Ever since the pictures of 09 released i wanted to get rid of the red bits.

Since there aren't that many mods out yet, I went on ahead to get paint done first.

So my bike had been in the shop for a week or so and here's how it looks now.

I just got it back and i'll get better pix of the pearl when the sun is out tomorrow.

tell me what you guys think. also got some decals from Sal that it'll be put on very soon!

ALL PEARL WHITE 09!!!

Can you say SIIIIIICKKK???!!!

The one at Temple and Grand Ave. :lol

Looks Very Nice Bro, Nice and clean.... Im Curious Tho..!! Did you have the whole bike painted, Or did ya just take the decals off and paint the bottom panels and change out the seats ?And What did they charge you for the PaintJob ? Good luck with it bro...
The wheels were $300 and the fairings were $40/piece for pearl white.
I just couldn't wait and pulled the trigger.

I got all the red bits painted white, u can see the original picture in first page. I also got the seats recovered with black. :thumbup

Man, that looks awesome. One of the best looking bikes from the past was the 93 VFR in pearl white with white wheels. You now have the new, better version. Go light on decals, keep it clean.:thumbup

BTW, do white ones get worse gas mileage? :dunno Seems like she is always at the pump.:lol
