Yeti's front end is going to change... Already made the mockup... Nevermind the rim's color... 3 different brands just in the front... Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki... This is like the Scrapyard Wars... he he

Im not sure cuz I dont care about any awards but i guess you need to make your v-max looks like that:

the paint job is inspired of a comic named Succubus.
I read it when I was in France.
Violent and a bit hardcore :p

The lady is Heavy Metal inspirated for sure.
 
Those R1 calipers do really brake good... :biglaugh:

I sideswiped both cars like ricocheting on each one of them on both sides. In the end i was able to keep the bike with rubber down but when i stopped after all the crashing and swerving i fell to the side coz i wasn't able to put my feet on the ground with both ankles broken... I got less aparent damage with scraped mufflers, broken rad and multiple broken engine covers... Besides the fact i stayed in hospital for a month. :stretche:

They had a cute nurse though... :th_people557:
 
:surprise: HOLY SHIT Fred,I didn't realise when you sent that pic you'd actually bought Grizzly!!

Look after her,dude,that bike is a fucking icon in the UK and one I've followed through the magazines for years. :worthy:

Oh,the paint is 'Lady Death' guys...check it out.

Well... Today i got the fiber on... Tomorrow some more sanding and another layer of fiber. After that it will be carved on the inside to remove all the foam and get some more fiber on the inside for stiffness...
