My cleaned Hornet 600

[m0l0t0v]

So yesterday being a nice bright sunny day I decided to clean my bike and get all the rust of the downpipes and a few other places. Also polished the wheels, washed, clayed and waxed all the body work and cleaned everything else.

Probably the cleanest it's ever looked!

Blue is the fastest colour

I wanna change the headlights soon, hopefully my next paycheck. Don't know what else to change tbh.

Front indicators they need a white covering to match the rear.

So whats a restricted hornet like as im thinking of getting one ?

[m0l0t0v]

Meh. headlight's first. I like the indicators but they can be doing with changing I suppose. Need to look for ones that would suit the bike well though. Don't want tiny slimline indi's tbh as I think it would look weird on the bike.

And it's still good fun, pulls a lot and still faster than all of my friends cars, except my friend who has a skyline.

If you get a Hornet, make sure you get it in blue as they always have a higher top end

Nice bike, looks tidy.

[ram_doom]

looks very nice one of the few bikes on which the colour blue is acceptable!

Sell me your headlight when you change it

Looks cool with no mirrors (all bikes do imo) but I don't think I'd want to ride without them. A question of what you're used to I suppose.

[Bullet]

looking good there mate, very shiney! horn looks like it could do with repainting, or a chrome one perhaps? could do with a new front tyre first though, that one looks a bit fu(ked

On the front brake lever, tbh I don't think I will. Surprisingly it's actually very comfy to use and I have mroe control of the throttle and it kinda taught me to use the front brake with just two fingers. Works just fine so don't see why spend money on another one in case i drop the bike (or my friends ) and it breaks or bends again.

Yeah I want to replace the horn as it's truely fucked. But it works so I'm not complaining.

I'm used to riding with no mirrors considering the mirros on my 125 were stolen (no idea why) and I hate the stock mirrors. I do lots of lifesavers and I've been riding pretty much 2 years without mirrors and I've yet to have any close calls because of the lack of them. If I can find some nice ones then I might. Als, I don't want them to vibrate lots at high speed/revs.

Will do ram-dom shouldn't be too long. No damage to it either.

And on the cae of the front tyre, yes I do need one soon. But it is more grip in the dry dont'cha know

Funnily enough it's more bold at the edges and quite a bit more tread in the centre of the tyre Completely the opposite to my rear. Meh.

And thanks for the comments

I want your lid and I want your wheels

[Scouse]

Very nice looking bike!! I've been tempted to get rid of mine for one of those lately. Just one thing though, that front tyre looks fookin massive!

[Bullet]

[instigator]

I have a strong desire to get another hornet next. Yours looks like a nice machine.

Twin mivv race cans and a belly pan is all I would have fitted. In black. Mmm...

[LUXY DJ]

looks FRESH!

did you do your rims yourself?

& i got same rear lights as you

I cleaned them up yes. But the powdercoating was done already whren I bought the bike. It's what actually convinced me to buy it thinking about it. Rear lights FTW

I want to get the tail piece and the bellypan resprayed. Maybe even the tank. Kinda hard to see i nthe photos (cept the bellypan) but there's lots of scratches, stone chips and places where there's not paint at all! The mudguard is in tip top condition and so is the hugger. I want to get an extender fender but wish I could have it colour coded instead of it being black...

Need a polishing kit so I can get the swingarm nice and shiny

Thanks for the comment.

Twin race cans on a Hornet @ instigator?

[quacker_boy]

Braided hoses? Wavey discs? There's plenty of tarty OR performance items that you could slap on.

Pazzo levers for example

Does look very clean though mate, i like it

EDIT: Got the model name of your Shark lid mate? Tempted...

Shark s500. Mines a special though. air fusion demon. It even has a gold tooth

Pzo levers are too expensive Why pay over 30 quid when you can make your own.

I do want braided hoses actually... wavey discs are overrated.

Performance? I'm restricte to 33bhp No point unless it's braided hoses or suspension really...

Looks nice, and clean.

Yeah but ll that costs MONEY which I don't have. Hell I'm lucky if I get payed 6 quid an hour! Most of it goes towards petrol to get to/from college and other places!

Would like too though.

Pazzo levers would be last on my list Clearly just for looks.

And it's just Air Demon, not Air fusion demon.

Thanks on all the comments
