    Paint options for the plastics

    Sad thing is, i have read that post about 50 times. Dip, crosshatch, dip, cross hatch, dip, cross hatch, dry, sun/light....dip, cross hatch, dip cross hatch... But even with 2000 and 2500, i still see little shiny scratches. Its dull and has no shiny spots, but not evenly dull like the pic you...

    Paint options for the plastics

    Ok, after getting the right paper, i basically started over. I think i understand now. It looks more like cooters explanation. I also think i understand the cross-hatch. Looks good, yet not quite like i mentally expected it to. I was going for the matte black look...which is looks close, but...

    Difference between SS and S tail

    Ok, this is what i assumed after looking at a bunch of pictures. But couldnt find anything to confirm it. I think i have everything ill need for parts to piece it together. Figure the color wont really matter, as ill get all the plastics powder coated ( see what I did there?)...just kidding...

    Difference between SS and S tail

    Yeah, i think i undersrand that part. My question, as rabble-worthy as it was, was more directed at the S vs the SS. It appears the S has a similar length to the R, but the S is actually shorter and goes to roughly mid rear tire. I have also seen some that look like an S, but also remind me...

    Difference between SS and S tail

    Hey guys, whats the difference between the tails? I have tried to figure it out, but cant seem get it. Seems like the SS is a longer tail like the R, but the S seems to be shorter and goes to about mid rear tire. I want to piece together the parts to do the swap and i know people have done it...

    Paint options for the plastics

    Im on daddy daycare and busy neglecting my kids, while trying to figure this out...so no porn hub today. I even tried to get some cheap child labor and bribe my 5 year old with some gummy worms, but he sucks worse than I do. I stopped him after 3 hours. :angel: I have been wet sanding for all...

    Left-side Low-side :( ...looking for Lt Footpeg, Shift Lever, & Frame Pucks

    Sorry to hear Dan, Listen to NJ...peroxide should not be applied more than once...that s*** will never heal and the scars will be atrocious. I cant guarantee the pineapple will work for roadrash, but did wonders for me growing up playing football and baseball with some nasty rasberries and turf...

    Paint options for the plastics

    Man. My hat is off too you. I never disrespected painters by any means, as i know it is a damn fine trade, but Jesus H. Christ! I have only been doing it for a few hours and i can say, i could not have the patience for this. The pics were the 400. Question: its sandpaper, so there is gonna...

    Paint options for the plastics

    I was gonna stop at 1000 to go for the matte look. I used 400, 600, 800 then 1000, but something didnt feel right and i went back to 400 and did it again. Surprisingly, it actually looks better than the first time. So after too many sours and a nap, im gonna run to the shop down the street...

    Paint options for the plastics

    I have no idea about this type of stuff and i'm gonna go in tomorrow and buy the sandpaper to get started. based on my research on sandpaper , I should buy 3m wetordry silicon carbide in the different weights you mentioned, because Silicon carbide is better on plastics? whereas the aluminum...

    Not a new owner, but new modifier, need help.

    Ok. Not sure if this is good or not, but I pulled the trigger and bought the Buelltooth QuickShifter setup and the Buelltooth Baro sensor. Guy on the other end of the email was pretty cool and helpful, also....so with the Buelltooth ECM dongle being such a great product in my eyes... he earned...

    Paint options for the plastics

    Haha...i love it. Im full of dry humor and you will find no sensitivity here. I look at it this way, im not afraid to f*** something up. You all know better than I do, but I wont follow blindly...atleast, not sober. I have spent most of my life in a trial by fire. So, breaking something or...

    Ok, i was thinking that they were molded plastics, but im not knowledgeable enough yet to contradict you guys. I have learned that 34 has a higher ratio of sarcasm to serious...im learning to disect his comments though. I can se him convincing someone that mentos is the gas tank will increase...

    Paint options for the plastics

    I think im gonna take the grip it and rip it approach and give another one of cooters recommendations a go. I dont necessarily wanna change from the black base, im not fancy like that. Was just thinking getting them back to that gloss black or even a matte black option. Maybe ill just sand it...

    Not a new owner, but new modifier, need help.

    So, i read through both threads. Not sure my finance backed mind can understand even 1/8th of the quickshift science, but i think i understand that its a good thing and Cooter likes it. Please correct me if im wrong. I disabled closed loop, so looks like ill need the baro, for when i hit the...

    Paint options for the plastics

    Hey all, Do the plastics on our bikes hold up to the heat of powdercoating? Im playing with the decision to buy wheels from cooter or get my wheels coated, but was also thinking about getting the plastics (airbox, tail and fairings) done. Was thinking getting them done in the glossy black that...
