That bike is NIIIICE ! I like the custom subframe and sharkskinz paint. And are those painted blue radiator grilles ?! :P

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

Actually the screens were added inside the fairings apart from the grills and they were painted with the body.

Sweet bike !!!

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

I'm usually not a fan of wild paint jobs but this one is tastefully done. I especially like the 3D effect of the lip edges. Really effective. Makes me wish I hadn't just sold my sharkskinz lower. :( Not that I could afford it but what does a quality paint job like that cost out of the left coast?

I hope your client has plans to upgrade the suspenders in the future; make it perform as great as it looks! 8)

Superbling,

Paint job was $1600. Candy blue with silver strip & airbrush shadow as well has yellow hand pinstripe.

The next thing we will do is the complete front end and rear suspension.

PLEASE include some closeups when you post the webpage!

So what direction is he going with the front/rear?

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

He has 2 options he is looking at. First I am a Traxxion dealer so I can rebuild his existing front end. New springs, racetech damper emulator etc... or option 2 would be a CBR954 complete front end rebuilt of course.

With a Scotts damper on the triple.

Probably a Revalved Penskie or Elka in the rear. Possibly a hyperpro.

a thing of beauty. very cool.

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

WOW :!:

The before/after pics really tell the story. That drop shadow makes the pinstripe literally jump off my monitor. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

Your bike looks great. Did you make the diamond plate undertail?

The warning stickers on the swingarm need to go.

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

Yes, all of the fabrication I did in house. The Diamond plate is fairly easy to work with. From pattern to installation took about an hour.

G'day Mike.

Where did you get the anodised frame plugs for the footpeg assembly from? I am after something like this but have not seen any before.

Cheers,
Shayne

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

They are the original foot peg plugs painted blue.

Cheers,

Re: Custom Superhwak........ SuperDUC
 

It isn't rattle can spray paint it is automotive PPG paint with 3 coats of clear.
