    Yamaha R6 From Hell

    Customer drops a bike off at the studio. After a few days of messing with it, he was fed up. Contemplating sending the bike to auction, he came to us as a last resort.

    Bike looked as if it had literally been DIPPED in plasti dip. The body panels weren't removed for plasti dip. Everything was sloppily done without removing anything from the bike. Everything from the handlebars to the exhaust tip was covered. Every nook and cranny. We HATE plasti dip, it all had to go.

    After pulling all of the large pieces of dip off, this was what was left....
























    Plasit dip was removed. The bike was then washed with Iron X soap to get rid of the oily residue left by the plasti dip and the products used to remove it. The windscreen and the painted surface were polished. The chain and chain guard were cleaned, and the chain re lubed. (we are bike enthusiasts at the shop and all ride) I suggested a chain replacement as it was beginning to rust and corrode.

    The bike came in looking like a beat up lost cause, it left the studio revitalized and respectable.













    Thanks for viewing! Say to plasti dip!

    Very Viper Orange (Only 40 in existence) 2014 is en route to the shop as I type. I swear it wasn't planned, they just all slithered into the studio at he same time.

    For a newer bike that thing was in bad shape. Thankfully y'all turned it back into the beauty it is. Great job.

    Seriously is that the same bike. Did you pull a bait and switch. Nice work indeed.
