Painting Wheels

[kenmoore]

MacV your right.

The triangle is there to point the direction home!

Very good, it's hard to know being out here and upside down.( Could have a bit to do with all the tinnies,us Aussies drink , on account of I finished my wheels.)

Can't say I have too much trouble with it so far! The sticker hasn't let me down yet.

Glad the whole wheel shenanigan is over with now for the rain to stop and I can go out and ride the Storm!

Ahhhhh back together.... very nice, good job mate

[kenmoore]

Thanks Shauned,

I am now looking at other things to do.

Hanging to change the forks soon, but $$$ are tight at the moment.

[kenmoore]

Cleaned everything up a bit more.

These are gunna be hard to keep clean.



Here is a shot of the bike early on!

This was taken in Far North Queensland about 18 months ago!

Lots has happened since then.



Thanks for watching, onto the next OCMD. Project in the Man Cave.

Just went for a 300k ride .

Here is the finished article at a mates place just before setting off.

Very happy with the end result now that everything Is finished.

looking great dude! You must be chuffed with that?

Those polished cases look good with the polished rims. Well done , nice work.

[kenmoore]

I have a new rear subframe that is polished as well.

Just got to get around to fitting it and then that will be it for polished stuff I think.

Meanwhile I am on the lookout for some 6 pot calipers.

Rode another guys Storm today with these and couldn't believe how much better they were than the CBR600F4i calipers that I have.

When I source some they are going to be gold and I will do my rear caliper Gold as well.

Should look good I think as the bike has so much red, black and polished on it now I think another colour will break it up nicely!

Well for now I'm just gunna sit in the Man Cave with a few and admire my handiwork!

[sirch345]

looking GREAT
You must be very happy with that, well done.

How do you get on with the bar end mirrors

Chris.

[kenmoore]

The vision with them is good considering their size but because they are cheap crappy fleabay ones at go to jail speeds they are all but useless when you need them the most.

As I said I rode another Storm today and the standard mirrors were much better than the bar end ones.

I am thinking of going back to the standards.

We'll see!

Cheers Ken for the info I did wonder what they would be like. They look good, by removing the standard mirrors it changes the whole look of the front end IMHO. But as you say, not much good if you can't see anything in the bar end mirrors when you most need them,

Chris.

[kenmoore]

Maybe I might fit a rear view camera like in a car and have a screen to view what is going on behind!

Another OCMD moment, but it could work.

I do like the bar end mirrors and may just buy a better set.
