Finally had the cowl painted. It wasn't quite a match as the paint was going onto a plastic surface and I didn't want to spend billions. I paid the guy $100 for the job which included a clear coat finish.

The spraypainter and I are talking over a few more things to make the bike more "individual".

Looks good. Is the colour off or is it just the way the pic is taken?

It does look quite a bit better than white only. And I really have to look to see any differences in colour.

Although I'm not a fan of the seat cowl for our bike, I must say it's certainly a big improvement now that it's painted.

You've got a very nice lookin 'F' there Papa. 8)

Looking forward to seeing your next mods.

Cheers. BB

My registration sticker, which needs to be displayed so that the boys in blue can see that you have paid your current bike taxes. Some people display theirs on the rear, under the # plate - I prefer a more inconspicuous position.
