Neill666 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 My Harris Gsxr ripped apart ready to get paint n polish trying to do most of the work myself but my powder coating oven just ain't big enough for my frame , took bodywork to a local painter for a quote and nearly fell off my fukkin feet when he quoted 725 quid for tank,seat and muddy in a single colour Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Ah yes the natural state of most Harris's. in bits all ovr the garage, well mine is anyway 3 Quote
bluedog59 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 It's all in the prep with paintwork. If you take your time you can get very good results with rattle cans. And if it comes out crap, you've not wasted much cash. Quote
Neill666 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Tried painting before and got all the stuff,spray gun,compressor etc just lacking patience and a good eye but I'm gonna be more patient this time not even considering paint till I'm 100% happy with the prep Quote
mick-ne Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Where are you based Neil I got a good mate whos real sensible I'm N.E Quote

Neill666 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Not fully decided on colour yet coz I'm a fickle fukker but either a dark metallic gun metal grey or if the quality is good possibly red chrome vinyl wrap Quote
busa ash Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Getting there, be nice too see this up and running Edited February 27, 2016 by busa ash Quote
grebo Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Looking at engine mounts ,looks like engine is hung direct off top rear, front mounts extended backward, then fixed lower left and bracket lower right in the two tapped bosses. When its hung like this have the headers on exhaust needed extensions or just standard fitment. also is the fixed lower bracket standard or has that also been modded Could you put a picture of front engine mount extension please ........Cheers Quote
grebo Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks Neil, pictures say more than words , that has helped me Cheers Quote
