Next up was painting the stock exhaust shields, i painted them a semi gloss with VHT, It held up really well, even when i melted a back pack to the tail, the paint bubbled a bit but not bad considering.

I then applied reflective red pro grip rim tape. Sure was a PITA since i did not have a stand at the time, but i think i did a pretty damn good job getting it straight. There is no lowers on because right before i did the rim tape i changed the oil
