Great work. The original is powder coated. With paint.. keep it thin, esp on inside corners where that washer is. 🙏🏽

Been following you from the start of this build. Great work buddy. Can’t wait to see how you finish it. And I know that feeling when you screw up the nice work 😂 Will you be changing the colour scheme or staying with the original?

Great job but you tightened the lower pinch bolts before the stearing stem nut which wouldn't allow the centre bolt and lower triple tree close together properly, you have to do the steering stem nut before the the lower triple tree clamp bolts 👍🏼

Hello Tristan, How did you get the damper holder on the clip on? The rubber piece where the bar end screws into

Never had an issue with paint just always given it plenty of time to 100% cure

Yeah I agree on that, I even had parts that waited for weeks before I touched them but I feel like that thickness is too much (primer, paint, clear coat) I’ll find a way though

Yo ma man,, just wanna thank you for these videos,,, i crashed my 06 R1 and ive been following you steps to the point that ive managed to build everything back and it working properly,, but ive noticed that my front wheel is touching the lower and side fairin,,how do I rectify this problem

Gonna reference this video when i attempt to straighten my lower triple . Do you know if r1 and r6 torque specs are same?

I’m not positive but they should be, same design, same material…

Use Cerakote, it is very strong, and there is a lot of colors.

There's easier ways to get those bolts in the ignition out too instead of drilling. I just did it on my r6 top tree. Dremel tool, heat and extract. :)

Oh I see, yes of course that works 👍

OEM clamps are either powder coating or anodized.

OEM triple clamp is likely powder coated.

Had these myself as well unfortunately with the paint, once you are tightening up it cracks. You tried maybe to not clear coat the area where the washer will be?

I realized it’s indeed because of that clear coat that doesn’t have enough hardener indeed, it stays soft Since then powder coating became my best friend so no more problem 😅
