Where do I start.. over the summer I turned my garage from a dumping ground with motorbikes in it, into a proper garage: Duramat flooring (with thanks to Mr Smooth for help with that), better ceiling lighting (LED hexagon lights), wall cupboards etc. I also got some extra electrical sockets installed and wall mounted my trickle chargers. I've just bought a new mechanics chair as the uneven pre-duramat floor destroyed my old one, and also bought some polishing tools as I need to correct a few blemishes on the bikes and my car.
First up is the Gen 2. Planning a fairings off deep clean. As the pic shows, the colour coded rad/oil guards have done their job over a number of years and need some tlc. They are a bit dirty in the pic, but you can see that the paint has come off in various areas. I am trying to decide if I should clean and repaint them myself or have them professionally done - the guy that services it recommended a company that will clean the old paint off and put a cerakaote finish on them - only thing is he can't do a blue that's close to the bluefire colour, so I'd have to go for a black or grey colour, which could be OK. For just a little bit more than that would cost, I could buy another set from R&G but I was never that impressed by the finish, so a tougher finish might last longer - any thoughts on that? Any alternatives anyone can suggest?
