Finally got my bike all back together after my lowside at Jennings GP New Years eve.
I wanted to go with stockish graphics so this is what i ended up with.
Here is how it was.

Nice job. Clean and Simple. Did you paint it yourself?

I sprayed everything in my buddy's garage on Monday. Prep work sucks. I still have a bit of colorsanding to do to get the orange peel out but I just wanna ride the damn thing. I used Spicy Orange Mica and Midnight Blue Metallic (Both are stock '03 Mazda colors that I've always liked). Painting is a lot of work.

The front fender is actually the same. I used the same color for the wings as was my last paint job. I also have another fender that is orange to see if I like that one better.

Looks fantastic man! You just putting the Honda wings on the tank and block letters at the bottom? Or leaving it clean?

the honda block letters at the bottm are a possible option, I aslo though about putting the cbr stickers on the nose again. But as for now, I think I'll leave it as is. It just looks so clean.

The graphics were painted on. I have a thing for not using stickers so I try to keep the use of vinyl down until necessary. Heres the whole album from about primer to finish. I don't have any pics of what the fairings used to look like since it was depressing to seem them after i crashed lol

That's pretty understandable. I know that if I was capable of repainting my whole bike, I'd be damn proud of it too! Btw, that's a nice album of the painting process. Did you just eyeball the yellow/black tank to get your stripes right, or did you do some sort of measuring?

We eyballed it. Main thing for the gas tank was that we need them to line up to the wings we set up on the side fairings that we eyeballed of another set of fairings I got sitting here.
