You have been busy. I really like the color combination on your bike. I think I want some new levers next.

So, are those Levers hard to install?
I like the PC touches through out the bike. Especially like the way you did the rims. Looks great!

Stockrocket, your bike looks great. I have never seen a tribal colored red and I can say I think it's one of a kind. Looks truly unique. Excellent job.
Pazzo shorty levers are what I put on my bike. You can get them for $160 for the pair at motomummy.com (w/free gel grips any color) or on ebay.

Thanks for the comments, the tribal was kind of a pain....actually had to order it in silver and then took it to a decal shop and had them remake it in the red...which was kind of a b**** to try and match to the anodized red PC. Levers are like the easiest thing to install on a bike...1 bolt and connecting the clutch cable and its done. Ya, I found out about the Pazzo levers which look exactly the same as the ones I got (+cheaper)....AFTER I had already ordered mine. Was kinda bummed but its all good, only like a $50 or so difference, win some ya loose some

. After some small carbon fiber additions and a GPR stabilizer i think im finished cosmetically....
JfunkRR, I remember you were workin on some paint redoing your swingarm too... cant wait to see some of your pics

Bike's looking great bro

. You've done the right color accents in the right places without overdoing it...that's a fine line to straddle sometimes.
She's looking sick...get out there and ride that sucker

I got the parts back at the end of last week, but I had a busy weekend so I wasn't able to get to my local Honda dealer to get the one bearing we destroyed and new dust seals. Me and my boy are gonna try to re-pack and press the bearings back in Wednesday after work. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be able to get the swing arm back in. The pc wasn't as flat as I had anticipated...it doesn't exactly match the frame but it still should look good. For $100 for the whole job I can't complain. I'll get some pics up next week.
I also got new pazzo shorties, wave rotors, stainless steel brake lines and swing arm spools coming in the mail today or tomorrow. New tires and carbon fiber body work next.
Check out feathercarbon.com for carbon fiber.

Your bike looks real sweet, with the red tribal! I'm hoping that next winter I can make a few changes to mine!

I love the two tone on the rims! I also like the red tribal...
But if it were my bike, I would have made the rearsets black (front and rear). I also wouldn't have made the rotors red- it takes away from the wheels being two toned. Just my opinion.
I still think the bike looks sharp.I am guessing that it is even more impressive in person.

Thanks, I actually had the rotors and sprocket done back in decemberish... and just recently got the rotors and swingarm done. In hinde sight I may have done a thing or two slightly different. But nothing I cant change in future projects, but for now I think Im just gonna enjoy the great weather we have been having.
