Your thoughts

[Sniper]

Well, the work in progress has had another step done to it and finished today. All I need now is to get a new blade, re-jet the carbs, fix the timing issue and do a general polish.

So tell me, how does she look?

[crashe]

"She" be looking damn fine mate...

[ZorsT]

pretty damned sexy

Lookin' good. I assume you're you going to fix the gark in the right side crankcase cover and put the front guard on. But, yeah, lookin' good, I see why you wanted a matt black helmet now.

[nadroj]

Looking better than a bitch on heat - how long will it stay like that?

[Sniper]

As long as I like it really. Im toying with the idea of having red decals on her and a red blade. Not too sure if that would work of look good though.

Far Queue, yea I have an engine cover on order from Japan ($212 later :eek5: )

[flash]

did i miss the thread saying you crashd it?, i thought its a was original grey and stuff?

[Sniper]

No thread done Flash, and no, she used to be red and white.

$212 :eek5: couldn't ya get the one you've got fixed up cheaper? A bit late now I suppose.

[Sniper]

Yea, I wanted a new one though

[skelstar]

Nice one Sniper. V cool.

[Colapop]

Yep that nice arright!

[flash]

dont you think painting over the mint factory paint jobs gona devalue it?

[Sniper]

Not gonna sell it so I don't care if it devalues, its mine and I have made it mine even more

[flash]

ok then, looks wickd :)

[cowpoos]

So tell me, how does she look?
look a hell of a lot better when you put the suzuki stickers on the tank...and it will naturally handle better...gain about 10% HP and attract the opposite sex alot better...

[skelstar]

....but then you will spend most of your evenings spouting bullsh1t.

[Shadows]

These bikes don't tickle my fanny much, thats just a personal preference thing.
But its nice, great job so far. Love the kinda Mad Max look happening.
Yerp, needs front guard, engine case definately needs sorting out, and the screen. But as you say you haven't finished yet.
Love the red highlights on the grips. I'd go minimal with the red decals, probably keep it debadged, maybe a small pinstripe along the tank and something running along the plastic at the back... I don't reckon it would look the best overdone.

[cowpoos]

....but then you will spend most of your evenings spouting bullsh1t.

you do realise skel that this is sniper we are talking about!!!

[skelstar]

....and it would be ten times worse :).

[sefer]

Looks really good.

Red decals of some sort would look great, just something simple on the tank prehaps. I'm not sure about a red screen too though, migh be a bit much. You should mock up something on photoshop :)

[miSTa]

Why I am looking at photos at a bike that's not yours Sniper? Your one is all ratty and used looking not like this one...

:laugh: Smartarse. Its a good looker now. Almost ready to enter a Mad Max rally or something.

As for Skel and cowpoos. :nya: (pt :dodge: )

[skelstar]

Im the straight guy, hes the funny guy (also: not straight).

[miSTa]

Smartarse? Well that's nice and here I was about to say to say something nice about your nice freshly painted machine. :msn-wink:

I'm straight....only honda riders are ghey....and yamaha riders...well they curious ;)

[Sparky Bills]

Pipes looking good man!
Bet it sounds great!:headbang:

[nudemetalz]

Well I must say it looking a heap better than when I saw it in ChCh one month ago !!!

Keep going, make her mint !!:spudflip:

[kiwifruit]

looking good snipe
get that new blade on there and she will look ten times better
go 4 the red one IMO

[FlyingDutchMan]

Looking good! But watch the red stickers... you wouldn't want it to turn out like this one: http://www.cr-x.org/cbr250/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31624. A screen will definitely help with the wind blast too - its like holding on for dear life over 20km/h over.

I'm intruiged by the "timing issue". I'm pretty sure the timing can't go out on the cibbies - its fixed and AFAIK it'll work or it won't. The only possiblity that crosses my mind is the pulse rotor has rotated on the crank. very doubtful though. The bike seemed good when I was riding it.

eeewwww yuk, the red screen looks OK though. I thought a red screen would be too much, but it's not bad at all. But keep the rest of the red trim to a minimum, it's lookin' good in basic black.

[loosebruce]

Is that it? What a waste of bandwidth, think i'm going to be sick. :Pokey:

Sorry i meant it's so cool i made it my desktops wall paper :mellow:

You could add it too the Kiwibiker POS club.

With me and the TL.
Motoracer and his thingee
And now you

[limbimtimwim]

As long as I like it really. Im toying with the idea of having red decals on her and a red blade. Not too sure if that would work of look good though.It looks mean like that. And no screen looks meaner.

[onearmedbandit]

Dude, you didn't tell me you've got a digital camera. Post up some pics of your front tyre so we can help with this issue you've been having. Ooops, better check your thread on the tyre slide first eh, you've probably already done it!

[edit] Just checked and no you haven't, get 'em up mate. [edit]

Oh yeah,I think the paint job is an improvement on the std one.

[T.W.R]

fix the timing issue and do a general polish.

So tell me, how does she look?

Is that the gear box timing issue? (p/t):shutup: & polishing matt black should be interesting (p/t):eyepoke:

Nah all in all looking pretty trick! finished product should be on the money :2thumbsup

[dangerous]

So tell me, how does she look?
Nice job with the primer snip.... what colour is it going to be? :blip:

actually it dosent look to bad, try gray markings def not red as it will detract from the wheels.


Dude, you didn't tell me you've got a digital camera. Post up some pics of your front tyre so we can help with this issue you've been having.
Dont tell me..... its sliding at 200k :slap:

[JWALKER]

yes, it is a nice looking job. still slow though, maybe your new paint job will help

[Grahameeboy]

yes, it is a nice looking job. still slow though, maybe your new paint job will help

but he doesn't have to beg (and whatever else!!) and borrow other bikes.......ho ho

[Stevo]

Pipes looking good man!
Bet it sounds great!:headbang:
The pipe does look good. Pity bout the sound. :rofl:
Sounds like a starlet with a big bore exhaust. Lotsa noise and little balls.:Pokey:
I reckon a little silver trim would look quite goodwithout detracting from anything else. Would highlight better than grey too I reckon.

Are you allowed to repaint the FiZzeR too, or are you allowed nowhere near that?

[JWALKER]

but he doesn't have to beg (and whatever else!!) and borrow other bikes.......ho ho

argh, tis true, he has got me there. soon i will have mine back . . hopefully . . .:weep:

[Sniper]

Lol at Stevo, you really know how to stir shit :bleh: I like the new sig too.

[cousa1]

Looks good in Red and Black

[Southmotian]

It looks mean:niceone: I'm doing the same thing to mine at the moment except a gloss black and clear screen. Nice to get an idea of what the finished product will look like cause my rims are staying red too. I was thinking red stickers but probably just go with the small "honda wing" on the tank and a small RR on the side fairings, e-bay seems to be the place to go for sticker kits, you can get them in a range of colours. Long live the MC22:2thumbsup

[Marmoot]

Need some colour.

May I suggest looking at an example of vintage 1999 Fireblade with Repsol metalic green/blue tinge and orange+red fruity flavour on it?

Oh, and whatever people tell you, don't get that tyga fairings.

While you're at it, find a used NSR150SP (or RVF400) headlights and see if you can plug it in.

[Sniper]

Oh, and whatever people tell you, don't get that tyga fairings.

Those Tyga fairings are a bit gay

[XP@]

Another dedication to Mr Matt Black
Camera crapped out on me so it is burned out a tad.

(BTW it sold for just a bit lower than a mint bike of the same year)

[ducatilover]

that looks beaut! i like it alot

[sAsLEX]

You could add it too the Kiwibiker POS club.


oh can I join!

[Sniper]

Pics needed then sAsLex

[Wolf]

So tell me, how does she look?
Meh! Just another fucking sprots bike, could go with stripping of that ghey fairing, polishing the frame, adding straight handlebars...

:devil2:

Seriously, though: Looks great. Black and red works very well. Are you going to decal it up or just leave it basic black?

[Sniper]

After much thought, I think the plan is to leave it black with the red wheels.

[Big Dave]

Looks nice - engine cover?
and you need a new door mat.

[Wolf]

and you need a new door mat.
Never mind that, he needs to move out of that scrody-looking area!

[Sniper]

Thats the neibours front door. Aint mine. And with a double car garage for the multitudes of bikes I will one day have I like where I live. :)

BD- Engine cover is on its way ex Japan, cost a bit too.

[Colapop]

Black and red? Some of da dogs might say it look good wif MMM and a bulldog on da side bro!

[inlinefour]

my thoughts involve a nice new CBR600RR or CBR1000RR if your thast way inclined. :crazy:

[Stevo]

BD- Engine cover is on its way ex Japan, cost a bit too.
Shoulda gone the USA way. Parts take about a third of the time to arrive often at half the price.

[*sic]

never thort about doing the matt black thing.. looks kinda good.. different too.

i still like my gloss black :D in my profile if ya can be assed

[kels]

Wow she looks great! Very similar to my girl!

Have you considered the Honda 'Wing' logo, as used on many Hondas throughout the years? You could get it done by a signwriter in matching vinyl. As long as the size, location, rotation etc etc was right (thanks Photoshop), could look great, do it right, it'll look factory. Resale Value ++ :)

/edit: Like a 2000 CBR600 I think... bikepics.com time

You mean like this...




That would look cool

[imdying]

That's the logo, bit I meant over the whole side fairing.

[Kendog]

I like the red wheels :yes:

[Sniper]

Check Stevo' profile. You mean like that?

[flash]

i say like inline 4fours profile pic. i love those cbrs...

[imdying]

Yeah, like Stevos avatar. Are the wheel iridescent? If so, get the matching dayglo vinyl. Fades in time, but would offset the matt black well :)

[imdying]

Similar to Zeds blade also.

[Sniper]

Thanks mate, I might have a think and play on photoshop and see what I come up with

[imdying]

Something like this

[Sniper]

That looks pretty good actually. Thanks mate, I might have to do something with the tail section too though.

EDIT: Tried to give you bling, but I need to spread it around first.

why not go for a rising sun/japan flag theme thing , hold on put on photoshop hat .

kinda like imdying but with a sun and then extend the "rays " out to the tail section

[imdying]

why not go for a rising sun/japan flag theme thingOooh, like that even more :)

I'll have another crack at smoko

[Sniper]

MOre crack at Smoko? lucky you.......... :laugh:

[imdying]

Well, if another Red Bull enlarging my butt is crack... then yeah :lol:

[Colapop]

I reckon a slightly smaller honda wing just on the front fairing. Youy could put a couple of thinner lines (wing shaped) across the tail. If you put too much red on it you'll detract from the original matt black look. 2c
