Well, I've spent the last few days madly painting to get the Rap ready for licensing. It's booked in tomorrow to get inspected and rego'd as it was accident damaged when I bought it. I had replaced all the bent and broken bits and modified the bits I can't buy anymore so there was just the panel/paint to do. The tank and front mudguard still need to be cut back and polished but that'll have to wait til the weekend as the paint won't be hard enough yet. It has terrible orange peel. I'll ride it around in its current guise for the summer (providing it passes licensing...lol) and maybe, depending on finances, make the cafe racer out of it during the winter months next year when it's parked up in the garage. The exhaust will be different so I'm not wasting money replacing the dented muffler, especially when a RHS Staintune pipe costs $800...!!!!!! and that's direct from them too. If there is anyone on here that has a damaged LHS Staintune and wants to replace it with my good one, I'll sell it to you for $500 (it's like brand new) and I'll be able to buy two cheaper mufflers.
The seat was supposed to have been re-shaped and recovered at Scotts Trimmers in Wangara but two and a half weeks wasn't enough time for them to do it so I pulled it out. Can't license a bike with no seat!! Anyone know of a good trimmers in the northern suburbs of Perth?
I've got some ideas for tank decals but need a good printer to make up the stickers. Anyone know of a good sticker printer in Perth?
I've got a tail tidy on the way but can't fit that until it's been through licensing. The wheels will be painted as well, but not sure what colour combo the cafe will be yet. They will probably end up silver or black.
What do you guys think?
or something like that also there's a couple of hangers on italy ebay somewhere.
