Well, im waiting for some more aftermarket parts.. a carb diaphragm, and 160 pounds worth of anodized gold racing sprockets and chain
Then set it all up, and have a profesional photo shoot done.. should be quite a sight! spent nearly 120 full hours on it now.. no to mention 400+ pounds worth of kit already |

Thats what I thought but the tyres are ex-raced.. top rubber that is!
^^^^
Yeh I was considering fitting a 600 lump sometime in the future, but scrapped the idea in favour of buying a new 600, and keep it as it is. I am looking for another ZXR 400 L1 engine though, but no luck yet.. I want something to have rebuilt and ready for when its current engine retires |

Well firstly, you need to clean the brake callipers damn well, and get all the dust, oil and gunge of the surface you want to paint, then use non hammered Hammerite paint. Then buy a small pot of model paint, (look in toy shops, etc, or even buy an Airfix plane model kit for the paint ) and use a very small brush for the letters. looks very sweet from a few meters away! like expensive racing brakes you need quite a few coats of paint for the letters, as this model paint takes a long time to dry.. ( 4 coats = 1 week dry time).
Also remember not to get brake fluid on the paint, or it will ruin the finish.. so if you need to, bleed your brake system properly first, (if it hasnt been done for a while) then do the painting
Give me a PM if you want any more tips or advice with the pictures above, id be happy to help. Good fun making your bike look like new, or better |
