My turn to make a thread.

Here's a before picture. Stock bike, no changes.
(Forgot to take a proper picture before I started taking off the chromed parts.)
Sym Husyk 125 1997 parked next to my red Suzuki Katana GSX600F

Here's the plan, which might change.
  • In progress - Chrome parts, exhaust shield, frame fairings, and teardrops are to be painted a flat/matte red
  • Not done - Glossy black metallic is to be repainted to a matte black/dark grey
  • Not done - Handlebars (current ape-hangers) are to be replaced by a drag/straight bar. Controls will have to be remounted.
  • Not done - Rear fender is to be cut off right behind where the sissy-bar ended. Rear light will have to be moved or replaced.
  • Not done - Need to install new rear indicators, yet to choose what model.
  • Not done - Backseat and sissy-bar are to be permanently removed.
I'll try to keep this thread as updates as possible, adding in extra comments where useful.

Tagging @MrAaron because of the red Suzuki.
[DOUBLEPOST=1460941996,1460863482][/DOUBLEPOST]17/4 - Took off all the chrome parts that I want to have sprayed. Most parts already have a layer of primer paint. Exhaust is fully done already, might consider a different finish on the exhaust.
