Blingectomy for the MFP12

After a few months in the shed, the 12 is finally out prowling the streets again. I managed to squeeze a few bits of bling on board, and some other accessories as well.........its looking pretty flash, and sounds better than ever.


Wheels - Polished outer rims, the centres and spokes re-painted in Gloss Black 2-Pack. Thanks to ProblemChild for the paintwork, they look really good in the flesh, far better than the stock flat-black;

Hel braided lines - 3 line kit.

Rear slotted rotor from RatedR parts

Chrome Ninja bar-ends. also from RatedR

Bagster tank bag

Chrome checkerplate for lower centre fairing - keeps the rocks from getting into the bellypan.

Shortened the Yoshi pipe a bit.....well, cut in it half actually. 500mm down to 250mm. Now it sounds *phat*.....

Chrome mesh fitted to all fairing cut-outs

Strobe light kit fitted, from Jaycar

Switchblock fitted inside fairing - switches control Headlights, Strobes, Ignition timing module and front/rear cameras. (Cameras not yet fitted)

Polished numerous smaller parts, including the stock steel rear sprocket - It came up like a plated one !!

Even the chain came up nice and shiny gold with a decent clean....

There are a set of Wet4URacing-copy rearsets coming shortly. They weren't here for this photo session unfortunately.

I intend to fit a set of chromed-centre Galfer discs soon, at a grand the pair, will have to wait until Xmas. I really want a set of these babies. The last brake mod will be a radial master cylinder, perhaps a Gixxer K6, or even AP Lockheed or Brembo. That will sort the brakes right out.

Over winter next year, I will seriously be looking at a Dry NOS system for the 12. That should be exciting .....

Here are some photos of the blinged MFP12....

Lookin' good Gos - I like the mesh inserts in the fairings a lot.

Looking good mate, can't wait to see it in the flesh

Very nice. Saw it outside the Canberra Centre this week (Thursday, I think) - I'd never seen it before, but it's very hard to miss.

thanks kerrist Gos

you have consigned the tech boys rack to the bin

looks good mate


cheers

Smitty

i thought ud gone quiet!!

not bad mate...not bad at all...

will that checkerplate affect the bike (cooling??) in any bad way??

that YO exhuast looks ummm...very GP-ish!!


NOS huh?? fark.... that will be a very fast land barge!!

Fucking Faggot!

Nice work Gos, very blingin'

It will be an honour to inherit this one day ! (in joke)

its already in the will !!

Smitty - that old rack was only done for that 1 trip down to the Supers - it did a great job for one trip - Now I have a decent rack courtesy of 'Groggles Fire Sale' when I picked up all the good bits off his old 12, including a 'proper' rack.....

Dave3 - those mesh inserts are from SAAS (same mob that used to do steering wheels) - only $16 for a 400 x 280 sheet, which was *just* enough to cover all the cut-outs. I used Silastic Black RTV Adhesive/Sealant to attach the sections - it works great.

The cooling slots in the small centre section do SFA I reckon as far as cooling is concerned, but what they do allow is for all the small rocks/pebbles etc thrown up by the front wheel to accumulate in the bellypan over time......

Marty - Kiss my shiny chrome checkerplate arse !! You know ya wanna !!!!

Heh I forgot to tell you that the blue neons are going on next pay, discreetly mounted, along with a set of Tireflies. The neons will be hooked up to the I-pod and 50W RMS amp - , so that when I remotely kick-off the I-Pod, the neons will flash in sync. There is just enough room in front of the rear shock to mount a 6" sub-woofer, with a 1" port and response down to 15Hz, they will hear me in Chile !!!!!!!!

and you think I am joking about the neons right ???...............

Gos....are you serious about the neons and shit, cause I dont know if thats cool

I'm foolly tsick moite

dooofah doofah doof doof doof doofah doofah doof doof dooof

neons are a bit gay..if ur into that and all...

ive heard of guys stuffing subs, speakers and amps in the bike... wouldnt mind it, but all i can think of is the extra weight, fear of it getting wet or damaged..

Onya Poddy, Still lov th' Pipe where'd that come from again ?.

As for the checkerplate plastic matt mate, furdinkum draw me up some cardboard templates & i'll toss together some "Foollee sik" Radector Unobtainium units for ya

wheels look great but if the zrx is anything to go by i bet they look a fousand % better in the flesh.....

love the "oshimura" very GP

Mate, I think that looks great. Polished rims look sweet, pipe is a beaut and the chrome mesh is the mutts nuts.

BUT, and I'm going out on a limb here - I think the checherplate a bit average. It probably wouldn't keep all the crap out, but I'd have used the same mesh as in the cut outs.
