My track plastics...
 

...are on a UPS truck at this moment :willy::willy:

That is all

NICE!

sweet!

awesome, cant wait to see them.

so when they supposed to be delivered?

What brand did you get?

Scheduled to be here tomorrow.

I got the e-racings. I've read that they are adequate. Plus they are cheap. I bought my rattlecans yesterday. Can't wait to get back to the track. Really looking forward to being on the 750 as opposed to the liter.

or so you think...

sadly, that truck stopped in ND... and now they are in my garage, being held for ransom.

Good luck fitting those to the SV :lol:

Congrats man. Can't wait to see what they look like.

Maybe they aren't going on the SV...
Maybe they are going on something else... :skep:

:lol: did ya get something new?

Not yet...
be checking on something this weekend hopefully...
and also letting you all know what it's like to ride a bike in snow/slush.

I would be happy to never know that. :lol:

Supposed to be partly sunny and 30's.
Lets hope it holds true
I won't get a good test ride, but at least i'll be able to feel the bike out... know how i "fit"on it.

I get so impatient waiting for UPS to deliver stuff. Make sure you post some pics, me likey pictures.

is it there yet!?

Scheduled for today.

"On truck out for for local delivery"

what brand?

e-racings

heard good things

me too and cheap :dthumb:

Gonna rattle can them. It's gonna be obnoxious

Yeah, they're like $350, right? I got Attack. So does a buddy of mine who said they're the same quality at half the price, but they don't have indents to ease the hole lining up process. Attack's are on point with that shit. I just drilled the holes where the indents were and they lined up perfect.

did you get a good deal? can you give me a referral. looking for plastics for my 06 r6..

How bout now... they there yet?

Yep

Very nice. Good luck fitting them, get someone who has done it before to help you. Take your time and sand when you need to.

Use zipties to hold things in place.

Better be an 1125R.

umm... maybe... :wink:

Nice... do you have a paint scheme planned?

rattle can... aka utter randomness.

I'd rattle can track plastics... shit I'm gonna rattle can my truck when I get a chance!

RAttlecan bright yellow.

pics or :adopt:

I changed my mind on the flourescent. It took 1.5 cans for the fender, and it still looked like shit.

Going with a bright solar yellow. Well, kinda like the TWFix skin

:lol: I knew that was a bad idea.

Oh, so now you say that :ps:

Someone didn't notice my laughter when you showed me the can the other night did they?

I like the hell out of the color. But I think that paint is meant for more arts and craft type stuff, yard sale signs, etc. It just wouldn't coat for shit.

Yeah I don't think those florescents are meant to paint body work with. What you could do is find a yellow you like and then use the florescent to do a top coat that will give it a bright tint to it.

Yes, I could. But that sounds like waaay too much work for me.

I just hope I can get this damn zuk back together after the track. The Kawi wasn't nearly this tedious.

I'm thinking of just leaving the track plastics on, wiring a light to the front, putting the tail section back on, and off I go

yeah, the honda is a pain in the ass too.

I will say that, so far, it is looking like the e-racings will go on this thing perfect. KNock on wood

pics or I will give you a 3 day suspension.

:twfix:

I'll get some tonight.Hope to have it mocked up tonight

Did some work during lunch. Got the upper on. This is going too well.

Side view. There is a spacer behind the fairing. Bolted right up

Front is held with the bracket that hold the windscreen and mirrors.

Spent $2 on the screws that go where the mirror holes are

You've been hanging around drewpy too much :lol:

I'm dead serious. The swap out is a PITA. I can put a couple of lights in place of the mirrors.

I hope to be doing a trackday once a month or so. I can't see doing this every month :idk:

I knew it was going too well.

There is no way the lowers in this set were meant for my bike. I think I cut about a pound of fiberglass off that damn thing so that it would go on. Still not complaining. You get what you pay for. Also, the DZUS clips would not go on the fiberglass, so I stole the clips off the street fairings and used the allen bolts. I got it together. I'll post a pic after lunch.

Now it is in pieces in the basement ready for paint.

Damn that sucks, but atleast you got it to work.
I bought a set a while back that wouldn't even fit, had to charge it back. It was such crap, that the seller didn't even want it back after I charged it back. He prob figured it wasn't worth the amount he would have to spend to ship it back to him.

So the e-racings website says that most of their bodyworks will not be available due to "changes"! WTF....You guys pimp their product now you can't get them.

really? I wonder what is going on, call cyclesector and see if they can get you the hook up.

The cheaper brands of race-body work most all ways never fit properly out of the box , and require some cutting/trimming to fit (some times a lot of cutting and trimming!).
I'm not saying that all of the cheaper brands are junk, just that they require more patients when installing.
I have used several different "cheaper" brands of body work on my race bikes and the fitment problem that you are having with the lower sounds normal.
The best fitting bodywork that I have ever installed has been Shark Skinz. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for.
I recently helped install race body work from the same manufacturer on two different bikes of the same make,model,and year. One set of body work went on with very little cutting or trouble, while the second set required a lot of cutting on the lower to get it to fit properly.:idk:
Here is a pic of my current race bike. It has a set of Hot Bodies body work on it. It had a "rattle" can paint job on it,until a friend of mine painted it for me. Some have affectionately named her "The Electric Banana" !

Here is a pic of my race bike with the old "rattle" can paint and some cheap fog lights mounted on the upper fairing so I could ride it on the street.

Where's FP been?

i used to swap engines after every race so i could keep riding on the street, did it for two years, bout once a month. stock motor out, race motor in, go race, come back, race motor out, stock motor in. hated it.
