I believe the seat colour should match the vinyl straps on the tank.

I think that basic black would look the best also and match the paint scheme too. 
They would compliment each other rather than clash like a blue seat would. Yuk!

I was going to say go bold and get it done in some Carbon FX.......
but since it's mostly stock, I am rethinking, probably not....

What kind of paint did you use for this?Little bit of sanding and painting tonight...this is the inside of the fairing, it was really rough. It's better now but not perfect.My goal here is to get it back together so it is decent to see if I have a good runner or not then this winter, if I'm happy with the bike I will have it professionally painted.
Here is some before and after..

nice work, I would also go some form of black on the seat.
Your paint is nice enough , have you considered some touchup and a good coat of clear. It will make it look "almost new" and be much cheaper (1/3 the cost) than a full paint job.

Yep you guys are right gonna go with black for the seat. As for what paint I used on the plastic bits, I used dupi-colour bumper paint (can on the right). Here is a pic of a mirror I did last night. I'm also going to use it on the tail peice I bought from a guy in Alberta for 50 bucks! Ouch!
I also have used the Dupli-coluor trim paint with good results.

Painted my liner with Stippletone because I couldn't get smooth paint to look uniform. I think the PO used a lot of Armorall on it.
Hey that looks pretty good. Good idea. I'm having trouble getting mine to look uniform too. I just might do the same thing. Thanks

Trevor, did I read that right that you used the bumper paint on that mirror that turned out so great?
Eric
Eric
Lol..yep! I was having some trouble with fich eyes because I had made the surface a little smooth I guess? But yeah the bumper paint worked pretty good.
You just reminded me there is another trick on improving the plastic appearance without paint. Use a heat gun and uniformly wave it across the plastic. It will semi-re flow the plastic and give it a semi-gloss sheen like when it was new. It will not take out deep scratches but works well on sun dried plastic. And since you are not putting anything on top it is basically like new (close)
There was a video of a guy doing this on the web a while back. I have done it and it works.
Yeah I have seen the visor just not sure I have the nerve. Lol
It is easy and it doesn't happen all of a sudden. Try it on any old plastic you have. I have done mirrors and with heat on the glass side as the plastic was dried out close to the glass.
You will be able to see the change in surface.

Nice work on the gauges Trevor !! I'll be having a go at mine when I get a new/used mounting case. And I'll be sure to pick up some of that Novus scratch remover. They came out great !

Those gauges came out really nice. Maybe someday you could put together a step by step and make it a sticky, as the process would be similar for all gauges assuming the lenses come out.
