I was planning on painting the rearsets and pegs since the frame is black and it will make the Yoshi exhaust look like it is floating. I was probably going to get the paint that you bake on or just paint with metal paint and LOTS of clear instead of going powdercoat since then I wouldn't have anything to ride with while the sets where at the powdercoat.

Red/Black is my favorite color scheme so it will def. stay black/red.

As for the tank, that is the way that I bought it. The red was professionally done.

oh. sweet. thnx.

I want to get ALL stickers off. Including the Spec/DoD/warning stickers on the frame.

I'm with you. If they ain't paying me to advertise their crap I ain't gonna wear it on my shirt, paint it on my bike, or tattoo it on my ***. I don't care if it REPSOL, Shell or Mother F**king Playboy. Tell them C**ksuckers to buy their own F**king bikes and sell their F**king s**t, to their G**d**m M****g son of a ****. Who the F**k do they think they are, selling their s**t on my bike. And who the hell is f**king BONO to tell me to donate to AIDS in Africa? it ain't my f**king problem, that drunken irish f**k can spend his own g****m money but why the hell should I have to give a dime. And screw Lady Di, if she wasn't whoring around with the f**king camel jockey she wouldn't have gotten whacked.

Wow..... I forgot to take my Xanax. Sorry for the outburst. Forget about anything I wrote.I have to take a nap now. Have a nice day.

Yeah if you paint your rearsets and rear passenger pegs black.....it'll look good and the clearcoat will protect them.....they don't take that much abuse anyways

Can you get a better picture of the black painted air duct covers???

RE: New Paint.

Those covers look pretty sweet.You might find yourself facing some cracking issues in the future though. One of the reasons that those covers don't come painted from the factory is becauseregular paintcan crack when the plastic flexes.Some placeswould say to put a flex additive into the paint before you spray it to make the paint a little less brittle. As long as you try not to bend/ flex them when you'retaking them off and putting them on, you should be ok though.just my 2 cents
