I like the hell out of the color. But I think that paint is meant for more arts and craft type stuff, yard sale signs, etc. It just wouldn't coat for shit.

Yeah I don't think those florescents are meant to paint body work with. What you could do is find a yellow you like and then use the florescent to do a top coat that will give it a bright tint to it.

Yes, I could. But that sounds like waaay too much work for me.

I just hope I can get this damn zuk back together after the track. The Kawi wasn't nearly this tedious.

I'm thinking of just leaving the track plastics on, wiring a light to the front, putting the tail section back on, and off I go

Did some work during lunch. Got the upper on. This is going too well.

Side view. There is a spacer behind the fairing. Bolted right up

Ram Air held with the original plastic rivets

Front is held with the bracket that hold the windscreen and mirrors.

Spent $2 on the screws that go where the mirror holes are

I'm dead serious. The swap out is a PITA. I can put a couple of lights in place of the mirrors.

I hope to be doing a trackday once a month or so. I can't see doing this every month
