    Painted the Buell

    Took off the plastics today, and Painted the Buell Flat Black - (was glossy black.... or silver at times)

    Also painted my header wrap today.

    Bike looks good. And WOW that front rotor is enormous. Very unique. Haven't noticed that before.

    no way that would be to much black, i think the silver sets it off well. if anything do them some other color that stands out

    Probably because there's only 1 rotor instead of the typical 2 on other sport bikes. Just an FYI.

    It's just an interesting design, with the rotor bolted to the rim of the wheel and the caliper on the inside of the rotor. Very different.

    Yes I understand that gives more leverage for braking and therefor 2 rotors probably not necessary.

    Looks awesome. What was the prep for the plastic? I have the glossy and want to do the same.

    I don't want this to sound bad, but it looks so different that it could only be a toy, it doesn't look real. I just want to put it in my pocket and run home.
