Re: Tamiya Yamaha R1 Raven - First Build in Years!

I drilled out the holes on the exhaust clamp...directions say to paint the holes black, but I think it looks way better seeing the carbon through the holes.

And a pic of the completed exhaust..from this angle, you can see a bit of the carbon through the exhaust clamp holes.

Here's a shot of the almost completed tank/frame. I'm pretty happy with the glossy shine after sanding/polishing

Re: Tamiya Yamaha R1 Raven - First Build in Years!

And after about two months, I have finally completed my first motorcycle model. I'm pretty happy with the results. Soon I will take some pics of my model and real bike together. Comments of all kinds are welcome. Thanks!
