    Hydro dipped rear tail rear

    I am new to this motorcycle thing and have been battling a idle problem on my 76 GS750 for months now. Ive been dipping guns for awhile so while I was waiting for parts I figured I would give this rear piece a go with some old carbon fiber I had. Not perfect due to me not being familiar with the correct angle for this part but a big improvement from its original condition.




    The bike has a bandit front end and rear swinger. I am thinking of doing the side covers in carbon fiber and painting the tank the same silver as the Suzuki stickers. Any input?

      I'm afraid you have just created a monster.

        I have my FFL and do entire guns for $150. I don't feel like I am ready to charge for most motorcycle accessories due to lack of experience I cant do parts well enough to meet my standard. Id charge $40 for that piece once i get these types of parts down.

          So surface prep is paramount. What is the durability of the coating? Does it require a top coat?

            Durability is only as good as your clear. Done correctly its as durable as paint from the factory. I use only the best clear. In my opinion this was not the best hydrodip, I didnt want it to pop to much so I added a flattening agent to the clear.

                    Front fender probably 30 bucks. If you have throw away parts ship em I'll dip em . If they turn out I'll only charge for material. If they come out bad your just out shipping. I have tons of patterns. Carbon fiber is the hardest to do because of its uniformity
