Thx for the link Scotty. I am looking into those. Those would probably be easier for me to mount as well.

Another potential option to mount the bottles. The steel strapping would definitely be more secure though.

Man I ordered this stuff yesterday. And it got here this morning. Bad ass! Looks like I am just gunna coat it while I am at it.

This is my guage mount in cardboard. I want to replicate this either in aluminum or stainless steel. Probably gunna go for a thicker aluminum so that it's stiff and such.
I got screwed royally. I sent my moneyh to some inbred retard in the states. He send me the totally wrong things. Send me the fender/plate holder for the 09 r6 which doesnt fit the 06 07. Sent me 06 07 plastics which were ok but had more damage than he mentioned. Didn't send me my seatlock mechanism. Didn't send me my god damn tail light. The only damn thing he got right were the rearsets. And I have a suspicion the only reason he got that right is cuz they are probably the same 06-10.
What a piss off.
Gotta let this sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Wish I read the instructions before hand.
Got my lithium Ion battery. It's tiny. I put my keys in there to give you an idea of how small it is. It weighs next to nothing as well.
Sneak peak of the tail.

Got my tank back.
I love it. Now I just gotta save my pennies to get the tail painted too.

Well I will down the road. Try convincing my GF that's a good idea. LOL. She loves riding 2up.
Bro you gotta fighter the bike. Only because it would be a shame not to see theturbo and such
. But use the RS tail. When I saw that tail I actually thought about using that on my bike as well.Thanks man appreciate it.
Well I just learned a very expensive lesson. Acetone ruins paint jobs!
I got a little bit of acetone on the paint and the whole fuckin thing started lifting. I am not pleased at all.
Oh well. I guess I have to repaint this winter. What a fuckin piss off.
Minty fresh paintjob.
Paint job. Meet Acetone.
Mike is this saveable by any means?

Yup problem is I didn't get the coating til the day I had to send the tank out for paint. I did get a good deal on the cost of paint. But alas it was all for nought. I think I am going to cover it up with a decal that is a racing stripe down the center of the tank.
Mounts done for remote resevoir and coolant bottle.
The mounts drilled to go between subframe and rearset. Did both at the same time so they would have the same spacing and save me more effort lol. Yet another good use for duct tape.
Testing for hole diameter
Testing for spacing. Perfect fit.
Seperating the two.
Used a torch and bent them into an L
Used the torch again and now they are a Z
Coolant bottle. Gotta get some clamps for that.
Shock resevoir. Gotta find the other clamp I had for that.
Rear shot. Sorry for the bad lighting.

This is just a photoshop but what are your thoughts on decal like this to cover up the paint fudge up?
