Is that "digital camo" paint or decal? If it's a decal, any info is appreciated. Is there an "Urban camo" (gray-white-black) available? Thanks in advance! See you in October? |

Looks like it would be pretty difficult to do the "tank". Have you done your bike? |

As long as you heat it (without burning a hole through it) it's pretty easy. Takes time, patients and a nice solid squeegie. The type that comes with automotive tint. Heat guns you can get at radio shack for a decent price. I'm eventually going with a wrap...and will have a second set of plastics line-xed. |

Yep its Pete's sons stuff. It is very nice and easy to do. It looks great if you aren't up close at it, but up close you can see all my screw ups like air bubbles and wrinkles. I am getting better, and might end up redoing a few of the pieces. I am going to be doing the rear hugger and the side cases next. As for the airbox cover, they got a video on their website doing a tank on a GSXR or something, and it shows that while not easy, with a couple of hands and some time it can be done nice. |

Froggy, What are the clamps on the headers for? |

Froggy...I'd leave the airbox alone with it being translucent and vinyl the rest. I think that would look pretty cool.... and just happens to be an idea I had for my bike... |

Thanks for the insight. I may just give it a go. What are the clamps on the headers for? They hold the header together. |

The header is 4 pieces, they hold the middle parts together.

Yep that was my plan. A few more pieces are getting done, just pending time to do it. |

I really like the DigiDark. I'd like to do my frame, and chin fairing (sides), possibly the flyscreen and fenders. No sure about the tank, and other plastics yet. |
