Well if it's smaller stuff that you can ship. Perhaps I can help u out. It's become a lil side hobby of mine. Among the many others. Lol But Ive gotten pretty good at it. I don't have really expensive equipment so multi stage colors can be a lil difficult but I've done three stage and they've come out pretty good.

Did my buddies R6 rims just last week. But rims are a bit of as PITA. So I really only do those for me or close friends. Just to time consuming for a hobby guy. But hit me up lemme know what you got in mind

Took the bike to work today, was chilly going in (50 with fog), but 72 and sunny coming home. I drive mostly highway (20 miles one way) so I get lots of wind chill at speed. Wish the weather would hold out, but rain tomorrow and then cold is weather here in eastern PA.

How do you like the R6 throttle tube?

I find the stock throttle tube touchy and my first inclination is that this would make it worse, so I'm curious.

Could be just the Aussie bike. But after removing the Aus 1/4 turn throttle restriction (yes, Australian bikes are restricted. No US bikes are not. Yes you just bent to tag out of the way to derestrict.) I found the throttle roll on to be very long. Only been out on the bike once since the swap but it feel so much nicer. Not twitchy, but more snappy. Haha if that make sense. Highly recommend!

I kinda forgot to take pics but The first was right after I fixed the broken tab. The stock powder is super thin and almost kinda see through. It didn't take much to sand blast it all off. The new black is a much deeper black. I think it's gonna look great once I get the rest coated.

Also I realized that the plastic wear pad had to come off. Right after that pic I was like uhhh that's gotta go or it'll just melt in the oven! lol

Did a thing with the ongoing nitrous fz6r, after 12 months of chasing my tail sorting out the clutch (ended up being a dealer stuff up from 3 years ago), I brought the bike into the 10 second club.

Got some of those sweet 6R Home Depot headlight brackets... They only came in fence metal grey. So I spiffed them up with some black powder. :)

Mine has been sitting since those lovely 70 degree days in February.

will probably sit for another month... florida trip in 3 weeks will definitely limit my ride time.

Disney - Orlando/Kissimmee We have a time share in West gate vacation villas.


I am planning to make a run down to port charlotte one day and I have another day free while the ex and her kids are at the parks...
