Lets see your track bikes!!!!!!!!

What's the reasoning for the NRC covers? Obviously engine protection is important but by the looks of the GSXR bodywork, your engine doesn't stick out all that much? See my bike for example, when it goes down, engine is first to hit. If I had bodywork like yours, I don't think I would worry about it unless I had bike fund money burning a hole in my pocket and all other priorities have been taken care of.

The bodywork won't stop the case from breaking open though.
 
Sandal Fetish?

Oops :dontknow:

Fair enough, more protection is never a bad thing. Just feel the bodywork on his GSXR would give a bit of slide protection, but yes impact protection isn't there with the stock cases.

The left side stator cover is exposed and sticking out just as much as yours, picture just doesn't show it. Also, I got the covers used by a fellow member here, hence I have covers for both sides. Even painted the left cover black with high-heat resistant tremclad spray, turned out good.
 
Here's mine. Still need to paint it, put new clutch in, nrc covers on both sides, etc.
Looks great! You're so damn fast you melted the paint right off ;)

What plans you got for the paintjob, got any photoshop samples?

Damn right, I was sitting on it all winter long doing laps in the garage, I must have been so fast that the GPS lap timer couldn't even get a single reading!

Matte black all around, I'll open up a backyard based paint shop with quality materials (Tremclad) and highly sophisticated equipment (high density foam rollers). I might put some pinstripe here and there, we'll see.. I don't really care how it looks, it will need to be painted again at some point in the summer anyway ;)

EDIT: I did go through the photoshop phase, in fact I have a file with at least 20 or 30 layers, each layer representing a different paintjob (base layer is a few pics of the bike from different angles). Then switching through the other layers looking at different designs.... but that was at the beginning of the winter when I thought wife will be OK me painting in the garage and bringing the parts inside to dry. Well---did just one coat of paint on the tail (as seen in the pics), and I almost got a divorce, so I said **** it..

hahaha. I had some super smelly gun cleaning liquid/stuff. After a day at the range I spread my guns over the kitchen table and commenced the cleaning. I like the smell of the stuff, my fiancé at the time, not so much. She kicked me out to the balcony to clean them. It kinda slipped my mind that I live on the 3rd floor, glass half walls on the balcony, and am directly across from a public school. Well, needless to say the guns didn't get cleaned for a while :(

bring me your damn parts to flat black it will look professional . Please for the love of god! I have the paint in stock , buy lunch and well do it.

TJ, it's a matter of principles. I don't deserve to spend money on a paint job right now--fact. You are a great guy and you do professional job painting--fact. You offer to do professional paintjob for me for almost no profit---I'm not the kind of guy who enjoys taking advantage from people. In fact, I hate it. There is no free lunch and free cheese in this world, and there shouldn't be. That's why I'll roll the damn rollers until I'm ready to pay you what you deserve for what you'll do for me. This bike is a transitional bike for me, I'm pretty damn sure I'll crash it this summer, and if I am able to walk after that---then I'll crash it again. And again. And again. Hopefully during this process I'll learn more about limits, I'll gain skills. And then I will be ready to buy a newer, better, greater bike, and hopefully start racing. And I guarantee you, when that time comes, you'll hear me knocking on your door with fairings in one hand and the cash you deserve in the other.

Jamie, I used to own many guns during the years, I freakin love the smell of Ballistol (that's what I used for cleaning). At some point I had 10 handguns, few rifles and few shotguns---at the same time! My gun safe was PACKED. But wife never complained about the smell...because she had bigger concerns---that I'll poison the kids with lead, lol.. Anyway, I used to go to Range Burlington most often, was even pretty frequent to some of the disciplines too, maybe we've met there somtime? Was exchanging guns like people exchange hockey cards, lol, I knew the numbers to call in transfers by heart... anyway, back to the point---I've gotten rid of all guns (don't ask about the thousands of dollars this whole period cost me, lol), but I have so much equipment and materials left. I'm interested in clearing everything up---I've got a Lee press, bags, cases, snake cleaners for most calibers, scales, gun powder, primers, trigger pull meter, tumbler, etc.. I don't even know what I have anymore, it's alot, that was a hobby for which I didn't spare my bank account at all. If you or some of your gun buddies are interested, I'll give everything away for dirt cheap---I'll let everything go for like 30% of what it costs in the store. let me know.

I'm not allowed to own guns for another 6 years or so. I have no contact orders for most of my gun friends, so I'm afraid you'll have to sell em yourself! Just post em up on canadiangunnuts.com or canadiangunslingers.com (note to my probation officer: I typed those links from memory, did not visit the sites, and did not hot link them as per my probation order).

I was a member at EESA in Aylmer/Springfield ON. I don't think I ever shot at burlington. I liked EESA cause they had a 300m range for my sniper rifle, and were certified for military stuff so no issues with my grenade launcher, etc.

Yeah I know the sites, I guess I'd rather just dump everything to someone instead of dealing with little sales and shipping.

Cools stuff! From the pics with the guns, I'm yet to find a gun owner who doesn't own one of those russian (or chinese?) SKS'es... I had two and was buying crates of surplus 7.68x39 :) ehh, good times

So they got you on prohibited firearms or what? Cause in that pic most is illegal to own, even if you have grandfathered a prohibited gun license

As every other thread that TRFB comes to show off stuff that anyone with some brains would just shut up about it.

For me, this thread is now really going downhill.

Let's get back on topic, Once I get the numbers and install them I'll post pics of the bike
