That's supposed to be the color for the 2000 models That will be my touch up for the rear fender and the holes that I need to fill. Should arrive in 2-5 days. Here is the site (I think Susan found it first).... Paint

Update on paint order....

Now, who can tell me if it is possible to use a fiber type body filler to fill 6 of the holes in the rear fender? Will it crack and fall out? Do I need some kind of screen backing?

Why do I ask? I am installing these in the 2 rear fender holes....

And even though this doesn't involve paint, while I have the rear wheel off, I am going to install these....

It wouldn't hurt to back it up with some fibreglas mat/cloth on the inside of the fender. A question for you: Are the windscreens on your bikes (as shown in Paladin's gallery) the "National Deflectors"?

I think the "big chrome brick" detracts from the 650's lines and engine. Should I just clean it real good and paint over the chrome? Or wet-sand it with ultra superfine? How about priming? Needed or not on chrome?

Git, either sand the chrome off or buy Por-15 tinted clear for chrome...nothing else sticks well to chrome. Plan to throw away the belt cover too...bleah!!! Tongue

For Greg, definitely back the holes before you putty them. Fiberglass or window screen or hardware cloth, or such. FYI, putty does NOT stick well to epoxy or most fiberglass resins. Oreder a West Systems sampler kit...good stuff!

Something noone remembers is that no matter how pricey it is, rattle can paint doesn't hold up well...

It holds up well. Of course the painting is the shortest part. Smoothing and prep take forever. The paint store can match any color you have.

Honestly, I don't know. I bought one of them from a guy that was changing the one on his Honda and the other one was just hanging on a hook at bike shop. The price was right for both of them. But I never saw any packaging on either.

They work fairly well, but they are "deflectors" and not windshields. Good for keeping yellow jackets out of your shirt

Cool. The guy at the parts store told me that for holes 3/8" diameter or so, that backing up the holes wouldn't be necessary if I was generous on both sides of the hole. He told me not to use fiberglass filler (which I've never tried) but to use regular Bondo instead. Hmmm.

Well, I tested my "rattle can" paint. It may not be as good as the professional sprayer type, but I assure you that this Color Rite paint is the best "rattle can" that I've ever used. First out of the nozzle, there was no splatter and the fan pattern was really smooth and even. I used an old coffee can and the color is an awesome match, right down to the meta-flake specks....so, bottom line: it may be pricey, but it is good stuff. I was impressed.
