Hi someone cant wait anymore so i mounted the panels yesterday . So this is how it look't last fall. And this is how it look's now And some closeups Now it's just out and ride it . Cheers Maveric

Thanks for the comments .. Now i will continue the story of my project. after i had put the primer on i got over the parts with some vet&dry 800 grid and painted some parts with white pearl.. and some parts with the same paint as the frame And when it was dry i masked it up for a coat of Boost blue pearl . Starting to see a pattern . And here is the tank with some airbrush (eyes and Suzuki logo). The eyes was my whifes idea (probably her keeping a Eye on me) LOL and the logo is in two colours to make it look like it's hovering over the tank. The side panels was the last part that i decided how it will look like (acually was not decided before this last friday) painshop idea And the finished look If anyone wonder why the nr:21 it's simply my lucky number no other relation . When i sprayed the tank and the frontfender the idiot "me" forgott to adjust the amount of paint when i cleaned the spraygun , so a copple of nice "paint curtains" emerge in the clearcoat . So i had to wait untill this sunday to rub the curtains down and put 2 more layers of clearcoat on ,but now it's ok . And this is how the finished result look like . on the front fender i did a little twist ,i put some old school fireflames just for fun close up close up on the eye's i ment tank LOL This is as far i'm at the moment ,got a permit to store all new painted parts on our second floor inside the house to let the paint harden before i put them on sometime end next week almost cant wait I also have another thing to tell ,a copple of weeks ago i did a new dynorun (power run) coz i was not pleased with the result last fall (156hp/155mn at the rear wheel) that time it was running lean. Now i have tuned it in and changed the cam settings for a higer rpm torque , and i pay'd up i now have 168hp/160mn at the rear wheel think it's ok if you now a stock one has 102hp in the motor . Happy as a lottery vinner if all goes as plan i'm on my way to UK 6:th of august trying to do a ironbutt (1000miles in less than 24hours) and a bikemeet at old George Sykeshouse with the GSX1400 owners se if we meet at the roads . Cheers Maveric

Thanks all . And i have started the thread look here /t9005-a-complete-change-of-paint-to-my-trusted-bike-during-vinter-2013-spring-2014#117083 Cheers Maveric

Hi here starts the story of my descition to make a change of paint scheme on my GSX1400 -07 . It all started with i noticed a lots of stone chips on the frame after used the bike for 40000km ,so i decided to repaint the frame. Here is a pic of how it looked in oct 2013 the week after this pic i started the diassembly, a complete stripdown except the motor. now the "fun" started this frame was no beauty regarding he welds , all the "gravel" like thats are around a weld they have not sanded away before paint . So a lot of hours later i was done with it and put the primer on at this stage i had also removed the mountings for the horns (hidden the horn under the tank) . Some paint and clearcoat it looked like this changed colour from black to grafite gray metallic . Then the fun started put all together again it's really nice when all things are clean . At the same time i changed front springs to progressive ones a good decition i can say now . Even made a little twist with the vin plate, see if you can see the difference At this point i decided to do something about the wheels too ,so i removed all the text on the spokes except the Suzuki logo. Then the same process started again primer Paint same as the frame Painted the Suzuki logo red . and this is how it looks if i says it myself . even the calipers got some attention with new seals and paint this is how it looks right now. But it's not over yet . As i have a complete set extra containing tank, rear end, sidepanels and front fender. i started to do a lot of thinkering what to make with those parts , and two weeks ago i had decided on a paint scheme. so the hole process started again . and there i stop for tonight will continue tomorrow . Cheers Maveric

Hi have not been online here for a while due to a lot of work related and other projects. but have now got a little less things to keep in the air so now i'm BACK . Have done a complete paint work on my bike and i mean a complete paintwork . Will start a tread about it here under project section but i start tomorrow coz it's time for a nap now. Cheers Maveric

Dave You can Always go this direction if you want some serious miles . But if you are choosing Scotland go for the Highlands and the road betveen Scourice to Inchnadamp (thats the road i was filming 2010 and put on youtube as MCR8)Loots of twisties and nice senery . Cheers Maveric

Callendars arrived op north too cheers Chad

Payment for two calendars sent . I PM you my adress Chad Cheers Maveric

will check if there are any more here that wants a calendar but i will pay by sunday anyway. Any more cost for the P&P to sweden Chad ? Cheers maveric

Bought there earlyer version last vinter and mounted on my GSX1400 , and works like a charm . Flashing green when it's enought power and go Yellow when you need to engage the charger ,and when you ride it can monitor the charging that also have been known to be a problem on this bike model . So guys buy one you wont be disapointed . Cheers Maveric

A complete diassembly of the bike and do a repaint of the frame . Maybe even a complete custom paint job as i have a extra set of tank, rear end , sidepanels and frontfender . Maybe also going to put progressive spring in the fork's . And this is how it look's tonight Cheers Maveric

Thanks for all the birthday wishes Mate's , have been a great day even as i had to work but i have relaxed tonight with a copple off beers and a small glas of laphroaig . Dont feel any older (just 18 in my mind ) still the body is not as it have been though . Cheers Maveric

Hi Yesterday i done a power dynorun just to see if i got it right, last time the 1550 kit was on the dyno on a friends bike it made 154hp/154nm and today it was 156.68hp/155.51nm stock gsx 1400 has 106 engine hp . Not totaly happy with that as i had hope's of hitting 160hp . But the dyno guy said if i do some adjustments to the afr table it will probably go around 165hp . So as a note the autotune is a little lean in it's value, if it show's for example afr13,2 it's acually afr13,7 . As a result i have now made the afr table ritcher for example in the 100% trottle region i change from 13,2 to 12,6 as a test just to see if i can notice any difference in power. One thing we noticed was i got a very straight fuel reading not jumping up and down so thats good . But the forcast this weekend is not good biking wise so i have to wait for better weather and continue to testride it futher. Cheers Maveric

Big respect def. brought a tear or two . Cheers Maveric

Have MOT the 1550 beast this evening with flying colors ,and it was a rerun from last MOT i did with the other 1400 when it was converted with the 1550cc kit last fall the wery same that are on my bike now (154 rear wheel hp). When he accelerated to do the braketest he popped a wheelie this time too . And asked me after if i maybe have done something more than the acra full system Maybe cams perhaps sniger sniger . Said nothing about the sound perhaps that have something to do with MOT'ed a friends Ducati Desmocedici with Termignoni full system before my MOT ,man what a sound pure porn . So i thank'ed the MOTman when i left with doing the same as he a nice wheelie Cheers Maveric
