think i'm gonna paint all the bolt heads today.

Man...Lucky for me Kawi Powdercoated my Ish black from the Factory

Looks good though, All bikes should come like that...It looks so much cleaner

your bike is awesome. That's exactly what mine would look like in my mind's eye. Trade you my $12,000 Vmax that's worth $6000 for it!

I will gen a Gen II Hayabusa. Might take me several years....but I will. Stupid kids!

If you are interested in Flashing your ECU (things that can be done without the Dyno removing the timing retard speed limiters , making small adjustment to the maps) Boost by Smith sells a ECO flash Kit for $200. I just bought one for the B King. Dyno can get expensive, they Guy I use wants $80 and hour, since the king is mostly stock I am just going to de-restrict 5th and 6th and 2nd as soon atthe software allows.

In this weather, it just spins everywhere, in every gear.
Power is adequate.

Mine was 168hp stock with about 600 miles on it.

thought i finished off the remaining bolts, but the more you do the more you see you wanna paint.

so tom. i wanna paint the outer silver ring of the gas cap and maybe take off the brake bolts and ft axle bolts, also saw a bolt holding the rear brake line down that could use painting.......

ended up painting the 4 main fairing bolts, 2 on the ft fender i had missed, the riser spacers and the huge riser bolt heads.

Looks good man.

Looks great! I really like that color scheme.

Amazing how much blacking-out the bits & pieces 'cleans up' the look of a bike.
