Thinking about painting the "air ducts" .





I have the all black bike and have added some carbon stickers etc and red rim tape just to brake the full black look up abit ,so im thinking about painting the air ducts {yes I know they are fake} in a dark red .

Thoughts???

Seen on another gsxr forum ,they said just tape up the area and spray it several times in colour and same with clear ...seems easy enough and I guess if I don't like it I can spray it black or silver again.

See how the blue bike has them in black and they stand out and look abit like eyes.



But on the meaner looking black bike ,you can't even see them at all .

I am curious to see what that would look like. I say try it. If you dont like it you can always paint it back the way it was.
I recomend matching the red pigment of the rim tape just to have some sort of uniformity look to it.
If you do it, take pics and post it.

Yeah ,match up the colour of the F on the sticker and the rim tape ,also getting a red number plate this week ,with GSX65 ,so it should match up.

Had some time to kill today waiting for contactors that didn't show .

So anyways I had a play ,got pictures step by step update thread later its bike night .

Ok whats your thoughts .

The only one that are on it are the 2 at the front ,the others where only on with sticky tape.

Next project ..

There it 1 rubber gromet inside under the cats eye in air ducts ,would be good for a neon red light ,for a laught ,...I have to much time to kill some times.

Bloody excellent, looks much better, more aggressive and detailed. Good work.

Very nice!

Love it! Might match the grey pinstripe on mine and do a similar thing (since I've not got the all-black model).

Really nice job!

Looks great. It seems that it would only be fitting the black bikes. I dont think it would look good on the blue bikes like mine.
I just may stick with the blue/white color scheme for now.

damn you for making me have to take my bike apart in the near future!

looks great.

Looks mean!!!

DagNabit!!! I can't see it till I get home.

Sleddog - Dude that looks awsome - nice job.. Man I wish the all black was available here - I would have bought that in a heart beat (I am a sucker for all black or all red bikes).... I just noticed the mesh over the fairing openings - is that custom or stock on an Aussie Bike??

Dwayne

No I did the mesh also. .

I did take the fairng mesh off ,looked abit to Bling bling ,but might put it back on ,one day.

Thanks for the replys ,it worked out nice I'm happey with the red air ducts.
