DIY Candy Red Paint

[tim_]

i can see if the guy i get em off still has any red bash plates left... i cracked the bolt holes.. but had to get the bolts tight enough so they didnt vibrate out... and it scuffs up quick... so i brought a black cut away cover instead...

also i just got red fuel line and breather line with stainless steel lamps for the fuel line.... with the red uni filter.. it looks awesome i will get a pic for ya.. i got a red gear shifter too

was thinking I didnt want to over do it with the paint just incase it looked cheap. but I prefer colour 2 or 3 main colours

How the hell did you get them? I had phone a friend in the U.K to get em!

Hahaha funny you should say that, my brother lives in the UK and I had to get him to order them for me.

The guy selling them was infuriating! I emailed him and asked if he would send them to Aus and he said yes, so I ask for a price, a week later he gives me a price. So I ask him to send me an invoice so I can pay for them, 2 weeks later no reply. So I email him again asking for an invoice, a week later he tells me how much it will cost but still sends no invoice, then he just stopped replying to my emails :hache:

Anyway I put mine on white plastics, I think black plastics would look better though, the white plastics make it look a little too plain (hence the need for some candy red)

Yeah I'm keen whats the damage for the hose n filter?

It's worth noting that I've got fluro yellow fuel line and I turned off the fuel tap and left the bike for a week without letting the leftover fuel out. So the part of the fuel line that had the fuel sitting in it for a week has actually lost its colour, so make sure you run your bike out of fuel if you're leaving it for a while (turn the fuel tap off and letting the engine run till it dies).

Sound advise I'd say

pretty sure it was 25 bucks for enough hose for the breather lines and the fuel line and the shiny stainless clamps... BUT!!!!! i did have an issue today when starting my bike... it seems you need to place the stainless clips on the widest par of the spigot... not past he lip.. as hose doesn't like to seal when just slid over the spigot.. .................................................... does that make sense? if not i will post a pic...
