        It's just paint, I wish I could've done powder coating, but oh well.

        The tank and seat are going black, sometime in the next few days, when I got off my lazy arse!

            It was late and dark, and a pita, sorry! lol Will it cause problems??


            Thnaks for the replies guys!
            The direction of the slots of the rotors won't make any difference in the performance of the brakes. Others' opinion may differ. I was a mechanic (front-end and brakes mostly) for 25 years.

              Thanks for the advice on the brakes man!

                    That looks great! You just got me VERY excited about switching to a standard tank.

                                Nice job!!!

                                Look around here: http://omarsdtr.com/vrs.html Surf around and I think you'll find the correct application for your bike.
