Speed block doesn't flow nothing lines up my eyes are everywhere as Luke said old hat now (no offence)

The LC rocks I'm liking that looks totally different  can you photoshop a kit on the early r1 / lc blue coloured gen 1

 
I personally dont think the 'LC' kits going to work on an R1 as theres just too much of it to fill ? I think it works well on the FZS as they are similar in styling i.e there both very minimulistic in bodywork.
Ive wanted to do one of these for a while now but just not had the time till now, so far the response has been quote positive so it is possible that I may do a few more and in various colours too, black, pink & lime green anyone 

Soz mate I think you read my post wrong not a R1 bike !! I said early R1/Lc blue coloured gen1.

This bike.

OOPS! Sorry, tis a little early 
The early LC was in a lighter candy blue than your bike, the stripes (in my opinion) would need to be either white/grey or white/silver as I think the blue stripes as in my above panels would be a bit much.
Unfortunately ive never used photoshop and im still in the process of trying to take some better/clearer pictures so I can try have a go at something like that 
If I have any joy I will post up my results.

Would be interesting to know the trade in price / ride in ride out.
And do you do the Trafic / base colouring to demand

Please feel free to P.M me and we can take it from there, you can have just about any base colour you like. One thing I will say if you require a colour from a bike that is under 3 years old or in a special effect (i.e H.O.K) then it will be slightly higher in price as I have to source these paints from another supplier (to which I get next to no discount im afraid).
 
Trade in prices are going to be subject to your existing panel condition & colours, also as a small business I do need to turn a small profit im afraid. If you have good undamaged panels your probably better off selling them yourself, unless you do not want the hassle ? (Thats were I come in)
Just to clarify my ride in ride out quote above was meant in regard to the above panel sets, so if you wanted to trade in your existing panels for any of the above refurbished panels you can basically call in to the workshop have the panels swapped over then ride off into the sunset without having to lift a spanner.
My workshop is based in sunny Glossop, which is in the High Peak, Derbyshire (theres some very nice roads up here, so feel free to drop in if your ever up this neck of the woods). Glossop is actually closer to Manchester (which is to the east) or slighter south of Huddersfield, im approximately 80 miles away from Derby & Nottingham (I get this a lot?).
 
Thanks again, chitsu 
 

speed block old hat but luv the lc wots the ride in ride out price pm me

Hi Luke,
I will be in touch either later on today (if I can get in touch with my painter) or later on in the week, ive been meaning to have a chat with you about something else 

As per title, not fussed about colour or even if it has a little damage would be fine.
Please P.M me if you can help.
 
Thanks, chitsu.

Ive got one lying around the workshop, it was removed from a bike in April but it's been sat on an optimate. Oh and im in the northwest of England if thats any help ?

P.S The yellow speedblock panels will be finished by Monday if you are interested drop me a P.M with your email addy & I will send some pics off to you.

any chance you can post pictures here for us all to enjoy?

 
Will look like this except panels will be yellow & the speedblocks will just be black & white.





 
I have a set of  these (red/white & black) graphics in stock aswell as a spare set of panels that are allready in white base coat, these could be ready in about a week.
I am also getting some of the speedblock decals made up in white/blue & black (blue bit instead of the red) feel free to drop me a line if you want a set.

Dream machine charge around a £1000 'RETAIL' for a full bike, but then again it all depends on what sort of thing that you are wanting done and to what standard of finish you are happy with ?
 
 Have a look on here some of the basecoats are around £200 a litre and then you need all the other guff to get the necesarry finishes.

As I said in my previous post most of the newer bikes are painted in inks which are atleast £100 a litre, many of the 'CAR' based body supplies specialists dont do these inks, so you end up having to pay more for the materials as they are of a specialist nature.
I cant see any decent painter painting a bike for less than £400 inc materials, we charge £120 for just a fuel tank if it is a basic colour if its an ink or what not then it's plus the additional cost of the ink.
 

Searched all my boxes of Fazer bits but can't find the fairing brackets sorry. 

Not sure I want to sell discs on their own dellboy. I will be left with a bare wheel which will probably never sell then? Make me an offer.

Replied to your message  about clocks sie.

 List updated again as items have sold.

Sorry to be so mercenary here, but I would give you £30 plus the P&P (as long as it is reasonable) for the wheel if that is any use ?
 
chitsu.

I actually need a very small piece of a 'box eye' fairing

Which bit do you need ? Got one here thats smashed to pieces 

If you remove the infills you SHOULD see some slight chaffing marks on the inside of the fairing, I fit felt tape to the area where it is marked. I also put a little more on the areas of the clear silicone tape & sponge originally fitted at the factory, which will have no doubt gone off by now.

Araldite is absolutely useless on fairing plastics. I use a couple of different ones but these are 2 part adhesives and require special mixing tools, these are ones I use the most: SOL X 'MM' & PU are both good as is TEROSON (TEROKAL I think it's called) also do a good adhesive. As these are specialist adhesives they are not that easy to obtain if you are not within the motortrade.
 
Another good adhesive which you should be able to source from any decent bodyshop supplies is 'Q' Bond.
 
If you are within the North West drop me a P.M as I maybe able to assist you in your plastic repair.

Ok thanks for the heads up about the forum, have been looking for a U.K based forum aswell but not had much look finding one with some recent activity on it ?
I was actually fortunate enough to have owned an old GENESIS model in the late nineties, it was all I could afford at the time, I could'nt stretch my finances enough for the EXUP 
Ive been looking for a couple of months now & ive not really found the right bike yet, but they do seem to be reasonably priced compared to the old GSXR's anyway ?
No one on here got one thenI take it ?
