I think this bike looks really good in White. Whose white did you use?

Color is standard RAL 9003 (traffic white) with loads of clear coat!

First sneak peek of "The White One".

Just missing the new 3D Decals and "1400GTR" badge on the sides. I also manage to find a very handsome "Kawasaki" badge for the front. The new Datatool Heatgrip with slider-control mounted. Ohhh... my ProjektD Airowing not mounted yet.... so it's 99% ready for go!

I love the way it looks in white, Hans. Great job.

There is another white one for sale on eBay at the moment - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-GTR-1400-/291085735089?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item43c60fd4b1 . White really suits the GTR.

Yep! I did spot that one... I even tried to buy his Corbin Smuggler - but he won't sell it :-(

Anyone up for buying his bike... I'll take the Smuggler for free!!!!!    :mfr_lol:

I have to confess, that does look really good indeed. Perhaps in the future Kawasaki may do one in white as standard.

Hey Hey Hey...

That black one would look just great in white, right?      ;-)

Looks great.

I'd love to take mine white and powdercoat all the silver bits matte black. SWMBO won't approve funding and I have a hard time saving up my allowance.

An impressive display, a bit like the Red Arrows, only they are white GTR's,  :mfr_lol:

And this is final result.....  take notice on the fine little front-kwak logo I found on eBay! Very neat....  :-)

Looking good Hans! (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/cheers.gif) (http://s1200.photobucket.com/user/jaywilcox/media/cheers.gif.html)

Have you thought about doing the wheels in another color?  :undecided:


Title: Re: It begins to look like a complete motorcycle again .....
Post by: Hans on March 02, 2014, 05:53:48 PM
Yes!

They going powder coat black when I change my PR3 to PR4. I just need another 5K (Italy & return) in may ;-)

By the way... first impression for Datatools HeatGrip with slider-control... wow.. they work just great! Really easy to operate. I did a test-run yesterday with the Airowing mounted (cold wind) and they really make a difference. Although I have the PUIG windscreen (a bit wider) they do fit quite good. Cant wait to test in real heavy rain....
