New Look for my '05 Factory

BRBJackson · Jan 30, 2010

OK, long story short, I binned the T back in November, and have now gone in a totally different direction, looks-wise. Though I have adored this bike more than life itself, there were a few things that I was less than enamored with, and this is my chance to change them all:

Carbon Fibre Bodywork... What am I, a 17 year old Asian kid? If I really needed to shed weight, I'd just eat a lighter breakfast :rolleyes
BLUE ******* wheels... God I hated them.
What is with the stripe-y, number plate-y, lightning-bolt-y decal job? Am I supposed to be a superhero? A ****? Both?
Gold handlebars. So stupid, so sad.

The CF bodywork is all getting painted to a semi-matte black finish (3 weeks away), the wheels have been Powdercoated flat black, very few of the graphics will be reapplied, and flat black Rizoma handlebars have been sourced. Attached are a couple shots of the ongoing transformation. More as this progresses. Any suggestions, comments, death threats, etc?

And you kids get off my ******* lawn :kicknuts

Bars do indeed look nice.

Although needs to be the right colour bike to do that.. yours manages it.

Personally i LOVE the Blue wheels.

Sorry, yes, those are the Rizoma reservoirs. I got the ones with little sight windows, not because they're at all functional, but they look cool...

UPDATE: The bodywork just got back from the paint shop late yesterday. I'll be posting finished pics later this week.
