I painted my bike. Once.

Then i sold the fairings.

was not worth the effort i put in. (to be fair there was large bits of the fairings missing that I had to make up) it ended up being cents per hour....

I painted the bathroom last week, does that count?

Also, bar ends. Shouldn't one be painted red and the other green?

I painted my Kawasaki. Then I panted it again. Then I painted it again. Then I painted it again. Now I have thrown all those parts out because I'm a cunt.

My GN is bare steel and it's staying that way. I think. Or I'll paint it.
It has no bar end weights though, not sure if that changes the charging system though? I think it does throw the jetting out a bit too.

If you have the twin carb GN then you will need the green and red end weights.

Ah! With that set up you will need to up grade to metallic paint or run the gauntlet of advice pertaining to a lithium type battery.
Or you could rejet your old lead acid battery.

Just don't paint the powerband. Spend the money on a quality new one of your preferred colour (check it fits tight).
