Default Bike Makeover Before and After Pics(56k no way)

Hey guys just wanted to show why my bikes been down for the last month.Here are some before and after pics of my 2006 cbr 600RR. I had the swingarm,passengar pegs,case covers, Powder coated black, and the wheels done in blood red.I also installed a gpr Dampner and vortex rearsets.I also got Galfer brake lines and ebc pads for the front and back. I was tired of the chrome bling appeal so i ditched it for more of a loud/stealth look..Thanks to all who gave me opinions and advice!!Powdercoating was done by procoat on crenshaw street off of Anderson. Props also given to Martin and Ross at Velocity Moto for helping out!!Anyways tell me what you think!!And I do relize opinions are like assholes...
BEFORE...


DURING...

need tires (take offs)? PM me
need a deal on a track day? PM me

disclaimer: I sell used tires (take-offs), these tires have been used at Jennings, Homestead, etc. (road courses for those that dont know) therefor these tires are more used up on the sides than in the middle,

Thanks guys for the compliments!!I've been asked the same question(why didn't you get a red GPR)?Well i ordered a titanium color and i thought it would be more silver to match the bike but it's got a blueish hue to it.And i ordered it before i decided to do the wheels red.My whole goal was to be diffrent so i guess i succedded..
