If I may suggest, paint your undertail black, since you don't have a rear hugger, you'll kick stuff up onto the undertail, black will match your yellow/black paint scheme, andblack is much easier to find then a matching yellow.

This is kind of what I was thinking. I do have a hugger tho, I just need to paint it then install it, so if I buy matching yellow paint I can use it for several pieces. Thanks for the input.

I'm ashamed to say this......Suzuki Wash *cough*, that's only cause I live like 2 mins from a Kawi/Suz dealer. It is great stuff tho, spray on, hose off. The only thing I noticedyou have to watch outfor issome of the smooth black metal(mirror posts, front fairing stay, etc.). For some reason it tends to dull the black to a grayish color. A little wax afterwards helps fix that. Mequiar's Gold Class wax is what I use on my cars and bike. The shine lasts. That wash and wax is from over 2 weeks ago. The bike has been rode hundreds of miles since then and has sat uncovered a few days.

How do you go about attaching the mesh to the farings? Hot glue? Duct tape? Rubber cement? What?! I want to do that to mine I'm going to stop at the auto store on the way to work. =)

Thanks everyone. Sorry I'm just getting back to you snowboarding82, I used fiberglass filler to attach my screens. I cut some of the foam out of the fairings. Sanded the inside of the fairing where I removed the foam from, cut my screens a little oversized and mixed up some fiberglass which I then puton 3 or 4different areas of the large screens and 2 areas on the small screens. They have held up for several years now without any probs.

Well like the title says, I polished my rims and painted my undertail, so here are some new pics. Enjoy.
