The 650G is getting there...

I had a look today at Bunnings and Clark Rubber. Not sure what your equivalent would be over there for these, but Bunnings is a big warehouse style hardware store, and Clark Rubber does lots of foam, rubber, and pool stuff.

Anyway, I couldn't see any tools in Bunnings, but Clark Rubber have suitable rubber for this at about $5.00 a metre, which is nice and cheap...

I've found an online hobby store that lists U gouges, V gouges, and other sorts of gouges, so they should be easy enough to find.

If you do this, make sure to let us know and show us what you do, that would be pretty cool I think. If I do go ahead with it, it'll be a while off as I have more important things to do first like get some spark happening.

That rubber pad would be really good, but for now it's paint. I can put the rubber over the top...
I like the thick black stripe where the white strip is, like on the tail piece, but it looks too thick around the white area on the tank. It's hard to curve the wide stuff that tightly too.

Actually the paint does look pretty good, and I do see what you mean about the stripe.

It definitely needs something to "separate" the white and red though... maybe just a thinner black?

[tkent02]

Redid the stripes, thinner on the curved sections, it's better but I screwed up the line on the tank...
One more redo and then the clear maybe tomorrow!

Coming along nicely.
Is it just me or is something missing on the side covers?

Looks good Tom! Can't wait for the final clear coats. What kind of clear are you using?

[tkent02]

Xtreme Original ClearKote.
It's a two part urethane, the guy at the paint store said it was easier to work with than some of them.
I hope it doesn't eat the vinyl stripes.

Now that's definitely more like it! Nice one

Those black stripes really make it, and I definitely like the painted knee pad area there too.

The clear went on OK.







Can't wait til it's all polished out and back on the bike.

It is looking real nice. I like those turn signals. Were they something you bought on line somewhere?
