Title: Color Swap S2R........
Post by: Labbedds on June 02, 2008, 09:06:43 PM
So I've been thinking, I really like the red on white version of the s2r, but me thinks I like the dark more.  Would it be better to have everything painted, or switch out with someone who has a dark who wants red on white with black subframe???

Dark with red frame would be bad ass...

That's what I'm sayin', it would be like s2r with 695 color schemet.

I agree.  Hindsight being 20/20, I wish that I had gotten a red S2R instead of the black one.  That way I could just either paint, or swap out the body panels for black and have the 695 scheme that I lust for.  ;)

I'm also thinking of doing the dark grey s4r color scheme with red subframe.

You mean the Senna?  That would look great too, but I think the black on red would stand out a bit more.  You could REALLY pull off the Senna if you were to powder coat your wheels red though.   [thumbsup]

day-um, folks, thanks ... This bike is what got me into modding just for looks.  ;D  [roll]

Here's the link to the gallery (http://pics.livejournal.com/ca_cycleworks/gallery/0000gg7t?page=1).

I've got some of the black GSXR forks for it and just need to finish putting the front end together. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to rig another fairing but with a cutout for the headlight, so I can always have this bike be black.  ;D

btw, it's one of the MH900e bikes. More product-type pics with the bike here (http://ca-cycleworks.com/shop/catalog/mh_tank.html) and here (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/docs/156/products/mh-tank/mh-battery-tank-install-notes.html).

:) Chris

Wow, that thing is gorgeous.  Not senna, like 2007 s4r grey w/ black and red subframe, black wheels.

I would just get another tank, cowl, windshield and front wheel cover in Black.  That would be kick ass.  That is what I intended to do this coming winter, then you can just switch back and forth. 

Get a ticket.  "My bike is clearly red and white.  Not black.  He must have been drunk." and vice versa.

Labbe,

I've got a black (not dark) s2r 800. I'd like to see what it looks like with the red stuff...

Anyone got pics?

Not exactly a direct comparison, but here's my red/white S2R800 (http://pics.livejournal.com/ca_cycleworks/pic/00006tyz/g5).

I would also like to trade my red S2R800 tank and seat cowl for a gloss black one. I dont really need the front fender or head light fairing. Mines in good shape with only one scratch.http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/Dubiel/1212-1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/Dubiel/222.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/Dubiel/123121.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/Dubiel/2233.jpg

huh? The mufflers? Or the restrictor tips? I don't have the tips. Makes the bike too quiet, imho. We can sell the end caps if you have non-restrictor type and want the ability to use the restrictors. We can get the end caps in caaarrrrrrbon, too.  [evil]

Oh - forgot: please email us on orders@ca-cycleworks.com for quotes. I think the normal replacement end caps are $239 for both.

Of course I am trying to get that colour scheme. I would also add my own touch it. [moto]

don't know where you're located, but I'd trade you in a heartbeat if my S2R Dark tank didn't have the cellulite problem. Red tank w/ white stripe on a Dark model would look really good. Fender would have to stay Dark though, for me at least.

cellulite problem???  Oh and I have a cf front fairing so we'd be good to go.  I'm in San Francisco
