Kristin approved 2010 paint/mods

I have several bikes lined up for the off season to keep me busy and give me my bike fix but it would not be an off season here at my place if I did'nt do something to Kristin's gen3. I patched it up after she layed it over in the gravel(twice) but never took it off the road long nuff to do it the what I wanted. The paint was not up to par and I want to use better quality paint and finish for next year.
Mods are gonna likely be an upgraded headlight of some sort, maybe new mirrors, braided stainless rear brake lines, undertail exhaust, and because of the undertail, new plate mount, tail light and sigs.
This is her bike this year and a basic idea of where we want to go with it.

 

Nice. Love how your going to in-corprate the Honda wings.. I guess your keeping the rims white too.

 

Yep, she said they gotta stay.

 

Yes it does need more clear, The paint fom this year was a quick fix to get her riding again.The last bike it brought back from the scrap pile, http://vfrworld.com/forums/anything-goes/27324-eds-suzuki-tl1000r-before-after.html , was short on clear too due to the owner not wanting to post up an extra $40 FOR MORE THAN ONE CLEAR COAT!!!. Rage aside, this is my baby's bike, and a HONDA VFR, so I'm not planning on cutting corners on paint this time.

 

They are masked and painted. I have used vinal stickers before, had mixed results with them. When they get over I certain size I have had a hard time keeping them from getting a ripple or tear. I plan on masking these ones off too.
