So my friend and I were talking about the bike and at first I was going to re-paint the plastic black. But with me painting the motor black and having a whole bunch of odds and ends powder black we notice that is alot of black lol, even with when the blue header and wheels. So the plan is to paint the plastics white with some black accents

The engine looks good painted black. What kind of paint did you use?

Just my $.02 but its way easier and cleaner to paint the airbox cover with the filler neck removed. Just sand the plastic dinguses down on the inside and yank it off then epoxy it back on after.

For that fuel cap bezel I just carefully heat up the melted tabs on the airbox with a little torch and pull the 2 apart... for reinstall I trim a lttle off the tabs on the sides (enuff u can"snap" the bezel back on) and then melt the tabs back over with my airless plastic welder. U could easily melt them back over with a screw driver heated up with a little butane torch instead of a plastic welder.

Nothing to exciting but finally my gasket set showed up

Also cleaned up my pistons... So much carbon buildup
