Default Polished Lips

I just got done polishing the lips on my 12 tonight. It was pretty easy for the most part, there were a few snags like I didn't have any stands, the front tire was originally gold with a cheap-*** black spray paint can paint job SOOOO the second the aircraft stripper hit that paint on the center hub it bubbled and flaked. So you know know what that meant right.......I had to strip the whole wheel at least to get off all that cheap black paint,,,,,,with the tire on and I got big hands man that sheeat was a beeeatch but I got it done and it looks PIMP! If ya havn't already DO ITIt took me an hour per wheel. Well 1 1/2 for the front. Well worth it! Here'z a B4 pic:

Hey thanks guys. You should have seen it b4 I furred it out. I went down on the left side at like 30 and really messed the fairings up. That was back in July and just like a week ago is when I put that fur on. So for a while there I was ridin what looked to be a junker. Now a week later it has really taken on a transformation for the better. Hey check out this pic. If you look really close the black spots on the fur is latex. Somehow the melted it to the fur. It looks PIMP as hell up close. I just went and power washed it at the car wash this morning cuz it was getting dirty as hell and I was REALLY afraid of it falling alart but it held up like a genuine Kawasaki.

I've gotta ask, sorry but I just have to!!!! What kind of shampoo do you use on it? I'm just kidding, it was just something that had to be asked!!

I really like the look of your bike, it's different!
