Sights And Sound - My First Mods - B166er_imp - 06-23-2014

Nothing too exotic. Certainly nothing ground breaking or new but I LOVE what I have done today.

So.... I'm not into chrome and I don't want to ruin anything. I always have several cans of black Plastidip in the "garagemahal". Easy to coat. Easy to clean and it peels right off when its time for a change. AND!!!! It keeps factory chrome/paint completely preserved.

Headlight bezel and front fender.

And I have to say, I REALLY love this $260 investment. Yoshimura Stainless slipon. Took me all of 30 minutes to install. The hardest part was installing the little bracket that comes with. I didn't bother with the silencer. I like noise.

0-35mph is soooooo much more fun now. I love the gurgle. I love the idle and I just think it looks and sounds great. I would like to fashion a very functional, yet very raw heat shield. Something rusty and perforated.

All together now.

Like the Yoshi, looks good.

Cheers

Some video so we can hear it? Maybe even while riding..and a redline shift would be great :-)

The plastic dip..is it a dip, or a spray? Must be a spray..how would you dip a whole fender? Would have to have a bathtub of the stuff. Huh

Keep us up to date on future mods!

Ferret, it used to only come in pop top cans for dipping. Used to be marketed to garage and tool junkies who needed new rubber coatings on their tool handles and what not.

They now sell 3 or 4 gallon kits, with electric sprayer for spraying whole cars.

My CB will get additional treatment soon. Smile

Hiker, I'll see if I can get my son's GoPro and mount towards the exhaust. That would be fun.

Thats how I thought I remembered it. Small cans looked like tennis ball cans, for dipping the handles of pliers and screw drivers and the like. Never seen it in an aerosol.

How difficult is it to peel off? And you can wash the bike with it on? ( but not high pressure hose, right?)

RE: Sights And Sound - My First Mods - B166er_imp - 06-23-2014

Peels off very easy and withstands spraying. A badly damaged spot may start to peel if repeatedly sprayed but it's pretty darn resilient.

I'm pretty certain I'll be spraying two cars in the near future too.

You could make your own "rubber end thingies".

RE: Sights And Sound - My First Mods - B166er_imp - 06-24-2014

In different colors too.... imagine, sea foam green pearl "rubber end thingys"
