Want to paint Beull

[beull4me19]

I have a 03 XB9R Firebolt want to repaint it. Bought it like this. Want to paint it flat black with white beull logo and white rims. Anyone ever painted theyre own and came out just like taking it to a shop? I dont like the HD sign on the tank cover.

i painted my X1 in my garage-

and i also painted my old R1 in my garage as well (used to be original silver)

I like the orange, black and white. You should sell those plastics and buy a scuffed up set to paint. Don't kill a cool paint job. Someone will buy it.

Whats a beull?

BTW thats a BA paint job! Paint gun im assuming?

 

[beull4me19]

LOL. My bad *Buell. Well if i could find someone to buy them i would sell em. and buy new ones for it. Anyone know how much it would cost to dip the rims in white or black?

 

[oh9bolt]

PM a mod and see if they can correct the spelling in your name also lol. Just busting your balls.

You would want to get your wheels powdercoated.... You should be able to get them down for $200 or less.

 

[beull4me19]

LOL Damnit 0h9bolt didnt think anyone would catch that. lol. Pur Pony where would be a good place to take them too? would they take tires off the rims for me? or would i have to get that done somewhere? i was thinking probably just macco or somewhere like that.

 

[pur pony]

for powdercoating you would have to dismount the wheels.... if you just wanted to get them painted you could tape the wheels off and have them painted. Not going to be as strong as powder though.

 

[beull4me19]

Ok. Ill probably tape the wheels off. Dont really have to much extra cash these days. Taking care of a 1 yr old is expensive. As well as taking care of the wife is even more expensive.

Maybe get someone to airbrush a pegasus logo or something over the "H-D"?

If it wasn't for the checkering down the middle the orange wouldn't look bad. Really not feeling it though.

Pur what color blue is that? Looks really nice.

he is just doing it to appease his fiancee. he is pricing it way above what its worth so that he can show his woman that its posted for sale....but no one will actually buy it.

To the OP: I like that color scheme. IMHO I think the R's look more common to all the cookie cutter sportbikes. That color scheme sets the bike apart from all others. I don't like the font style of that H-D badge on the air box cover either. But don't hate too much on HD,afterall ERIK signed over complete control to HD in 2003 so really it is an HD product like it or not. Buy you some of them tank grippers from ASB and you won't even see them decals anymore [up]

i did this..

therealdjspin@, how did you managed to instal a header on the left side of the engine[confused][confused][confused]

 

[SonderMann]

Hi beull4me19,

I noticed that "beull" misprint a long time ago but was too damn polite not to tell you about that

As to the Plastics repainting I thought firstly the same thing that lately red from dave_xb12r

You should sell those plastics and buy a scuffed up set to paint. Don't kill a cool paint job. Someone will buy it.

absolutely agree with that!

therealdjspin@, how did you managed to instal a header on the left side of the engine

Not only the header but the entire right side of the bike is on the left side???? drive belt, front brake, header, everything.........
