Talking RhinoLine or Line-x bike??

I have seen several bikes around lately that have been RhinoLined. All the fairing is sprayed with the rubberized paint and the bike looks pretty stealthy. I have read that it will add approximately 20 lbs to the bike and kill the aerodynamics.
.
My question to you all.... I have some pretty beat up lastics and was considering giving my 94' 900RR a face lift. What are your thought and experiences??

No exp with it, but I gave it some thought on my old 600, it too had rough plastic. If the plastic is really that far gone go for it what I say!

seen it, thought it looked like crap IMO.

If I were to do a cheapo paint job on a bike, I'd go flat black.

do you really want to add that much weight why dont you just get some sand paper and a few cans of flat black and do the same thing only less weight and money

Bedliner is super tough, it's definitely a cheap alternative to powercoat for stuff that takes a beating like wheels and the swingarm. Not sure I would do a whole bike in it though unless it was just a beater.

that much weight to be honest i used 1 and a half can for whole bike if you used flat black it would take that much or more if you use primer but anyway what would we be talking about a pound mine is no race bike

im guessing you have never had flat back anything it is hard to keep looking right because there is no texture where as with bed liner there is

but im sure to each his own im just telling my experience with it
