We can rebuild her— we have the technology

So, here she is!

Linear side shot:

Why yes, those R6 pegs are powder coated Yamaha Reflex Blue:

And the rear, LED fender eliminator and new rear tire:

Black powder coated front forks and new front tire:

Yamaha logo on my brake master cylinder:

Just for some giggles:

And the old forks (may they rest in peace):

Some other little things I did:

• Painted the radiator guards black
• Blue reflective wheel stripes
• Yamaha logo oil cap
• Extended CF look Frame Sliders

Still left to do:

• Pazzo knock off levers (Not in from Hong Kong yet)
• Swing arm decal (haven't prdered it yet but will)
• Hyper LED Angel Eye kit (This week )
• Reinstall rear pegs (Brother is powder coating them today to match the front pegs)
• Radiator Guard (The EvoTech wont fit... Trying to locate an alternative)
• Apply Decepticon logos (have them in hand, just debating on location placement)

I used the ProTech kit that came with the little plastic applicator. The key was leaving the wheels on the bike and having a buddy turn the wheels VERY slowly while I held the plastic applicator in place with one hand and followed the strip very closely with my other thump using heavy pressure to prevent air bubble from even getting the chance to form. Slow, steady, and constant pressure. Take. Your. Time.

Paint wise on the radiator guards I used Rust-Oleum Specialty High Heat Ultra rated for 1200 degrees. Semi-gloss. They key there was cleaning down to the bare metal (no rust, corrosion, etc) and using VERY light coats (to the point it barely looks like any paint is even sticking), letting it dry an hour before applying the next layer. 5 layers or so. Again, take your time.

Almighty, after some tweaking, I got the radiator cover to work. I used to brackets bolted to it to line up with the top mounting points. Due to the upper fairing, the bolts are not even visible unless you are on your hands and knees looking up
