The bike is a 1987 cbr600f1 Hurricane. Here's before...

and after...

This was a bad spray can repaint complete with black runs on the frame, stickers painted over, and grass in the spare gas tank paint. The spare tank is the one pictured in the new paint photo. It's missing the side farings, but for now he likes it naked

i think it looks better naked...now would this classify as a "streetfighter"?

That is one yummy lookin' paint job! You guys rock. And how nice that you work on it together - something to give you lots of great memories. Nice job!!

Cheers,

Looks great and I like the colour

I think my favorite thing is the reflections of anything and everything in the paint. You can see the house, the sky, the trees, the grass..there are so many angles on the bike...throw in the faded gold to grey base coat, and it really changes the original lines to a much more modern look.

As for the memories...priceless.
