Extended swing arm
converted single swing arm
eliminted very big and rigid plate frame with dremel
lowered
painted all fairing white
painted wheels white as well
will be eliminating front brakes as with some drag bikes
Clean up my paint mess that came off my fingers as usual
Not sure if I should atempt to detail engine etc as its one piece molded plastic may prove difficult to paint

Heres some more pics I now swiched the swing arm sides so the open side is reverse of the exhaust to highlight the extend of it. This project wasnt bad but would like to add more detail.

Blown have you started anything yet?
I have picked up a busa by the same brand and started with a comp orange by testors which didnt turn out teh shade i wanted so back to the drawing board. Maybe I will try to mod the fairing and bike to a full drag style bike :)
