Has anyone used plasti dip on their bike? I was thinking of plasti dipping my rims black on the bike and maybe a few chrome pieces on the bike. I can't seem to find anything on here about plasti dip.

Also I got a hero 3+ gopro for christmas this year for fly fishing, the lobster diving trip this summer, and of course for riding my motorcycle. I have a handlebar mount that I can use on my road bike and the motorcycle handlebars. I might put a mount onto my helmet. I have a chest mount also. I was wondering if anyone else uses a gopro when they ride. I am thinking of adding epoxy to the small sticky mount for extra support and putting it on the bike in a low place. Maybe opposite side of the belt. On what I believe is the "swing arm" on the right side. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar camera (a really cheap version though) and have found that mounting on the savage is a pain.
Vibrations cause a wavering video..... a helmet mount is the best and even then the shocks are not the best in the world so if the roads are crappy, your video will be crappy.
If you had a spring mounted shock system for the camera or could make one, that would be the best.
I realize that go-pro has a "anti shake" feature, so you will probably have to experiment with it... keep us posted

Oh, on the plastidip... I did a tourpack with plastidip...it turned out ok, but tends to peel when chipped... I just use a little of the plastidip on a brush to "touch up"...

When I painted my swing arm with 2 stage glossy black paint, I learned that it does not hold up well where the tire throws crap onto the cross brace at the front edge of the tire.  To correct this I taped off the area and sprayed black Plasti-Dip in that area.  Based on old_riders post about painting his big box with it....I knew that the stuff does not like the use of masking tape and when you pull off the tape the Plastic-Dip comes off with it.  The cure is to spray on the Plasti-Dip in a thick layer, then immediately pull off the tape before the Plasti-Dip can begin to dry and develop any strength.

The Plasti-Dip is holding up well on the swing arm cross brace - and can be pulled off and reapplied easily when it becomes funky.

If you spray big things like fuel tanks or fenders....it is a git hard to get an even looking finish...and it is not horribly durable.

The belt guard keeps a lot of crap out of your belt to protect the belt.  It's not only there to keep your or someone else's leg out of the belt.

actually plasti-dip is quiet durable when applied correctly. It takes several coats starting light and getting heavier as you go. I did my mean streak a couple of months ago and it is still holding up like a champ. I have a friend that did his complete car 2 years ago and its still going strong. My mean streak has 6 coats of flat black base and 7 coats of chameleon green/blue. The more coats you apply the easier it will be to remove it (learned that the hard way with my jetta). I also run a gopro 3 and most of the vibration can be taken out when using the pro-tune editing software it came with.

this color is very hard to get a good picture of.
