all parts get the paint, tomorrow if is the same great day as today, 4-5 clear apply and wet sanding. I want do it alone drewpy, this bike is just for tests, I want practice on her :)). I also paint some bits and a part of the frame to make her look a bit better but is a cowboy job, i`m not ready to remove everything from the frame and completely paint it :)) to much work to find out how to rebuild it and if I do this probably I will have the chance to ride it in 2-3 years :)). I still wait for the fookin bolt I broken and the o-ring rubbers for the cam cover. but I hope I will get them in 1-2 weeks (ajsutton don`t have them in stock and probably they have to bring them from japan or US)

the front mudguard that I use for testing is almost done need wet sanding and apply clear. the result is acceptable. in the pics don`t look so good but its ok I hope I will get the clear tomorrow so I can continue with other parts.

nothing, its a laptop. when you reinstall last time the windows?

yeap, white look better

I use the same for candy blue tommy, I still wait to come. all the others stuffs (primer, black, silver, clear) are autoextreme.

hmm strange, I can see just gandalf and my wife can see just an elvis

i`m stuck at the half way of the cowboyjob paint. I need more clear so, untill monday nothing to do. I I fix the clutch but I will need another piston soon, this is almost done, I broke a bolt on the cam cover (probabbly was fucked because I was gentle). so, the paint, the model is not so awesome but I can`t ask for more because is first time and I use spray. next time I will get a compressor and all the toys I need for painting. I need to apply one more time clear, after this wet sanding, I still don`t receive the candy blue paint but this is ok because i`m not tempted to continue without last clear paint before the blue.

shut up g1hsg, this is not funny

well, I don`t recommend you to try open them slice din you have a good antivirus?

seems like I can`t send you messages foamy, do you have a seat lock mechanism? mine is incomplete.

if you don`t mind, I will join you for this trip

I saw this one vayduh but using a spray is different and also he don`t use to much white paint because he don`t come with another color over it. because I come with blue over, I need use more white. I try with less white and the result was very poor. this is more close to what i want to do

I make a test today to see how the painting will look aproximatelly, I don`t give painting time to dry, I spray after 2 min every wave so is not looking very good. also this blue is not what I want, I just buy a spray for testing, is a bit hard to do marble effect with spray but is good enough. I need some advice about the clear lacquer. what I saw there is 1k and 2k kind, I have no idea what this mean. what is the best?

nice, I had no idea today was 2 august :)) the fj are looking to good for me :)))

I already buy the cam cover gasket 2 days ago , also the o-ring rubbers but in case (I hope no) I will need another one, I will send you a PM. all other stuffs, I don`t need them unfortunatelly. I identity the reason the gasket was burned in one corner (plastic density) in left side, on the air intake, is missing the tube that send the air in this area. fortunately, I found the tube on ebay with 10 pounds but if I found, I will also buy an air intake because this one have a corner missing and 3 holes where the tube come fixed, are broken, I will have some work to do on this to bring it back. anyway, I will take a look at the handlebar switches to see if they are all ok and if not, I will give you a shoot. I wait for the primers to come this week and I will make a test on broken fairing I have, I want try the marble painting and if is looking good coming out from my hands, I think the bike will look candy blue with marble effect. in time I will also need buy another belly pan because this one I have have the left side missing. I can buy new from pyramid plastics or, from fjclub, fiber glass. any sugestion about witch one? the plastic one is a bit cheaper but not to much, 2-3 pounds.

witch one foamy? and what other parts for fj1200 you have?

drewpy, what you use to paint the engine and all those stuffs that get hot?

I never sing this song, but now, for sure I know :)) how I say in squire 2015 topic, peak district is a lot better idea for meeting. I start going past year after airhead post some nice pics from his area. well I don`t find those places but I found peak district and I really like it, I was here 7-8 times and I also visit the caves here. inside the town, (castleton) I find a nice.. I think is something like an inn, a place where we eat, an old man serving in an old house with some nice carousel model (google translate fault if not this is the corect name :)) )

I had the 950 midnightstar insured with them in first year but I don`t had any problem with the bike so I can tell you if they are ok on payments or not. at moment I have both bikes insured with bikesure xvs950a and fj 1200, european breakdown, helmet and leater, accesories, bagages, agreed value, personal accident for both rider and passager, coprehensive cover for riding other bikes, 550 ponds both. the cheapest I can get for all those things from all insurance companies, thats because I also get the club member discount.

thank you tasky and slice. I will buy a membership and get from there the cam gasket and the o-ring rubbers first thing I do today: I have to chose between buying plastikit or plastitech things or do it old school :)) I chose the oldschool because I don`t have to wait untill I receive the repair kit. the fairing had a part missing but the seller give me a broken fairing so i repair the fairing. is not looking perfect but is strong and I hope the primer will cover good enough the repaired area. any tips for removing the stickers from plastic guys?

the o ring seems to be ok slice but the valve cover gasket, because of the heating has become in a corner more like a plastic. this is the gasket I speak about slice but I don`t know is is the same for all models, I see for some models on ebay but nothing about 3xw.

I don`t think you need longer cables, I change my handlebars with some custom and this rise the riding position with something like 8-9 cm. I don`t kow what this mean in inch but I don`t had to change the cables. I recommend you to try first with the old ones, if is not long enough, buy others.

thank you vayduh! seems like this is what i`m looking for

ok guys, I need help, I try to use google translator but you don`t wan`t know how this translate those motorcycle stuffs :)) take me 30 min to figure out how is called in english the gasket :)) so first, tasky, I saw I have oil leak on the valve gasket (I think this is the correct name) is the rubber thing in H. I do a search for 1992 FJ1200 3XW but the ebay confuse me so I don`t know what exactly what I need. you say you have the same model, can you help me find out what gasket I need? second is about painting, I buy some nitrocrap thing, I forget what is the name exactly :)) a paint striper. but I need find out the name of that thing is used before painting, is a base for painting, something like this... sometime this thing is white. there is also the same stuff for plastic but they are different. so, if anyone understand what I speak about, please help me find out how is called in english. thank you very much
