Woohoo!! Looks like this project will be getting started sooner than I expected! :)

VIP status from Corbin I guess bumps everyone else out and puts ya to the front of the line!  ;) ;D

Ordered the smuggler trunk last week, it arrived today, typical great customer service and fast shipping from Corbin!  :thumbs: :thumbs:

I have a suggestion---Eliminate the rack and handles, incorporate the tail light into the tail itself.  Streamlined appearance and something unique.

So I scored a set of "1400GTR" badges off ebay the other day, I'm thinking about running these with this set of bodywork instead of the "Concours14" badges on the sides of the tail panels...  8)




What do you folks think?  :-\

Has anyone done this?  I don't use a top box or carry passengers and I swear everytime I look at that rack I think flat bed farm truck. ::)

So is your plan to have multiple sets of plastic in different colors so you can outrun cops, then change the color quickly so you don't get caught, or are you simply trying to match your shoes?

2 of dem pieces look familiar ;)  Good for at least a %10 boost in performance, which will put ya just slightly above a parade pirate bike ;D

Not that I have seen.  I have been toying with the idea a bit.  I will also be doing what I can to shave weight.  I just need to find some "spare" change so I can upgrade my suspension.  What Jay is doing is awesome, I just want to go the performance route, make the ultimate naturally aspirated bags on sleeper.  Work on more air in to match the TBs and lower weight (I am starting with me).
I think I will start a thread for ideas.

Sweet!

For your next set of body work, how about some of that color changing paint? You know, the stuff that changes color as your viewing angle changes?

Can you get your car into that garage?    :o

You should go with a hyper color paint. That way, when you ride it in the summer it will be red and when you ride it in the winter (or when it rains) it will be black.

Honestly though, I think you should take a trip to a PPG or HOK store and look at all the color samples they have before picking a color from another Kawasaki year/model bike. If I had the money to repaint my entire bike, that's what I would do. There's no sense picking another Kawasaki color and having to pay outrageous prices for ColorRite paint when you can find MUCH MUCH nicer colors and better paint readily available from PPG or HOK. Not to mention, your bike will be one-off and not a clone of another year/model's color...
