    photo update on 1150 fairing mod

    Well, I took the chance and decided to try my hand at a rattle-can paint on the fairing just to get a close idea of the finished product.
    Needless to say,it came out nicely as you can see.

    Matching paint makes all the diff.

        Very nice paint job. I'm sure it took a steady hand. What kind of paint did you use? Did you clear coat it?

        The lines really complement the bike.

                Dupli-Color auto paint.
                I still have to do some wet-sanding and put a few more coats on.
                Then clear coat.
                I am really impressed with how well it came out.
                That will save me some $$$ this year.\\/

                  Looks good Doug. I hope to see it this coming year in person, I don't think we crossed paths last year. I am actually cutting down the same fairing for my project 1100. I will post picks eventually.
