so many questions.....
Cam cover color was the Dupli Color Steel, which was discontinued or re-formulated after I did that part, when I tried to do the rest of the motor with the same paint it didn't look the same, and the Iron color I used on the rest of the gray parts was actually a better match then the 3 cans of Steel I still have. Damn shame... that is the color I wanted all over.
Swingarm and frame tabs were all removed as well as the rear section of the frame behind the shock mounts. Pliers, Dremel, angle grinder, C7 cable cutter, Sawsall and grinding wheels were liberally used throughout.
As was mentioned the Rhino Liner is going nowhere. It is nice to drop tools, helmets, and gallons of gas on my tank and not worry. I only wish they would have done the underside of the lid which is peeling rattle can.
The muffler sounds and looks great, and obviously I wasn't trying to be era correct. I never would have popped the $500+ that can retails for, I got it for $50 from my parts guy at the local Honda shop. It came from a tricked out CBR600RR some nimrod who couldn't ride built and proceeded to loop out on it in the first week he had it. Dude had it hauled back to the dealer with massive damage and told them they could have it. The can has a slight scuff on what is now the lower part of the magnesium end cap that doesn't bother me in the least way, and if it did I could drop $20 more then the whole can cost me for a replacement from 2 Bros Racing. The can was cheap, but I payed some A hole at a muffler shop over $200 to fab the slip on and flange bit from stainless, which would have not been bad if I didn't need to drill, grind and cut the damn thing myself for a few hours to make it work. No excuse for the bad work, the guy had my pipes, the can and a CBR gasket to use as a template for the flange for 2 months, it was just shoddy work. Caveat Emptor.
