Painted mesh in cowl and behind seat - 4/14/2007 10:03:52 PM    wxgsr77 Posts: 59 Joined: 3/23/2007 Status: offline Just wanted to share some pictures of a mod I did last weekend. I wanted to change the colors of my 061kRR from black/silver to black/red. I took off the seat cowl and the rear plastics and used a Dremel to grind off the rivets and then painted the mesh with some spray paint and then clear coated it. I used a rivet gun to reattach the mesh to the plastic and then decided to install some 3 light LED strips behind the rear plastic mesh. It's nothing too exciting but it was my first mod to this bike and I had a lot of fun doing it. Enjoy! _____________________________ 06' CBR1000RR, Black Mods: BMC Filters,Proton flush mount, Flapper mod, Pitbull spools/swing arm sliders, Competition werkes fender elim/rear turn signals, Puig windscreen, rim tape Post #: 1

I've seen ones like it on eBay though. If you do decide to get one and do what I did make sure when you take the rivets off you don't get the plastic too hot so that it melts around the rivets, I almost had a big problem! _____________________________ 06' CBR1000RR, Black Mods: BMC Filters,Proton flush mount, Flapper mod, Pitbull spools/swing arm sliders, Competition werkes fender elim/rear turn signals, Puig windscreen, rim tape (in reply to hwells) Post #: 5

For future reference, the best way to remove rivets is by drilling them out. _____________________________ (in reply to wxgsr77) Post #: 6
