Well, we're talking about late 70's, early 80's so it would be, basically, acrylic based. The only difference these days, even if the paint itself is compatible, is the reducer and other chemicals that "could" react. As i said, MOTIP (which does Dupli-Color over here too) paint didn't have an...

I'm running Koni's under my GL1100. Koni doesn't make bike shocks anymore, BUT a company in Australia bought the rights and are making them under the name IKON (anagram of Koni). For the GL1000 type 7610-1296 For the GL1100 type 7610-1434 For the GL1200 type 7610-1507...

Here we go then.......... The Grand Finale. ***A word of warning for anyone suffering from rheumatic fever, tennis elbow or a pitchers shoulder.... STOP. This next bit could put you out of action for a while*** You should now have a primed, painted and sanded (dulled) part ready for a final...

Where was I........... Oh yeah, color is on and lightly sanded, washed and dried and hardened for a couple of days. Clear -coat using (again) 3 good coats, 3-5 minutes between each coat. Watch out that it doesn't get put on too thick !!!!. If you pin-striped then you have to be careful of...

Okay, here we go. Prepare your work piece (in this case the faux tank) by wet sanding with 600 grit. You want to get all the clear coat off and a nice flat finish in the color coat. Wash the surface with a good detergant and follow up with lots of water, then dry (a hair dryer works well...

Hi Guys, Straight off..... Don't dismiss this as a no go area. It can be done and the results can be very good indeed, in fact better than some "professional" jobs. As a baseline I'll use the paint job i did on my '81 Vetter Interstate using MOTIP rattle can paint (Filler, Primer, Color coat...

Yes, I did the paint work myself........... rattle cans :) . When i find a bit more time i'll put up some pictures (close - ups) and a description of how i did it. Dave.

Thats Holland, Europe, not Michigan :lol: I've been on "the other Goldwing forum" (NGW) for a few years, and was even here a while before the new site. I had to re-register. Obvious hobby is Goldwings, I've had 3 still got 1 (One was wrecked, a 1981 Interstate, but i've still got 80% of the...

Thanks, I'll certainly post some pictures. The bike was a "restoration" project using two bikes to make one (one was a wreck after my accident and the other needed some TLC anyway). I'll put a gallery together and link it through my "signature". For the time being, here's the end result...

Hey Dan, So that's where they came from......... :) Still think they're great photo's........ (almost) Yamaha stripes on the tank, 1500cc Porsche flat six look-alike, BMW gearbox. Gotta love the inginuity of those guys in lab coats. Dave.

Hi guys, Just remember, when you're about to do complicated tasks on the bike, it's always advisable to have some help around. Like when you're synching the carbs........... Dave. :grin:

Usually you only see 1 or 2 photo's of the prototype.......... Enjoy. Dave. :)
