Chasing 1800c tank, fenders and side covers

[bunji]

Hi guys, anyone sitting on any of the above you might want to get rid of. I want to have a go at custom airbrushing a matched set for the X. I thought rather than do mine I'd have a go at a spare set.

[Ausvtx]

Hi Mate, I have a set of side covers from an 06 1800c. they are black, in good condition.
Let me know if you are interested.
Craig

[bunji]

Sounds good, what do you want for them?

[Ausvtx]

PM me your address and you can have them, you just cover cost of postage.
Craig

[bunji]

Thanks Craig, the sidecovers arrived safely. Just got to source the fenders and tank, I will try a few of the wreckers around town and see what comes up.
I'm only just starting out but here's a few of the things I have been doing.

Once again thanks
Dirk

and a few more

Looking good mate. You've really got some talent mate. I have troubles drawing stick figures.

[bunji]

Thanks Simon, I've got a long way to go before I'll be anywhere near as good as some of the guys out there, but I think I'm ready to have a go at some tins.
Like most things it's all about knowing the tricks and for that I did a short course.
It all started because I wanted to get the headlight painted to match the pattern on the X and either no one would take it on or I had to take out an 2nd mortgage, so I thought stuff it I'll do it myself.
The course cost less than the cost of painting and cutting stickers for the light.

been a while since we met up Bunji ,hope all going well mate

[bunji]

I'm good thanks Sheepie. Kids sports seems to take most of my time over winter so I haven't been getting out as much as I'd like.

[Sheepdog_AU]

Yeah been awhile,now living at Greenbank,moved from Springfield a few months ago,hopefully a lot more weekend riding.Doing a lot more Ks to work now(26ks one way) against 7ks i used to do.

Doing a lot more Ks to work now(26ks one way) against 7ks i used to do.

Yeah that would be a real shame

[bunji]

Yeah, must be a hassle hey Although depending on where you work that road can be a real pain in peak hour.
Often thought I would like to move out around Canungra way, but I don't know where I would ride to

[big hanno]

Mate, you could give Little Mick a run for his money with air work like that...

[bunji]

Thanks Hanno. I wish, he's probably forgotten more than I'll ever know.

[Ausvtx]

I do hope you realise I will need those side covers back after you have painted them?.........Cant have your great work in danger.........so I am prepared to protect them by attaching them to the side of my bike.......no thanks necessary.

Craig

PS I can do the same with a tank!

[bunji]

Side covers, what side covers Actually I'm having trouble finding a tank and front guard - nothing around any of the Brisbane wreckers at the moment.

[lordoss]

nothing around any of the Brisbane wreckers at the moment.

damn VTX riders who don't crash.....

[bunji]

Yeah, we either have very safe bikes, or we're all excellent riders doesn't matter as long as we keep on keepin on.
Sunny side up eh

[Ausvtx]

Have you had any progress on your painting?

[0081XTV]

Haa... was reading this thread and thinking, wow there's some members posting in this thread that haven't posted for quite a while. Then i checked the dates .

Must admit, i don't post much any more either but i still check in regularly.

[bunji]

Hi Ausvtx
still having problems finding parts locally, and it has been difficult getting people in the US to post 2nd hand bits to OZ, have moved onto a couple of other projects in the mean time. I'm still very keen to paint up a set. Did get a bit silly and painted up a VTX radiator grill. I will post a pic later when I get it off the phone.
