What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[dannymax]

My spiderweb grill along with the fighter scoops and inserts came in. So I painted them up and they are now drying.

Great work on the scoops!, very little prep work. they sit a little bit wider. about an inch and a half.

Thery're painted up gloss black. The inserts and the grill were chromed. I have this anadizing paint that looks kick ass over chrome. I put several coats of the red over it. So it matches the red accents on the rest of the bike.

I'll post pics when I get it all back together tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing the anodizing paint KJ....sounds nice! unk:

The paint I used on the chrome is Krylons X Metals. I've used it before on chrome and it adheares real sweet. If you put it over a shiney silver it looks good. but when you spray it over chrome it comes out fantastic. mirror gloss. looks just like its polished anadized.

The paint on the scoops is still soft, so I don't want to screw with it and have to do it over. But here is the pics of the chome inserts I hit with the x-metal paint.

It's as smooth as glass. You see in the first picture a 24" stainless ruler, the second it the top of my claymore thats hanging on the wall about 30" away. The last really dosn't look all that smooth, but its the texture on the ceiling thats in the reflection. Tomorrow I'll take some more pics after final assembly.

I like it!! Sure does look anodized! Krylon puts out a great product.

Bummed they don't have black tho.

I put it together this afternoon. Here it is, nothing too radical but it works for me. I'm loving the fighter scoops. They stick out a little wider, but it fits the bike well.

 

[Geek_Law]

Looks amazing. I'm jealous.

Thanks Mike. I hear ya on the snow, just need some warm weather and a good wind and it will be gone in no time.

Thanks brian, I'm tickled that it turned out as planned. using the Xmetal paint as a tint was tits. Tough stuff too, I dropped one of the inserts and it didn't phase it.

I finally rode the thing today. It's the first time since mid November. Started and ran like I put it away yesterday. Three things I recommend to winterize....full float bowls, Seafoam in the tank and Odyssey battery.

Looking good KJ:eusa_dance: But, listen to your Vmax and do it one favor. Please eliminate those radiator reflectors. :ummm: With the time and money you've invested, they really need to disappear.

That will be done, I'm looking at a few new side covers to flat out replace all of that stuff.
