my new paint and stuff
i got my bike painted around a month ago but only now am getting around to getting pictures up for it. i was going through the forum and i noticed a couple people wanting to know what the bike looked like with NO stickers on it. i have none on it now but i am in the process of moving out california way but when i get there i am going to order just the honda wings for the tank and the big HONDA logo that goes along the bottom by our feet. i am looking at this site: http://www.xtreemedecals.com/default...CTIONSword=ww1 , but i think the honda wing and lettering are so boxy. is it just me? i am also gonna get my pegs and stator powder coated black. i went with the black and gun metal because i think it looks good and i wont have to buy any rims to go along with some crazy paint scheme. thanks for all the help out too guys with all those crazy problems i had, this site saved me TONS of $$$$$.

RE: my new paint and stuff
i got some paint from home depot and just stuck the bolts through cardboard and painted away. kind of ghetto, but saved me more money! i had the red/ silver scheme but it fell over so i thought why not something new? as for the seats, i had some vinal spray which i got at home depot. i used it all up b4 i finished and i went back to the depot and they don't sell it anymore!!! the paint i then got was some rust-oleum all surface paint. i used it on both the seats and bolts. i put about 3/4 of the can on the seats, i just criss crossed really lightly on it until i thought it looked good, then put on some more. my front seat was fading really bad and my back was silver so i had to do something and i am not good at re vinal so i decided to use paint. i works great but you have to be really careful screwing the bolts back in. but if you take your time it is not a problem.oh and for the wind screen i went to the hardware store and just bought some small washers, painted them black and threw those suckers on. i didn't like the little rubber things and i wanted the bolts be noticed on the front.
