This is the "BEFORE" picture...
|
|
...and this is what it will look like when it is finished.
(Pictured edited in Photoshop)
|
|
|
These are some before pictures of the frame and engine.
|
|
|
|
|
This is how the frame and engine turned out, but the colourful rear still has a bit sanding to be done.
|
|
|
|
|
The fairing is fixed with ABS plastic cement since some tabs are missing and the plastic needs reinforcement.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the ABS cement can, and the small pieces that go up along the windscreen pillar on the inside ready for painting.
|
|
|
|
|
The small strip behind the turn signal is gone and needs to be replaced.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the old strip (lower), and the new strip (upper) to be put in place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And some sanding needs to be done.
|
|
|
|
Some more sanding to do for the ultimate finish.
|
|
|
Primered and ready for painting.

A colourful bike after sanding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fuel tank clean with little dents.........
|
.........and the dents fixed.
|
The plastics and fuel tank ready for painting.
|
|
|
Different stands for paintjobs, and the new HVLP spray gun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old helmet needs painting too.
The painted filler panel next to an original one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rims grit blasted.
The new Michelin Macadam 100x tyres. The stand for painting also works as a balancing stand.
|
|
The frame waiting......
|
|
......for the new painted wheels.
A very good result.
|
|
All the black parts get painted and clearcoated.
Even the old helmet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fuel-tank gets its paint and stripe kit. And clearcoat.
|
|
|
|
|
The final assembly is started.....
|
......and the finished result.
|
|
Once again the before picture....
And the finished '87 CBR1000F.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
End of story......
