Self-indulgent-new-thread-post cos its the first time theyve both been outside at the same time, so sue me.

Notice the made-from-wheelchair-seat errr seat back thingy and my modified exhaust hangers thanks to d-rider ridiculing the pillion pegs on a track bike

Took me sodding ages to cut them out dammit.

May refit top fairing at some point, falco or rsv cant decide.

Wow - the road bike has no zorsts!!

They look good Pierre. Didn't I see a pic of one of yours with a homemade twin mini headlight fairing look going on ?

Yea, but I had a couple of telling off's and also got caught out in the dark once and couldnt see the front mudguard nevermind the road

And you can see 1 exhaust sticking out the back, the other can only be seen from the right side of bike in the bellypan

What ? that metal thing between the rear lights ? I thought that was a bottle opener

Like the twin better it looks dangerous

Is that the Falco/Mille hybrid?

I'd paint it black and yellow, it'd look really aggressive then

Presuming you're not thinking that one of them's an I4, both have twin exhausts ..... just the track bike has identical twins whereas the road bike has some radically different fraternal twins.

Do you mean a pair of shite shotguns on the road bike?

As Pierre says above ..... there's the one sticking out of the tail section (you can see that one in the picture) .... the other is contained within the bellypan.

Certainly not a pair of shotguns.

(Mind you, I do have the advantage that I have seen this beast though)

^^^^^okok so they removed the old pictures and i forgot to dload them

Well , I've just got back from cadwell after dropping my bike off for shipping, having only finished painting it yesterday morning

Pretty good match, but i didnt prepare it very well as i was short of time so the finish is good but the detail is bad, although you cant really tell from the photo

<clicky

Kawasaki candy apple red, with a mettalic silver undercoat and clear laquer finish. Paint mixer bloke said red colour was actually an ink added to paint thats why it was £40 1/2ltr

I''ll get proper photos before i convert it to scrap

Looks good for a redun!

I thought you were putting a new swingarm on it?

Fausto · #13 Post by **Fausto** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 6:03 pm

Nice. Certainly better than the Aprilia red but don't tell Kwackerz.

I sat there last night when it was posted, umming and aaahing about that colour. Real Kwacks are Green (Or Blue and Silver...)

Bravo! Youve made your Falco look like an ER5.

Just joking. it looks brill.

Pierre · #15 Post by **Pierre** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 10:21 pm

ehh? I havent painted the tank or the front mudguard, I just tried to colour match them. But thanks to the ones who made complements (the swingarm is on my spare frame bigun)

They only had plain aprilia scooter colours or harley davidson mettalic red was a close one , when i say close i mean CLOSE TO GETTING HIS CHEEKY FACE SLAPPED, harley fking davison my arse. Wouldve halved my top speed

Anyway , its gone now

<clicky for blurry front view showing bad colour match to mudguard, but tis near enough

Wont see it again until the 19th

edit: think the colours from a zx7r @ 1998 if i remember? when they used to do solid colours? j1 and j2 model maybe?
