bean07,

Yeah my friend, let me know how you did the break up of the black...

seno,

Thanks, and I like the riser caps and the brake/clutch reservoirs.

Looking GREAT, Bears!! Those grills look like a pro did them.

Seno, you like what you did with your cockpit.

I guess I have some work to do.

Thankyou BearsZX14 I just changed the indicator & tail light plus the Titainium Trioval Slipons & the standout AC/DC tank protector with the same coloured stickers on the front Fender ya know mate just to make her look a bit differant from Stock.......

Looks good. The gen mar bar riser caps like to be powdercoated, did mine 2 years ago and still look like new.

Hey that paint looks nice and clean. really poppin, good job

wow that paint job came out great! so much better then my disastrous attempt. i guess it really is all in the prep!

Thanks guys! I still need to paint the front fender, mirrors and the clutch/brake caps. I finally received my ZG sport touring windscreen. The ZG changes the look of the bike from the DB. So far the ZG is working out good, a little bit more wind protection than the DB.

I hope to paint the rest of the parts this weekend. Once that is complete, I'll post up more pics!

Later!

I should have pics up tomorrow sometime of the painted caps and fender. I decided not to paint the mirror fins. looks pretty cool, I think.

I also painted the ZG windscreen black, only the lower portion that is behind the dash. Pictures will show it!

Okay, here are a few pics of the painting in progress...

Now with the parts back on...

Then this one of the ZG Sport Touring screen that I painted the lower half that hides the wiring and the rear of the dash... sun glare...

Guys, let me know what you think...

I think she looks really good Bears.Did ya ever get that 12v deal sorted out.There was another member here who installed a 12v power adapter with the same results...a dead battery.Is this adapter like a pigtail that comes off the battery?I know there's a few different kinds of plugs for those..like a BMW style or co-axial?IDK what could be causing a 'short' across that plug....why would it be draining your battery?

Not bad at all BearsZX72 ! IMO ya got to get rid of the Cannons LOL just my

IMO ya got to get rid of the Cannons LOL just my

+1. I think a set of Akky would complement this bike. but then again I understand if you're a purist when it comes to the performance parts. Why change something that's working?

Thanks for the replies and comments! You guys are the best!

Yes the 12V issue is gone, I'm not sure why but all I did was get a new battery. Once I installed the new battery, no more power issues. I would assume that the stock battery was going and the 12V power toasted the old battery. And yes the adapter is a pigtail that hooks directly to the battery terminals.

Well, I too think I need a new set of cans, but it's all about the $$$$! I would love a set of Akky cannons but...I m putting money into my newly purchased 5 acres of land. Today I'm getting the lot surveyed and shelling out $850 for that. Then comes fencing, land clearing, a water well and start building a custom house. Of course this will all take time, like 2 - 3 years.

Nice!! We talk about all kinds of purchases but owning land is such a wonderful thing to if you can. That is something that gives you a secure feeling--knowing you have your spot in the world. Enjoy that for many many years to come, bears.

The 14 looks great too.
