damn near fits. I'm gonna have to modify the location of the subframe mounts that I made, and I'm gonna make some pieces to shape the frame to match the tank but aside from those two quick things, it's a success. 

Whoever gelcoated and painted this is nuts. I'm stripping all the crap, loading it with redkote sealant inside to make sure there's no leakies, then slamming it with clearcoat and a good buff. 

My friend who makes the tail that is in the pic is getting an email to see if he'll remake it for me in carbon fiber to match. 

I'm almost to the time when the frame, forks and swinger can go out for powdercoat.

Carbon's weave is better looking than the  original paint that's for sure !  Good work, it's definitely worth it.

Thanks. It's been messy and my shop needs a major cleanup but that's OK.

looking good - how do you strip the paint ?

Orbital sander w/120 grit, wet sand 120 grit foam block, wet sand 320 grit paper, 800 paper.
