I already decided on the paint theme this picture is very close of what I want to do but my rear will be half black and the air ram will be black outline. Yup doing a whole swap rear too. Change some stuff but basically going to look like this. I did my pair removal already since i have the bike apart already and move some brackets. Also I drilled out the right exhaust restriction with the 38mm hole saw. Ride like a different bike which is nice.Thinking about tackling the TPS next but unsure right now. Will update when the project start.

White & black should look good.

This blue superhawk is the only one that i have seen with RC51 fairings that looked right, all the other RC51 fairing swaps that i have seen just didn't look like they should be there. I think you need to get the positioning of the fairings just right or it looks all wrong.

Just my 2 cents.

His superhawk is what i'm going off of.. I read his thread all the way to see how he line it up and I move my bracket to his spec already.. I just found out something.. My girlfriend is coming to visit on the day my fairing get here.. Can't work on it next week.. hahahhaa I agree too his bike look natural.

Update so far just painted the fender and the tank. What you guys think? not bad for Krylon rattle can right? Krylon clear coat

Lookin forward to seeing that done.

Hey swap what kind of paint did you use to paint your frame? Can you give me some tips? Sanding and paint type?

Ya I just used engine enamel (flat black) with the same brand of engine primer. It really wasn't too difficult, just take your time taping everything off (if your going that route) and sand with something pretty abrasive. I started w/ 60 grit and worked my way to 300 or so. It stuck well, but I let it cure for about a week before I even handled it.

man you tape yours? if you did. That look like you literally took it apart then paint it.. yea I want to paint my frame but I didn't want to take out everything just to paint the frame. thanks for the tips man appreciate it

Update just got the frame painted.. turn out pretty good. 2 more days until fairing get here but the shield is not here yet. oh well i got plan b. Want to paint my crankcase and stator cover but just found out they are paper gasket not plastic. so i just wait until i order some.

well got everything back together but been reading up on tps. My bike run great with the spec it have now but you know you always have the thought what if.. so i coudln't stand it anymore so i decided to reset my tps and see if it make it run even better.

Ok almost done only thing now is mesh it which is waiting to find a good one but this is pretty much it.. Finally .. Its not easy I wouldn't do this again.. hahhaa Worth it but pain in the ass. by the time i'm dont i pretty much cut 1/3 of the fairing.. I have to use my hawk shield for now not great but my rc51 shield have not arrive if it even would have to email the guy i hate when people do that.. she came together real nice.. I got some seat on it i made look really good i will put a picture of it one pretty soon this is the only one i got for now. Tell me what yall think

Lookin' good :)

Yea i been waiting for the faring for a week. When the UPS truck pulled up I acted like a kid on christmas morning and i want it on. My friend walk out and told me to take it easy other wise i owuld fuck shit up. I didn't listen!! I fit it in notice that the PO dropped the bike on the right side and bend the mirror support so I have to bend it out to have perfect fit, painted and was done in a day.. hahhaa. Oh and the frame it was not too bad just take alot of time covering everything up and all. I have to cut the whole bottom section of the fairing. The fairing arrive but was not good quality they did not cut it right so you have to come in and cut it down a little here and there. The only thing left is mesh the hole and it will look nicer.

Thanks

BIG PITA!

Just got my RC51 shield in.. Installed it, look a lot better.. I just went to a decal place and have them make some stickers for me.. They say they will have it done in 10 days.. 10 DAYS!!!! you're kidding for some numbers and some words.. LAME!!!!! but i have them do it anyways.. will post new picture in 10 days i guess.. been looking up and down for some mesh no one seem to carry it so have to make a trip to the next biggest city. not today of course 30mph wind gust.. Anyhow have full stock fairing here if anyone is interested PM me

For some one that works as fast as you, a 10 day wait must be hell :).

As for mesh, i saw some one go to a local office supply store & by a cheap mesh waste paper basket, then cut & roll out flat, then you have some mesh ;). Some times you need to think outside the box .

They are cheap & come in different colors, black, silver, white.

Dude your a genius. I never even thought of that, I have 2 of them in my house.. hahahha Dude thanks...

I think the black mesh would look better. Kinda hate when people put mesh on their bike with a color that sticks out..

sorry guys was gone for 2 days.. left my bike 200 mile away due to rain.. I have received the pm about the stock fairing and replied already..
