Suzuki Hayabusa...my first bike

Whats up
I got this as a gift for christmas. Ive had my eye on it for a while and finally decided to get to it. I tried some new paint on this one but wasnt too happy with the result. I need to wet sand it anyway before I continue so Ill see how it works out.

Well, I decided to go with a bit of a wider tire so heres what i had to do. Still needs some work.

Stock tire.

new and improved tire

also had to modify a new rear rim


Well thats it for now. Give me some feedback!!!

Hey! Very Big Tire, Where Did You Get It?, What The Final Color Will Be? Are You Going To Tune It Or More Stock Style?

Great work. I've had my eyes on that rear wheel tyre some time, will be interesting to see how it comes out.

Re: Suzuki Hayabusa...my first bike

Got a little more done today. Still got a couple of things to figure out on the rear end. Sorry for the bad lighting.

Re: Suzuki Hayabusa...my first bike

Oooooohhhh yeahh, realy cool, and really good detail, but I agree, too much chrome in the handlebars, maybe if you add foam or texture to the grips, or titanium color, cant wait to see it finished.
Are you going to paint a scheme or flat black?
