After losing my cbr600rr red in a horrible accident in which i was hit in intersection , coma for 2 days, i bought a new bike , faster,stronger,louder. I felt no pain for i was unconscious right away. Its been about 2 months with this used gsxr1000 . Pics below of my before totaled cbr600rr and pinky injury, split the tip.No broken bones or nothing serious. Yes i am a tuff 32 year old, no kids,no girl, no worries.Iam in the process of working on my motorcycle rims by Plasti dippin them Blaze blue. Started spraying the black rims and you couldnt see the spray at all. So i bought a white plasti dip can to base the rim,then i sprayed them after the white dried with the plasti dip Blaze blue. Problem is i ran out of the blaze blue and the rims look baby blue.. hate it. i want the classic gsxr blue rims you see around. I know i can do it . I saw a newer plasti dip color called blue metalizer and has shiny flakes in it looks great from the youtube videos of the demo of the product. I am waiting for the metilizer to ship to me stay tuned to this tread for constant pics of me working on the bike. Heres what i did last week as well as a link on youtube of my bike and the plasti dip metalizer spray demo. I am just contemplating if i should spray the metalizer over the baby blue rims or if i should peel the rims off and apply it to the base rim. Stay tuned. (for all those who dont know plasti dip cans are peelable and removable paint in a can of very high quality. I promise iam going to make it look proffessional stay tuned.

Sam, with all due respect ma'am,
I was asking 'Dem Nuts'- the OP
'cause I never saw where he said he had any of it on, and yes, I know what 'gear' means.
Unless you know him and know he was?

I was really wondering if the OP was wearing a helmet, And had any gloves on mainly- night have avoided those injuries if he had.
Hasn't been back on his thread?

I was not high when i crashed, it was an asain guy who swerved into my lane mid intersection , we were both turning left coming off the freeway. also i was wearing full gear, survivor body suit with all armor and aria helmet and cheap ebay gloves that sucked. . still waiting for the paint from ace, its taking forever. In the meantime here is the finished triple tree carbon fiber that i made . ( carbon fiber roll from ebay) Looks preety cool right? it would have cost me 45.00 us dollars for this triple tree carbon cover. Got the roll for 10 or 12 bucks . . still waiting on a special order of paint to due the rims that i will make into blue metilizer like the youtube video. Stay tuned. Anything is possible in life untill you give up on life.

1. Why would you plastidip it? It's clear for a reason, for you to see out of when you're tucked. You're already doing it wrong, just like those idiots that plastidip their tail lights.
A translucent eBay one would have only cost you a few dollars more than that entire can of plastidip, and you would still be able to see something out of it.

OP-
Thanks for clearing whether you had any protective gear when you crashed.
I do hope your head and finger continues to heal well.
Wheelie on, and welcome to Gixxer- GDC

Looking good, I look forward to see how your rims end up turning out.
Don't take anything these peoples say on here too serious, everyone's got their own style and enjoying customizing their own way. I blacked out my windscreen too and can still tuck-it-and-fuck-it..you just can't look right in front of your wheel, but who does that at those speeds anyways? I'm sure some racers will chime in to tell me how wrong I am, but it works just fine for how I ride. :chucks
A little tip if you do end up painting your windscreen again:
Paint it from the inside of the screen instead of the outside, that way it prevents scratching and leaves a very glossy, professional finish.
Welcome Welcome, and good luck on your future customizing :cheers
