Road Comet question...

[ChipBeck_imp]

Rebel,

I've got two Road Comets, one silver and one black. As the others have described mine are the same color inside and out. I like the idea of painting the inside flat black or ??? Cheers.

Chip

They are nice, aren't they?

At night, if you have a light leak around the headlight, there is a fix for that. I think by Chip Beck--in the how to area. I did it on mine, with a slight difference of material. I don't even ride at night

Looks great on your bike!!

 

[Rebel73_imp]

Painted the inside flat black tonight. Will install tomorrow!

Funny, the pic is kind of an optical illusion. It looks like it could be the front of the fairing.

 

[Chapomis_imp]

By the lack of masking tape, I assume you brushed it ?

 

[Rebel73_imp]

Chapomis, I did brush it. However, I did mask it off anyhow. Just my own OCD. I had already removed the tape for the pic. I used the Frog Tape that was recommended by EgAlvarez.

 

[Chapomis_imp]

What type of paint did you end up using ?

 

[Rebel73_imp]

A bought a small can of Rust-oleum oil-based flat black enamel from Home Depot.

Thanks Popgun and thanks to the members blazing the trail and taking the guess work out of working on the CB . I am now getting ready for the seat upgrade . I am most likely going with the Chip Beck Speck. I live a hour away from " Corbin". Thanks guys for all your help!

I went down there and watched my seat being made and had them modify it a little because I felt that the pocket moved me further back om the seat than I was comfortable with. If you want to check it out I would be more than willing to let you before you head down there.

 

[dsan1964_imp]

That would probably be helpful Randy I will hit you up in the next week or two! Thanks I take it your in the Bay also...

A bought a small can of Rust-oleum oil-based flat black enamel from Home Depot.

Same paint I used, Rob. Are you satisfied with the results?

 

[Rebel73_imp]

Very happy, Ron. Looks more finished for sure.

Question for you, buddy. The instructions that came with the RC mention something about installing mounting rubbers? I didn't see anything like that in the box.

To be honest, I didn't even read the instructions when installing mine. I suspect the mounting rubbers refer to the rubber grommets used where the side bolts mount the fairing to the headlight bolt extensions. Does yours have these grommets?

 

[Rebel73_imp]

Ok, yah they're talking about the grommets I think. In the picture it looks like he's trimming some kind of molding.

 

[Rebel73_imp]

For you guys with the RC1 on a 2014, how did you attach the bottom of the fairing to the horn bracket? I'm kind of confused on that one.
I'd very much appreciate if someone could post a pic?

 

[Lord Popgun]

No pic as I have a '13, but that molding he is trimming is the trim piece for the edge of the screen. It comes long and has to be trimmed to fit.

 

[Chapomis_imp]

My bike isn't handy or I would take a pic for you, but I do remember attaching it to the nearest 10mm centered nut. I think as long as it is centered on the headlight its right. I added some thread lock too.

 

[Lord Popgun]

On the '13 it mounts on the stud for the horn brackets. Same for the '14?
