    Let me know how you go with finding quotes for getting it done, I bought mine (in black) with minor cosmetic damage on the left side and was thinking of doing the same and going white, but still haven't found a place that will do the whole bike for a good price.

    IMO fully fairing bikes should not be all white - too much to my eye.

    Naked bikes yes.

    SO

    I had a fart around and came up with this - crappy application as it has been done in Paint and I'm on the red wine but you get the idea.

    In the end - your bike, go for it.

    Just how much wine have I been having?

    I'm off to wrap my head in tinfoil - the Government may be stealing my thoughts.

    I had 2 6inch cracks that were badly fibreglassed and possibly 'solder ironed' together. I had them plastic welded by a mate of a mate on Henderson Valley road for 150bucks. Have a mate of mate doin the full respray for a touch over 500 as long as i remove the plastics and tank. Ive seen quite a bit of the lads painting before and im happy to take the bike to him.


    Quite liking the black section on your version and also loving the zx6r. I think i will respray all white and then in future i can add satin/matt black vinyls in a chosen style if i think she needs it

    Definately going white now, reason I asked is if i go to sell her on in a few months then i know now that people will like her being white instead of the standard green

    $150 for plastic welding sounds like quite a bit to me. I had one big crack (20 cm?) done for $45.

    Because he's asking for our opinion. I think it would look sweet.

    I wouldn't do it. No point sinking money into a bike that you will only have for your learners period.
