I hit diesel on a roundabout 2 months ago and damaged some of the fairing so I thought I would paint the thing a dif colour.
Ive owned the bike from new in 2005 and it was originally blue but getting a bit bored with the colour and cant afford a new bike.
heres whats been done so far
started to take the plastics off.
I was getting a knocking noise from the forks so changed the head bearing, fork bushes and fork oil
old fork oil!!!
Plastics arrive back from body shop all new and shiny
Also had the holes for the indicators flushed to make way for the GSXR wing mirrors with indicators in them
Gonna start putting it all back together today…more pics to follow
nice job mate…love teh new colour!!
good pics too, glad yours is still alive and thumping…mine is veru very dead…

no mate, I didn’t go through the insurance as I didn’t hit anyone. Was only minor damage to the fairings
Nice paint work, diy or pro job?
