    Question Body Man/Painter Sought

    Can anyone recommend a local (RI/SE Mass) body & paint guy familiar with working bike plastic?

    Found this near cherry '96 VFR 750, sub-19k for what I feel was a great price:


    Included service manual, cover, GIVI 21's & tailrack and my brother copped a new pair of SIDI RR boots out of the deal too! (Too BIG for me.)

    Has these minor scars from a tipover the previous owner had at the end of his street:



    I'd really like to have these boo-boo's erased... I know, I'm anal!

    Hope to hookup with someone who can do a nice job fixing and spot painting for a reasonable price.

    The rash on the black belly pan (3rd pic) I can probably clean up myself.

    Thanx for any help offered!

    You mean these guys: http://www.peachpitltd.com/

    Looking for someone I could drive to-and-back after work but it
    certainly seems like they could do it!

    Re: Body Man/Painter Sought

    I had my stuff done at Peach Pit a number of times.

    He did the original job


    Then I turned it into this


    He gave it back to me like this


    Ive since then beat it up again and did a spray bomb which didnt come out so well.


    He is now making it look pretty again

    I just emailed the Peach Pit crew. Looks like I will just slowly repair my bike back to its shiny days.
