Starting for the "new" look

FrenchieR6 · 09-11-2006, 10:41 PM

Well, today was not only my last track day at Grattan for this year but also for Thumper's street plastic. Thumper, my 04 yamaha R6, his now naked and waiting for the new improved look.

Here's some pictures of before, and the naked ones.

PS: Thanks to the MAN (Michael) behind the street plastic, we had that done in a shiffy....... but dude, no more dancing ok?

I will post more pictures has it gets better.

FrenchieR6 · 09-12-2006, 7:54 PM

Sharkskins just arrived. Getting spray in the next few days. Should have them home by Thursday night.

I'm leaving that to the boys......

kidding........... no, since I only have a week, I'm getting them paint in blue for now so I can get them on the track the 23 and MAYBE the 24. I didn't get them fitted but will next week or like my "good friend" told me, we'll get it done before track next weekend so I'm not worried...

That's cool. we were both so tired and to actually sleep in a good bed at candlestick is a miracle.

Remember what we talked about the hand writting kind of way I wanted? We have all winter......... hey, here's a good excuse for us to hook up this fall/winter.

aint that the truth

- we never did ask what that room normally goes for

- don't know what was better the two bathrooms.. the living room... the two TV's... the mirror walls or the HUGE COMFY California KING BED

yup yup... remember .... I'll throw some your way before too long.. got some other cutting jobs to do once the idiots get their chrome vinyl in

a 2 wk backorder on it yet... have plenty of white already however so that's no prob...

yeah we def need to get together yet this fall/winter... it appears if the weather holds out like they claim I'll be coming down after the Girls Ride on Sat for the BBQ but not sure about staying overnight.. depends on who all else is going and how they plan to go...

Well, it depends.

There's been some good laugh for me on this site tonight. Well needed so thanks.

FrenchieR6 · 09-20-2006, 11:12 PM

Ok. I'm back with my painted Sharkskinz plastic.
The yellow is getting to me but I'm sure I'll find some NEW ideas soon

Here's few pictures. And it's only the start.....

Mojave954 · 09-20-2006, 11:18 PM

Nice, now some leathers to match and you are "golden".

Nicky66 · 09-21-2006, 8:33 AM

Nice V, can't wait to see them on the bike! Get that #24 blasted on there so we don't get confused!

#24? I thought my leather was saying it all

You know that number MOST be on.... it's my good luck #

DreamRyder · 09-21-2006, 9:03 AM

I say get some pinstripes in black and out line the yellow then with your numbers in there black it'll stand out more and look better.. then we can get you your name figured out after that.. but get me a picture of your bike with the plastics on it from the side straight on and I can get some sample photoshop jobs so you can have an idea of what you want where.. it'll make a difference with your stock tank since it's got white.. we need to get some more white on the rest of it somewhere to tie it all together...

Lovin the blue babe... I think that's the same blue in my flag theme on the 929...

Hi E! I think I may be going blue, yellow, and black instead of the white (the tank can be change this winter) But yes, black around the yellow is a most

I will take some Pictures this weekend and will email some to you when I get home.

Lets just make sure we put Frenchie and not FrenchieR.

eyauch · 09-21-2006, 9:22 AM

What no flames.....

j/k No what you really need is to keep room on that plastic for sponsorship decals.

well your name in black may not stand out all that much against the blue.. but we can give it a go .. yeah if you made the tank solid blue then there would be no need to add white graphics

we could possibly try your name in yellow to match the painted plates...

If you can't find the black pin striping .. we can easily cut those as well when we do your name and numbers

making note to not put the R at the end of Frenchie

that was classic.. who was it again that thought it was Frenchier 6 and not Frenchie r6

E.

ALL of them.

Well, I'll take the pictures for you this weekend and will work on it. Wish I had the "technology" where I could copy and paste the stuff on a computerized picture so I could see what it looks like before doing it on the bike.

well hun.. come up to my place and stay the weekend and we'll copy and paste anything and everything till you get what you want.. then I can cut it and send it home with ya

be even better if ya brought the bike along.. we could put it right away

You could get Adobe Photoshop to do your changes on the computer? You can also use the Layer feature to copy paste Layers onto the original pic to see what the changes look like. However it would be time consuming but its a thought.

I do have photoshop at my home computer... Hmmmmmmmm I may check it out next week after i'm back from the TRACK.

DreamRyder · 09-21-2006, 10:24 AM

that's what I wanted the pics from V for... I do all my graphics on the computer first by pasting them on the bike in certain locations and sizes THEN take the idea to my plotter software for cutting out..

It only takes a few seconds to add stuff to a bike pic.. as long as you have the graphics in mind ya want.. which with V it's just her name for now.. which is real simple to do with photoediting...

I'm jealous that you'll be buying Tim's trailer... THAT is exactly what I had wanted to buy in the first place.. but that's ok.. I'm fixen Kawboy's up pretty sweet... looks like new already on the inside.. just waiting for a few things to finish it off...

Lets point out that we know another "Kawboy"

Did you knew that him and his wife bought a house in my sub-division.

Well, picture coming your way soon. Thanks for your help E!
