I painted one white once. well lets say it looked good for a day. after that it was always dirty. I ended up stripping it back off and went back matte black for many dirty reasons. yes, I used automotive base coat then clear. It will look good but it will always need cleaning. I recommend rock guard as well. That's my nickel on it due to inflation .02cents doesn't do much anymore...lol |

i saw a checker yellow/black pattern a few years ago at buelltoberfest. didn't see the guy to ask q's but it looked neat. i haven't done it my self, so minimal value added |

Optimized how often did you clean your bike? I clean my every other tank did you clean yours more or less than myself? |

I should pay you to follow me and clean mine, you would of have to done mine at least twice today at that rate |

This is just too funny, lol In the year I've owned my S3T, it's been washed exactly once, and that was only after a cross country ride. My CR has been washed maybe 3 times. They'll both get a cleaning this week, though, but only because I need to do the car good and waxed before winter. |

> My under tail looks just like shredded rubber. Mine too. And other schmutz. I really should take better care of my bikes. They are soooo filthy. |

Clean a bike? Why would anyone do that?
