tecnica -> Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/10/2008 6:29:21 PM)

Alright, Ive been waiting for some time to upload these pictures and expose my bike to the world of the interwebs. 

We will start with stock - standard silver/red 2000 F4.  Very good til I laid her down last fall (see my first post).

Let the modding begin. I stripped all the fairings off and they were sent to the paint both for my custom white finish. [image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/turboinduction/600F4/DSC00526.jpg[/image] [image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/turboinduction/600F4/DSC00527.jpg[/image]  

We (myself and friends) were working on all of our bikes at the same time.  As well as my MR2 which began its mod-cycle as well.

Since the fairings were gone, I finished up my new gauges

Then, since I HATE the silver bland frame, I decided to paint ''''er black.  This took alot of time with masking and prep.  All in all, I''''m quite happy with the results of my rattle-can job.

I recieved my fairings back from the booth.  Its a custom satin-white with matte clear with numerous pearls and flake.  So it shines but you cant see a reflection.

Now it time for reassembly.  I went through a week without my camera because I misplaced it (it was inside of the headlight opening of my MR2 :) )  I went ahead and replaced the tail with a smoked LED version.  I installed a Competition Werkes fender eliminator kit.  Installed 3-wire flush LED for the front turns.  Replaced my headlight with a HID kit (true HID - not just a silverstar bulb). And finally installed Vortex frame sliders to aid my next fall.  I also put on a eBay rear fender.  I''''m not very proud of it as its udder crap and will be replaced when I get time.

And now some pictures today which show some of my modifications

I hoped you enjoyed it.  I''''ll try to keep this updated with my future modifications.  Soon to come: Puig windscreen.  New Diablo front tire.  New rear fender.  Possibly some more carbon pieces. And 10,000 more miles. :)

SICK looking bike.  I''d be afraid to ride it... great work!!


hades -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/11/2008 2:20:57 AM)

I think if you polish and paint flat black the alterator and stator cover that bike will be sick. I did my frame and my swingarm mirror finish and my stator and alternator cover flat black and looks so nice. 


sorny -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/11/2008 5:14:43 AM)

Holy shit!  I''ve never really seen  a white bike that I actually liked but that thing is one of the nicest CBR''s I''ve ever seen.  Painting the frame black really did it.  Good job!


redzintimidator -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/11/2008 9:11:05 AM)

stator a nd clutch cover flat black w0uld look sexy..but dont paint em ,get them powder coated. That paint looks l ike the cadi white pearl a little..
good job! Looks great!


toaliosis -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/11/2008 9:46:18 AM)

Sick, very sick.
Now I have to think of some other color to do my bike in... ass ;)


tecnica -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/12/2008 3:22:18 PM)

thanks for the compliments, guys!  I plan to get carbon fiber covers for the strator and clutch.  I''ll keep this posted with my future mods.


f44life -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/13/2008 12:04:38 PM)

nice job!! have fun trying to keep it clean


RichPen -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/13/2008 1:45:14 PM)

I love the white with black frame, always looks sick IMO.


ajlong -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/15/2008 11:32:34 AM)

Awsome job.  That''s a nice looking white on black combo.


ill_ace -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/15/2008 10:26:22 PM)

How is the paint on the frame holding up? I am considering doing this but not if it starts peeling quickly.


tecnica -> RE: Tecnicas Build Thread (LOTS OF PICTURES) (6/16/2008 4:29:39 PM)

the frame is holding up fairly well.  I used an etch primer and semi-gloss from advance auto.  No scratches or peeling whatsoever
