thx guys.
so far so good with the bike,
now the tail lights is also tinted (well black hehe)
and about the camo, i think that there was maybe too much going on, so i left out the flat black portion, does this look better?

and btw, here are the tail lights.
also, all the shiny silver you see (footpegs and all) will be powdercoated black

DJ, In my opinion, the camo looks better in picture 2, but with something that looks so sharp without it, I say leave it black. It really looks like a work of art in all black, especially if you powdercoat more parts... The camo just looks really cheesy to me. I guess thats why 3 of 3 of my cars are black with black wheels, and black windows.

If you like the look of the rainbows, no one here will change your opinion though and it only needs to make one person smile... the one paying the insurance bill!

Keep us updated

I think the camo is okay. I still like the black better. As for the tinted lights. It looks nice but I'm not big on blacking out things that allow others to see you better. I've been there, done that and after doing it, I detemined it's just not worth it.

Keep up the good work but get rid of the tail light tint.

Not bad, DJ.

When are you going to take her to the track to learn to ride her?

Hey Nick, nice choice. I have the same style GSXR but a 2002 GSXR 750. No glamour shots, but one track shot of it mint before it took a spill:




Fortunately only got the fairing scraped up a little (tried to push it a little hard in 'the bowl'). Hey DJ, you coming around the LA area any time soon? Perhaps you can help me figure out how to repaint it
