    FlexSeal will never work, try LeakEnder 2000.

    2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
    1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

      But don't you need an exhaust sample analyzed for that?

          No wonder so many new members either lurk or leave... You guys are just plain a PITA sometimes.

            haha, I didn't read all of the replies, but I quickly realized I asked a stupid question and you guys were going to make me pay for it. Question withdrawn, please forgive me.

                Agreed Bille. You are one of those rare breeds that can take a (undeserved) beating and still be strong enough to stand up and be show courage.

                            That's not bad but I think airbrush is better for it and need to use good airbrush and compressor.

                            Last year I am painted my favorite motorbike using an airbrush compressor kit. I really enjoy airbrush that time.

                                In the event that this wasn't a spoof posting as a joke.....

                                DITTO DITTO DITTO....bad idea for all those reasons.... and another reason it wont work is that a coating that repels water (holds water out) wont necessarily hold water in from the bonded side. Those are separate qualities that have to do with adhesion and the ability to hold back head pressure.
