Here is some updates from the last time I posted pics. Sorry they are bad quality cell phone pictures. Left side upper to mid is not mounted yet hence the gap. They really turned out great. Im still waiting on mounting my HMF black high mount shorty pipes. The tailights I made from scratch ordering some 48 LED pods. They are REDICULOUSLY BRIGHT! Let me know what you guys think.

The 1000rr decal on the tail section will be covered with a new michelin pilot power decal too BTW.

If that is a Ebay China kit, it looks damn good! How was the fit on this install?

04HaydenEdition · #9 (**permalink**) 05-23-2009, 10:30 PM

It is a Hong Kong kit. It was sweet thought because I got the fairing all the way from Hong Kong to my house in Virginia in like 6 days!!!!!!!! Paint is great. Fit and Finish is an 8/10. If you know anything about bikes they are super easy. I bored out a few holes bigger but overrall for $600 shipped you arent beating that. I strengthened my headlight mounting points with plastic weld just to be cautious but other than that two thumbs up from me. I believe the ebay seller was wing576 or wings576. PM me if you want me to dig up there ebay site.

Love the Konica Minolta grafix! Those were my favorite on the 211V!!!

is that body glass of plastic?

robfromsc · #14 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009, 02:59 AM

Looking good! Did you paint the tank yourself?

04HaydenEdition · #15 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009, 04:42 PM

Its plastic not glass. The tank was matched and painted by my local Honda Collision Center. My friend works there and did a great job matching the plastics!!!!

Where's this exhaust you've been talkin' about at?

Sweet paint job, the Konica Minolta RC211V was always a good looking bike.
