: Fresh Paint!
Bergster 06-13-2008, 02:05 PM Just picked up all my non-black plastics from the paint shop! Went with pearl black to finish up my uber-blacked out Raven. If only Yamaha would make truly blacked out ravens I would have saved lots of $$ (can't stand the slate gray fairings on the raven). Only things left that aren't pearled are my kickstand, radiator tube, and shift rod. Will post beauty shots after I put her back together and it stops pouring rain. :toocool:

Noleman 06-14-2008, 11:09 AM Really nice bro. Don't foreget to do the rear master cyl.
DeckerR6 06-14-2008, 11:55 AM You have a rear seat cowling, to you have passengers? If not lose the p pegs. Have anyone given you s**t about the license plate location? I have the same setup and got stopped twice for speeding and the cops didn't say anything about it. Sweet bike.
R6zor 06-14-2008, 12:04 PM what kind of $$$ did you have to pay for the amount of painting you've had done? I'm in the same boat...When i look at mine and see those dull ass side fairings slice through all the shiny of the top and bottom fairings...I'm starting to want the same (on the side fairings at a minimum).
You had any problems with the cops an the lights. mine are the same way...I took some NightShades and put about 2-3 coats and a few coats of acrylic enamel. Definately have to run with the brights on now.
Beautifull bike by the way.

I was recommended to this latino body shop by a fellow rider and got the hook up on prices, as long as I paid cash only. The shop did my entire bike and all the accessories for $250 cash, would have easily spent $800-$1000 for the same quality at another shop.
As far as cops go, they haven't said a thing to me about the headlights, plate location, no mirrors, etc. I got pulled over about a month ago and the cop just chatted away with me about his GSXR 1000 and let me walk.
Catch 06-14-2008, 03:09 PM subtle, but very nice! i love the air duct covers painted!!! the only part i would have left woudl be the tire hugger i think
but overall, very nice!
bad @$$ looking bike man!! how are you liking the yosh? is it a slip-on? ooh ooh, and what's on your lites to make em looked smoked? thanks..
oarce_r6s 06-14-2008, 09:06 PM Paint the fairing bolts black. That should get you one step closer to your raven!
I like the mohawk and the scorpion helmet!
PinstripeMonkey 06-14-2008, 09:48 PM We should get together and ride some time. Do you ever make it to any of the bike nights in NW Arkansas? Ever ride out to Eureka Springs?
tripp 06-14-2008, 10:30 PM ^ +1. i go up to sportbike night at pig trail harley in rogers every wednesday night i get the chance, usually a few hundred bikes at least, free food, drinks, that type of stuff. eureka is good, along with 71b between fay. and alma, there's others around, someone shoot me a pm if yall wanna go for a ride.

Pinstripe and Tripp - We deffinately should schedule a ride, I'm off on weekends and I'm always ready to ride somewhere. I was supposed to go to Hallet today for the open track day but spent all my extra cash on the paint. I usually to go to Eureka Springs about 4-5 times a month, usually every Saturday. I know so many routes to Eureka it's not even funny! The "moderator" of our group that scheduled our rides sold his R1 yesterday so I don't have a riding group anymore. I need to go to some bike nights to network and find some more people to ride with.
I never make it to the pig trail/harley bike nights though cuz I bowl in a summer league on Wed. nights. I usually make it over there once or twice a summer. Shoot me an email when you want to ride: bryabergy@yahoo.com
ADRENALINE RUSH 06-15-2008, 02:12 PM beautiful!!!!!!!!! awsome job, i love it....
Insaneman1731 06-15-2008, 07:29 PM Awesome looking bike, really like the all blacked out ones. If you don't mind me asking, what did you mount your tag to? Thanks.
t1g3ras0 06-15-2008, 08:16 PM SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKK:werd
Shay1180 06-15-2008, 10:04 PM New bike bro, where did you get your front brake reservoir cover, and also who did your headlights?
machinedoc 06-16-2008, 12:28 AM New bike bro, where did you get your front brake reservoir cover, and also who did your headlights?
motomummy.com does the cover, but just buy any cotton wristband and it will cover it
GP1300R 06-16-2008, 06:39 AM sweet looking bike!!they did a good job on the paint,i cant believe they did it so cheap.
Bergster 06-16-2008, 07:32 AM New bike bro, where did you get your front brake reservoir cover, and also who did your headlights?
I ordered the headlight tint from stickercity.com (light smoke) for $30 or something.

If you have a 3rd gen R6, there are 2 plastic pop-out screws located on your undertail right in front of the shock. Pop the screws out, bend your plate a little, line your plate holes up, pop the screws back in = free nice looking eliminator.

I know!! He paints bikes cheap for now, he told me he is trying to build his rep in the bike scene, so for now he is doing it dirt cheap. I sent over 3 of my friends to get their bikes painted by him, so his rep is getting pretty good. I doubt he pays income taxes so thats why he cuts deals if you pay him cash. :lmao
Insaneman1731 06-16-2008, 07:39 AM I have a 2nd gen (03) R6. You don't know if it's something similar to mount the tag to by chance? And do you have any rear blinkers?
Mitujek 06-16-2008, 12:01 PM Hey where did you get those Stompgrip from? And how to they stick on?
Thanks.
