Beautiful Blue Storm

Post by Beamish »

Searching for belly pans (not anymore though Kitch) and came across these piccys.

Not only is it a stunning example bur look at the two front fairing intakes and the rad cut outs, the silver mesh looks brilliant (IMHO). Now I know most of the max power type shops sell it but what do you reckon would be the best way to attach said material to the fairing?

Any ideas?

i actually bought some of that mesh about 12 months ago to do exactly that! Never got round it to...


However that black engine looks REALLY nice! Wish i could do that to mine!

i like the look of that, the mirrors look good to, i'm not a fan of the indicators in them usually but those look good, he's filled in the holes in the fairing to.

and how much polishing did that frame take...lol...to get the casting marks out of the main frame piece must have taken ages.

i have gold mesh, kind of matchs the calipers...tried silver and thought the same as yourself!

Out of intrest, how did you attach yours? my plan was la-faithful-gluegun

Bike belongs to a chap named Shayne who comes over to the superhawkforum from time to time. A stand-up guy and a sweet looking bike (supposed to run real well too) !
