    if you had it vapor blasted you could leave it bare metal

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      I dont think vapour blasting could do any better then soda for the finish. It Was quite blotchy even after a very thourough cleaning and degreasing. I even tried dry ice blasting but results were still not up to par and will be needed painting.

      Ill search the board for what i can but ill likely just get an opinion from a paint guy at my paint place. Being such a visable part of a bike i want it to look good for a longer time

        VHT High Temp is formulated for chemical , fuel and oil resistance...that's why they tell you to heat cure it so the molecules bond or whatever they do to harden the snot out of it.

        Type in SP-127 ib the search feature and look at my results. Chandler was doing his 1000 and informed us of the Universal Aluminum and he was spot on right!!!

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Here are some threads to look at.

          Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.
