damn i just realized that , cant keep up with all the posts ... I use to be a one forum type of guy now im all over the place .. But yea as i was saying i love this look and i bet these pipes sound mean as hell MIG duals with custom R1 tail probably hand crafted just for the pipes so they sit flush against the tail and recess into it .. I just dont like the way the tail light is recessed into the tail seems a little odd ... but i cant justify giving the guy my stock tail<which is like brand new > and $300 for this even though the sound and look of duals would prob be worth it ..

I think that taillight is from a Yamaha Raptor fourwheeler. I was trying to convince my buddy to give me his for my fzr hehe.

I just don't understand why he still has the passenger pegs on there. I don't think it would be very feasible to carry a passenger with those on there.

Well i cant leave nuff alone .. So the GOLD wheels bug has hit me ..I've posted how my bike looks lately with decal stickers and such .. now i came across some new 5 spoke R1 rear wheel along with a R6 front wheel that just so happened to be a perfect match to swap/ugrade my 02's 3 spoke stock wheels .. Ive been seeing these racers with the gold wheels that have an anodized finish but cost in excess of 1,ooo to 3-4,ooo dollars .. i bought these wheels for 120 bucks the rear wheel had a pirelli pilot almost brand new on it .. so i stripped the wheels , found somone to powdercoat them gold for $200 including prep . the front rim had a ding in it so i sent to wheel straighting shop . $50 .. ordered new front and rear bearings all balls $100 and rear cush drive and sprocket for the new rim $20 bucks . ordere new rotor bolts frnt and rear ..i sent them to get PC'd july 3rd/ was told one week . calls me a week later tellin me his shit got broken into .thought my wheels got stolen ..then he tells me he needs 3-4 days blah blah BS . so i say just make sure they are good not in a rush for them anyways .. So today i get a call from the dude to come pick them up .. on the inside part of wheel where surface isnt smooth i see some drip spots and tell him either re do it or knock off some $$$ he says hell take ten bucks off im like nah re do it .. or take $50 .. i guess it was more worth for him to take 50 then redo the wheel ..ANYWAYS ,, heres my new 5 spoke oem yamaha stock wheels powder coated in a goldish color even though i wanted more metallic deeper look ..looks kinda too creamy for me .but for $150 with slight blemish powdercoated cant really beat it ... well see when they get on the bike ..

how they looked when i got them

today after getting picked up im sure some would of said keep the rRaven style but that damn red stripe is painted on there or else for sure i would of rocked them like that even though about buying blue tape and putting it over the red but after i seen the blue tape on my stock wheels said WTF powdercoat em






this is kind of the look im shooting for with the wheels ...


so what u guys think ?

Thanks bro .. dunno whats gotten into me .. as much cash as i threw away for these rims and powder coat and and bearings and then to pay dealer to install all this shit again .. i could have a brand new power commander and new adjustable rearsets for sure .. kinda pissed at my self.. only because the color sample of powder the guy showed me looked exactly what i wanted .. then when i went to pick them up.. they look like a mix of yellow and brown like cream when mixed into coffee .. once they are mounted im hoping they look better if not ill just have them powdercoated or sell them on R1 board and get black raven style wheels as i had originally .. but with out the stripe .. i just wanted the 5 spoke instead of 3 spoke .. as for tires my new rear rim came with a michelin pilot power . so i just ordered a front tire today .. $155 shipped cheapest i could find on ebay .. retail is over 200 just for the front tire ... so not tires laying around .. i do have a 150/60 17 though but i dont think thats what your looking for .. .. there are alot of race take offs cheap that i b seeing on CL locally .. if u want i can try to bargain them the cheapest deal for a set and maybe shipp them out to u .. what ever i can getem and cost to ship is what it would cost you i wouldn't look to make anything ..il check around and let u know though can make any promises ..

[haro504]

you worry to much about the color. once you put the rotors, drive, and tires on you wont see much of the rim anyway it will look good. i got a couple of bids on ebay for tires but i keep getting outbid at the end got a while till i need them anyway.

You sure he is not colour blind I have seen custard look more "gold" than that, I would put those on "Yellow Peril " ** it is almost a perfect match for the tank

Shit....leave the paint scheme alone. Polish and port the heads if you want to spend some money.

too late .

Yea last time i goto him but thats what i get for tryin to get best deal for the job should of gone with this other guy ..o well ..

anyhow here's a teaser of half since i have to wait for the tire to come in for the front . I'm sure it will look more uniform when the front it mounted . BTW it started to rain as i was working. I changed my front sprocket -1 i didnt have impact so i took off my sprocket cover rode the bike across the street to BELLE TIRE . I used their impact gun and 36 mm socket <Now i owe them a lunch> Rode back put it up on this $20 stand i got off CL and changed it . Then Spent and hour or 2 trying to mount the new rear wheel wouldn't go in for life of me damn brake hanger . Plus i think the new wheel is wider by like 2-3 mm .. Finally got it in also the New Rear wheels cush and sprocket are 45 teeth my stock was 43 so now i got a oem -1 +2 gearing setup along with supposedly 8lbs lighter wheels .. Driving it home it stopped raining and OMG on the freeway its a torque monSTER .. probably pull 4th gear wheelies even though i wouldnt dare try .. One thing is that it felt like im doing 80 but says 100 so i need a speedo healer also . $100 bucks more to suck out of me ..Cant wait till that new Pilot power front comes in hopefully this puppy rides sooo smooth.. could care less to make it faster ..
