I was cruisin here on the forums and i seen a post where a member painted his plastics with rustoleum paint. Is this recommended if you wanted to change the color of your bike yourself? What are the steps to change the color of your bike? Do you need clearcoat? My bike is blue and i want to change it to grey or black. Thanks!

One is his shock resevoir (front) and the other is his oil breather catch can (rear).

the breather catch can keeps the oil from the breathers from either A) going into the motor where it is routed stock B) from getting on your knee

The steering dampener, or one similar can be found on ebay once in awhile, or here new:

or

steering damper, it does not dampen (that would be making your steering wet) your steering.
