So today Lonewolf05 and I did a few things to my bike...
We changed the oil
I adjusted the height of the shifter
oh and we replaced the front cowl and painted the bike
I got a couple scratches taking the front cowl over to his house
So we got NEKKID!
The new cowl next to the old one with its... temporary fix.
The old cowl was actually in 2 pieces as we found out when we unbolted the headlight
I tried on the new cowl because honestly I was hoping it would look great and we could be done!
That didn't work to well so we got started doing actual work. We decided since the headlight needs to be replaced anyway we decided their is no point looking at it.
So I scuffed it up
Taped it off
And painted it!
All done with the headlight!
Then we had to do the same with the plastics
So i scuffed them up
And Darrell sprayed them
and when they had 4 coats of black, and 2 coats of clear they dried and were mounted!
Then we just had to do the front
So we put it on our "Painting Chair"
And soon enough we were done and mounted! I don't know if you guys can see it in the pictures but it actually started raining as we were finishing the cowl
So it was an interesting ordeal.
So now that we were finished, and the rain was all clear (clear enough to make the drive home to my wife who had been home for an hour when I was supposed to be home first
) we took some quick pictures (for you guys) and I was off!
When we have some free time were gonna paint (or possibly use a vinyl sticker) to cover this part in black as well;
