It's finally done

[Phenoix]

After months of stuffing round and swearing its finally finished.
My bike is back on the road again :yes:
Just need decals, new windscreen and seats redone, but YAY
Its ridable again

[UrbanMyth]

very nice it looks awesome mate

[cowboy]

Looks great as it is with no decals

[Phenoix]

That it does.
But Im going to get silver flames and "Phenoix" writen on the side to break up the blood red some.
And it'll hide my blood if I do something like NZ_LIAM did :nya:

[Ghost Lemur]

Mint looking ride Pheonix.

Send a pm to Cajun, his Father-in-law owns an upolstery (sp?) company that specialises in motorcycle seats. Large range of fabrics and colours. Reviews from KBers who have had work done by him rate him as exellent. Silver seats (tieing in with the decals) would look sweet.

Any chance of a write up on what you've done?

[twinkle]

Awesome colour :yes:

[Sniper]

Great work mate, thats a mint ride

[texmo]

looks good man. keep it shiny side up ok?

[Karitane pete]

Now that does look nice, what is the colour called (code No.)?
don't lose the colour under to many decals.

[OMG]

That's minta alright, good work

[MSTRS]

You mean like this (sorta) ??

[Qkchk]

Shit nice paintjob matey. Looks a bit better than that Kalidescope/white paint you had before. You better well turn up for a ATNR and show it off!

[imdying]

You mean like this (sorta) ??Please dear Lord no... it's a pretty nice looking colour, please don't hurt it or I'll cry :'(

[MSTRS]

Please dear Lord no... it's a pretty nice looking colour, please don't hurt it or I'll cry :'(
Yea I know. It is a be-ootiful colour. But it could be a bit much & needs something tasteful to provide relief. Perhaps the barest outline only of the flames he mentioned?

[Gazzar]

That looks awesome good work Pheonix:rockon:

[masterofpuppets]

damn thats a nice color. waht are you redoing the seats in. if you can do them in white i reckon theyll go mint with the rest of the bike.

[imdying]

Maybe get them masked up and sprayed over in a very light white pearl?

[Phenoix]

Arg, no more paint, Im high enogh off the fumes :P
Am still trying to decided on seat colour, black silve or white.
And sugestions ?

And can you move the flames to the back.
"Phenoix" (Please note spelling, and use I know its wrong) to where Kawaski is, and ZX2R where phoenix is at the moment

[texmo]

silver and white seat would look plain gay let alone get dirty straight away..

[kiwifruit]

Bike looks mint, nice colour
what about a black seat with a bit of silver stitching or something?
Cajun would be the man to talk to :niceone:

[MSTRS]

Like this? (getting better)

[Mr. Peanut]

Give the flames a miss.

[Phenoix]

He's getting good
Can you have the flames start just under the seat tho and strech back, kind of breaking off at the end ?
I'll get better pictures in more light and mesurments over the next few day.

It all started after a low side, followed by a nother low side a few months later, finished with a rear end into a park jeep and a dropped (Not all of this was me)
So with mates invovled in causing some of the damaged sanded the whole thing back, by hand. And it takes AGES.
Headed to Colour works on Great South Road for a colour, and ended up chosing the custom red you see there.
Dropped the panels off to a mate to prime, more sanding then colour and clear.
The hardest part is getting the sanding done.
I've also included the photos of the bike previously

[Phenoix]

Sniff sniff, the memories.
I miss that helmet :bye:

[sugilite]

Very, very nice job there, classy bro, classy :doobey:

[N4CR]

Fuck... gareth_d's way of saying 'PHENWARRR' always cracks me up. Hahaha phenoix.. pm spank to change it man.

Nice one dude.. looks good, I'll have to pull my head in to keep ahead in the posey stakes!

To late, its stuck, and how he says it is now classic.
Now all I need to do is capture him on film saying it as use my flame thrower on him :doobey:

[Switch]

That is a wicked looking bike dude :first:

[SPman]

Geez mate - how much has that bike cost you now?????

[dveus]

Tis looking alot better than last time I saw it. I think I may have even just managed to get rid of all the mud it left in my garage.

[Qkkid]

That looks awesome good work Pheonix:rockon:

well done Phoenix looks pretty so we should see ya back on the Thursday night rides then eh:blip:

[placidfemme]

wow thats looks awesome!! that type of red really suits the ZXR's

*two thumbs up*

[COP_B8]

flames??? 10 characters....

[Phenoix]

Yea, stripping the mud of took 3 buckets of water, and there was no fairings.
And the bikes cost "enough" I've pretty much replaced most parts on there.

[MSTRS]

flames???
Outlines only. Much more subtle = good.

[Phenoix]

Outlines only. Much more subtle = good.

True, Can we try that with your first idea, but have flames at the back.
Leave Phenoix on the tanks and kawaski on the front fairing.

And does anyone know where to get a new/2nd tinted windscreen from ?

Send me a decent photo and I'll give you some options....

[diggydog]

thats great stuff there mate, did u do the job yourself?.

[Phenoix]

thats great stuff there mate, did u do the job yourself?.

Did some my self, but got a mate to do dinally painting as I dont have a spray gun.
I choose colour and did basic sanding.
I should have some photos tomorrow of it in daylight

[texmo]

Tinted windscreens.
Mt eden sell them so do red baron so I guess most bike shops can get them in for you I am pretty sure they are around the $80 mark

[R6_kid]

did somebody say

PHENWAAAR

looking good there man, dont put you name on it... especially if your gonna spell it wrong. 'personalising' any vehicle beyond paint and maybe seats will end up losing sale value. Would you buy a bike that had someone elses nickname on it, especially if it was going to be an ass to remove?

As for the seat. White = NO, my mate had the same colour on his TZR250, with white wheels and white seats, looked stupid. Silver would look stupid too. Get the seats redone in black, and if you want your name on the bike why not get a seat cover to go over the seat with PHENOIX embroided on it, will only cost like $5 for the embroiding, just need to find someone that knows how to sew good - texmo maybe?

[Phenoix]

Cool, will keep in mind then.
I just got to sort a fuel issue at the moment, cant get past 12K

[Phenoix]

Got it sorted.
Problem was
My mate reassembled for me and I didnt check it.
Was missing bolts from air filter aswell as hose's used to mix air and petrol i think.
Fixed it all and running mint again.
Just got back from Hamz and I can now do atleast 100Km/h :)
Onto the thursday night night again

[skidMark]

[skidMark]
