Project minty is going to be renamed as Project Tarts Handbag I think.
I want something that stands out, something that looks like a tarty bike and will suprise people when I leave scraping the tail.
So, compressor and spray set sorted, wheels, frame, swingarm being sprayed gloss black with a candy red flake rims being polished.
Vinyl wrapped undertray going on
Watch this space. It's going to be subtle but tarty. IT won't stay mint for long but it should turn heads, and will still be recognisable as a CBR 600 F Sport which is what I want. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

I've started revamping my current stunt bike, for a couple of reasons, 1) so its in better condition and looks better when I sell it and 2) so it looks better!!
The side fairings on the crashed project minty are "reasonable" for stunt use, I have a reasonable seat unit and a mint tank too... so...
I stripped my bike down, cleaned it all, then cleaned it again with paraffin and a pressure washer. Fixed and improved a few things too!
I've stripped the radiator off, need to get the mounts re-welded on as they snapped. I'm going to re-spray the frame and swingarm black and clean up a few more bits too... as well as replace the forks.
Used to look like this, rather tired looking and generally dirty/crap looking. (only pic I have, no stationary ones!)

So here it is.... (well, half-done but you get the idea )

Will update this thread with the continuation of project minty and project revamp
To do:
Fix, remount and fill radiator
Spray frame, swingarm and some other bits black
Replace forks
Replace and fix front brakes
Cut tail slightly for round 12 bar and mount up
Dent tank and spray (dent only)
Fix some wiring (fell into fan and got chewed up DOH)
Service (oil, filter, check a few things etc etc!)
Fix starting problem (battery I *think*)
Sure I'll think of more ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

UPDATE
Progress, anyone say progress!
The undertray was fucked when I got this, I first intended to fit the red aftermarket undertray in a previous post, but turns out that was for the F4 not the F Sport
So... I swapped the undertray off my stunt bike to get this moving along.
Everything removed
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/undertray-removed-1.jpg
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/undertray-removed-2.jpg
Replacement undertray fitted up
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/undertray-fitted-1.jpg
Handlebars fitted up, fairing had to be moved forward slightly to allow clearance but got there in the end. I also had to cut down the upper fairing and screen to meet the line of the clock bracket
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/bars-fitted.jpg
I got to thinking about handbrake clearance issues, then before I knew it I ended up fitting the whole thing and made it all clear fine It has changed since this pic as I found a better way to mount it all, but it looks basically like this... easy pull clutch too
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/handbrake.jpg
Side shot, as you can see I now have a cut down standard can fitted up
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/side-shot-1.jpg
CBR1000RR fireblade throttle and a ducati 748 brembo
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/1000rrthrottle.jpg
Here's what I see Before anyone comments...... the left reservoir is tilted forwards so that the res doesn't run dry when wheelying... the right side reservoir tilts back so it doesn't run dry when stoppying
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/controls-view.jpg
I have started on the wheels... here's what I'm going for, they aren't finished yet but it will look like this with red rim stripe, what ya reckon?
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/front-red-wheel-1.jpg
Got to fit indicators, find a replacement rear light that fits, fit new seat unit and round 12 bar and a fair few other things, but it's getting there. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

Been busy today.
Not so many pictures for you but I've got a lot done to both bikes.
The stunter.. I've sprayed the frame and swingarm, replaced tank, put a flat 12 bar on it and cut the seat unit to fit, also straightened the subframe and tidied all the wiring.... started putting the renthal handlebars back on as well... also rebled the rear brake and removed handbrake (as that's gone on the new bike)
It's starting to take shape and it looks a hell of a lot better than it used to.
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/stunter-revamp-3.jpg
As for Project Minty.
Well, I've put a 16mm brembo on the front brakes, I bled it all up yesterday with a banjo brake light switch for MOT purposes.
Let's just say, you'll be getting a lot of stoppie pictures from me soon! This set up is AWESOME. I was rolling stoppies on cold tyres without even trying..... !
I finished the front wheel too.. but there's a slight issue with this!
I sprayed it up and was really happy, then I got the pinstriping but when I started putting it on I became really unhappy it was too narrow and completely the wrong colour! It's more orange than red.
So I chucked it on quickly without much effort with the view of just getting it MOT'ed and taking it all off later when I can be bothered....
So I start fitting the wheel up..
front off...
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/front-wheel-removed.jpg
the wheel (at this stage I was really unhappy with it and kinda MEH about it all
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/front-wheel.jpg
Anyways, I chuck it on reluctantly, then my neighbour comes down the drive and says how good it looks.!!
I step back for the first time and look at it actually fitted to the bike and I have to say but I really love it... I just need to get some 10mm HONDA RED pinstripe before I'm happy, but the general idea looks really good IMO.
https://www.sparksfreestyle.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/red-wheel-fitted-1.jpg
Tomorow I am going to fit the round 12 bar and seat unit and seats...
All that's left is a rear disc, front mudguard and got to do the rear wheel the same as the front (as well as change the pinstriping)
I got some 954 fireblade left switchgear and a start/stop button off a Honda VTR SP-2 so once they turn up I have to custom re-wire the switchgear looms to get them to fit and work then it's down for MOT!!!
Still saving up some cash for the tail saver and crash cage ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |
