What colour's

[Tyler]

Need help deciding on what colour to spray my bike (GSX-R 750 K2)...

Was thinking of spraying it matt black with little bits of Lime green like just the spokes on the wheels and that or black and Orange... Ow and i am doing this myself

It would have to be black and orange mate. Not Kwak Green

[Tyler]

Hmmmmmmm, been looking at the gloss black look as well... Decisons decisions

[Leewr416]

So how many other scooby owners own bikes then? I no longer own any after giving up racing them and i work in a motorbike shop so can pretty much use what i like, so thats why i bought my subaru, and i think black and orange would look good

[Dave]

Black and orange gets my vote aswell.

I'm scoobless at the moment, but spend most of my time on my CBR600.

Hopefully the scoobless part will be rectified in the coming months.

I used to borrow my uncles CBR600fx, that was the first 600 i ever road.. Really comfortable bikes as they are sports tourers...

What Scoob you looking to get??

[Tyler]

Ow and it looks like Satin Black and Orange it is....

[Rikimaru]

Love black bikes, and especially when it's a gsx-r.

Do ride, but only a Varadero 125 at the moment. Not a bad little bike though if I'm honest. About so start my DAS so will move up to something bigger in the summer.

Looking at a blob eye WRX once i get the M3 sorted and sold off. Won't feel as quick as the STI V3 i had before though.

Had a Varadero 125 before the CBR, great bike as its basically a full sized bike with a reasonble punchy engine for a 125.

Just googled your bike and i always used to think they were bigger engines then 125's... They dont look like 125's at all..

Me too, mine is a old one though, it is the 2002 K2 750.... Would love a K7 1000....

This one i think will be my next one!!

Already been down the Rizzla route.... Not to keen on it really...

This is my bike now...





Was only thinking of the colour scheme for the repsol side, wouldnt put respsol stickers over the bike.....

I will come up then and have a little look around your shop then... Any K7's in there??

[Tyler]

Well i started the process of preping the bike to be sprayed.....


Used Fibre glass for the first time and filler too as there was some big cracks in some of the panels... Didnt come out to bad...

Couple of pictures..










Sprayed the rear grab rail, it was a lovely fluorescent orange, but then when I lacquered it, it went to a flat Orange.... Just trying to find out a fluorescent paint that will stay that colour when lacquered....

I'm looking forward to seeing the end result mate

[Tyler]

Back panel is coming along... Just need a little more rubbing down etc...

[Tyler]

Wheels primered....



Painted



and lacured...



Looks much better in person for a DIY job...

[AndyWRX]

Very nice mate comming along nicely

[asperformance]

last gixxer.............


previous track one


and SRAD with similiar wheels

[Dave]

Anyone else notice that the only vehicle you can get away with 3 spokes on are bikes?

Can't wait to see the finished article and the above bikes look great.

Will have to sort myself a track session out soon.

just had a closer look at the rear subframe etc and i can see it now... Good job, was it a straight bolt on??

[Tyler]

Bike done just need to re-do the tank again as it reacted a little with something and the front mud guard is drying...







Ow and one with the Scoob to show that i am still apart of the gang...
