Yup...another person doing this mod!
The paint is drying! I'll do a complete how-to for this mod when it is finished, because I didn't find a good how-to on which bolts to undo (although the service manual shows how to do it) so I'll do it for those without one!
w0000 super excited...and yes...pics will come.
How To:
1. Get Supplies
a. Tools (wrench, socket wrench, bike tool kit), paint, soda or beer.
2. Remove seat
3. Remove side pods (unhook rear taillight)
4. remove rear handlebars
5. remove exhaust cover
6. sand cover with 320 sand paper, rub with tack cloth.
7. Paint cover with a few coats of paint. Follow directions of your paint.
I also painted the actual muffler tips too...
8. Allow to dry (too soon and you'll scratch the paint)
9. Reverse the process and put it back together!
Here are some pics!
