How's everyone doing ? Well most know I hit a deer. I have many scratches and gouges in the fairing , side floor panels , main side panels , mirrors , and even the trunk . last year I did a little painting and went from the first pic to the second and third pic. Also went with the bigger tire look . . This time I'm going to drop the front fairing and paint it also . I'm probably going with mostly flat black , maybe a gloss black on the wheels. I'd also like to use my dremel and cut symbols or words into the side of the front fairing , use clear plastic over the inside of the symbols of words and install led lights to illuminate the carved out parts. I possibly might do this to the plastic between the handle bars. Maybe a symbol in the middle and have it illuminated also . any suggestions or ideas would be great . Thanks , George

Thanks , George That sounds pretty cool. The symbols may show up better if the clear plastic is slightly "frosted"; sanded with very fine sandpaper. Looking forward to seeing it!

That's a good idea , especially during the day . I might cut something like " GY6 " with some type of symbol . Down the side of the fairing . I'll have to come up with some nice graphics or symbols to cut in also , but it should turn out pretty decent !

I should be starting the painting and the fairing carving sometime within the next couple weeks . I'll be buying the flat black primer Saturday . I'm just painting with primer , then I'll wax it . it turned out perfect last time . I should make the scoot look like a light cycle from tron ! Lol

Got an idea for the dremmel cutouts I think you will L O V E, George! Angle downwards a bit to simulate descent at a rapid pace.

No not yet. Probably won't start for about another week or two. I need to save the extra funds to buy the paint and some led strips.
