This was a raven when I bought it, but at the time it seemed like 75% of the bikes around here were black, so I decided to have it all painted white, with a flat clear coat. Here's a list of mods:
Gregg's Customs flush mount blinkers
Custom LED tail light integrator
Custom LED flasher relay
Graves license plate bracket
Zero Gravity smoked windscreen
Galfer stainless steel braided brake lines in black
Powdercoat:
Front and rear wheels in gold (new OEM wheel bearings installed)
Center of front and rear brake rotors in gold
Rear sprocket in gold
Clutch and brake lever in satin black
Rearsets and passenger's pegs/brackets in satin black
Gas cap in satin black
Michelin Pilot power rear tire
Artfibras seat cowl
Corbin seat
Akrapovic carbon fiber slip ons with DEI heat wrap
Gutted cat w/ DEI heat wrap

On to the pics:

I also have a white/red 09 R1 but that one is all stock with a few powdercoated parts, so after that gets some good parts I'll take pics. This one needs to be sold first.

very nice. since you are trying to make it different; I would leave the R1 stickers on the front and back and remove the ones from the sides as you already have the giant yamaha forks there.

Sweet looking bike, except the tuning fork logo's are the wrong ones . . . those logo's are for Yamaha's musical instruments division. See logo below for Yamaha motorcycles (tuning forks extend into outer border) :secret:

It looks awesome except for the stickers. I was thinking of painting mine flat black, now maybe white. :)

They are all powdercoated.

Wow I was unaware that there was a difference. Thanks for pointing that out.
