thanks. I'm waiting to put that lower fairing on till i change my oil. just waiting on my filter.

[professa_riddler]

That is much better. Looks good.

Damn that looks sexy. I'm still working on finishing my black/green. I would love to do this white but it does stain easily! I did some white on my front nose fairing and above the headlamp, and its now all stained with blood from bugs and won't come off. I tried using a car washing sprayer to get it off but started to peal by getting to close

(you can use a sprayer washer but don't put it closer than a foot or it will start to peal it)

I liked the black tank, because it flowed with the seat, but the white tank with stripe also looks really good! I can't decide which I like better now.

Dipyourcar.com has some cleaners. I've seen most people use foam cannons with a citrus cleaner, and it gets the bugs off.

Also, Thanks Everyone. The Oil filter came in today, so I will get the lower fairing on, and snap another pic asap. I think my helmet may be the next plasti dip project.

How is the tank holding up? On my post kat my seat seems to rise up a little bit, than when I sit on it it kind of rest down onto the bottom of the tank. Was concerned with that spot being rubbed a lot and wearing. Already have a ton of glossifier, blaze green, black and white to finish my bike, as you can see from avatar I still have the blue tank

my problem areas were right above were the seat met the tank. I put a lot of coats on there after it peeled again, then the other problems were under the seat on the fairings where you can't see. The good part about those problem areas are a little paint thinner, and a couple new coats and it's covered up.

How do you uses paint thinner to touch it up?

[JSMencer]

put some on a microfiber cloth rub the area where it was coming up and around the edge of the peel, you'll see it smooth out, then spray over it again.

oil is changed lower fairing is on, pictures to come tomorrow morning.

[JSMencer]

Here it is with the lower fairing.. I think I am done for now.

Also this was taken right before my daughter decided to draw on it with chalk.

[Stumpy]

Thats actually looking kind of nice!

[JSMencer]

Stumpy Thanks, Now I have to fix it, cause I got gas on it. I thought my petcock was on so I had a reserve, but apparently it wasn't, and I haven't touched it since the PO. My wife brought me some gas but the spout was jacked up so I had some drip down the side. SO, spend 12$ to fix it, or try to give it a real paint job?
