Title: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: moho on February 27, 2012, 12:04:12 PM I know I don't have a thousand posts but I thought I'd share an see what the boys think.
it was my plan all along to get a black kit...... it just took a lot longer to find one than I thought I'm loving it an yes, that's why I posted.

I think it would look a lot better if you made the forks black somehow and put in a silver or black pressure plate, the gold clashes a little.

And that red frame against the black is the [bacon] [bacon] [bacon]. if I were to change anything it would be: 1. Chop the cans 2. Replace pressure plate with a red one 3. Maybe black out the forks.

Although I like the bike the way you have it, a little less yellow/gold would be less "distracting". But it's fantastic the way it is. You don't see a black on red S4R everyday.

Keep it as is. Seriously It's a great balance. Haven't you been pulled over for that license plate yet? It's sticking straight out [leo] Title: Re: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: tlh235 on February 27, 2012, 06:27:19 PM I know I don't have a thousand posts but I thought I'd share an see what the boys think. it was my plan all along to get a black kit...... it just took a lot longer to find one than I thought I'm loving it an yes, that's why I posted.

Title: Re: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: moho on February 27, 2012, 09:54:20 PM Thanks for the input, the gold pressure plate an the red fixie chain was on it when I bought it, I'm not a super fan of either..... So if someone wants to trade a dp gold pp for a black one??? please don't make me rattle can it [bang]
yes, I would love to do the forks black, especially the axel / caliper mounts, just not sure how I want to go about it. suggestions?? Title: Re: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on February 27, 2012, 10:08:04 PM black vinyl, soapy water and a heat gun until you need to replace your fork oil.
then take them completely apart. anodize the fork tubes black and powdercoat the lowers black. send out the pressure plate at the same time for either anodize or PC. you could also do the tail chop bracket,headlight ring, case covers, bars, rear spring (one thats suited to your weight) and re-do any of the faded anodizing at the same time... if you felt like it ;) bikes looking good, nice and clean.

Quat D Exbox Title: Re: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: tlh235 on February 28, 2012, 06:39:39 PM Quat D Exbox is that only for the 796 and 1100 monsters?

Title: Re: S4RS Color Tank Swap before/after pics Post by: Thermite on February 28, 2012, 09:06:11 PM Red anodized pressure plates just don't hold up to the red frame. The gold is nice with the Ohlins forks. Leave it unless you do the forks different.
Looks great.
