Plastic dip....is that anything like sheep dip?

Cool idea IMHO, that stuff has really gotten popular for moto and auto usage. Now I must comment however, on that enormous and hideously out of its element Givi Trunk, that looks HUGE and hangs way too far off the back!!!!

Looks better with the side bags on, but if it works.....it's all good!

I like it, and for the $ you can't go wrong. Especially since if you don't like it the stuff just peels off. Like the other guy posted a lot of car forums have people using it. I did my Jeeps rims 8K miles ago and they're holding up great. Even through the winter.

Gotta love a heated garage. Definitely beats working in a parka with frozen fingers.

Doesn't that stuff build character?

yup I am with ya...  trunk will only be on when I make my long trips...!  Cali run 2014!

i agree with you as well ...  trailered up to Chips place, didnt seen any reason to put saddle bags on ...  He wired the trunk for me so that had to be there... 

My only concern would be uneven weight throwing balance off. Of course a moot point if a balance is done after installing tires.

 
 

it doesnt weigh that much!!  And already did 65...70 mph for 50+miles .... NO WORRIES! 

took the plati dip even farther ....  bought the extension for the handle bars from a member (were raw) so needed to cover them up so they didnt rust when I got caught in the rain ... so I plati dip (sprayed) them ....  and then moved to the hub and swing arm ...  love the look and the rims have about 1500 miles on them , NO WORRIES and they look great still ! 

Looks good CMH Guy.  I like the black rims better.

What extensions are those?

Swing arm looks so much better black IMO!

The extensions are made by Phil (Phil'sFarkles, Phil's Rack, Phil's T nuts),  in Texas.  They are made from Aluminium and Stainless, so they should not rust.  But since you were making everything else black, why not.

you are correct ... they are made by Phil ......  and I believe from a few of the messages I got from him he said I should coat them with something .....  But I could be wrong .. 

and i do like black... better than silver!   

well first update ..  I had to get tires out in the lake george, ny and they took the old tires off put the new ones on PR3's ...  And the thought the plastidip would need a big touch up.....  BUT it just needs a little touch up!   

And now for something completely different..almost..

Dang it, I'm in one of those moods, I can't decide if I want to make peace
or stir the pot. 
  (coin flip......hmm.....tails,  it is.)

..SO,regardless of method and ease of reversal, why would anyone want to take perfectly good
silver wheels (that go well with any color) and make them look dirty, black, and cheap? 

 

Marty: Thanks for pointing out the mute vs. moot thing. I am convinced 99% of the people mispronounce and/or misspell the word "moot".  It rhymes with "boot", folks.
OK...that' it for today's grammar session... Sorry.

Wait, what? 99%? In my 55 years on this rock I've never heard anyone say mute when they meant moot, and yes, it rhymes with boot.   

Rhymes with suit too....unless you add an e then it doesn't.
