kpnuts Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks Stray really peed off sprayed the tank, had it glued to piece of stick layed it on my table hanging over the end to dry came home dinner time and it had fell off the stick and onto the carpet, (insert swear words here) hope a coat of varnish will hide it, what do you think.

Stray Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Its still looks good mate. Maybe try rubbing the affected area with a light sand and doing one more coat before clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 In late 1980 when the GSX1100S Katana hit the street, it was claimed by Suzuki to be the fastest mass-production motorcycle in the world, ensuring the new looks were matched by unprecedented performance levels. So radical was the design departure from previous mass-market cycles, that most major motorcycle magazines of the era thought, the design would not appeal to the masses. Nevertheless it was a sales success, and the motorcycle had a lasting impact on motorcycle design, portions of the design ethos are still visible in many current sport motorcycles, including the faired-in aspects of both the seat and the tank. You've done a great job, i like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Did some work on the engine, its been dropped this side, should I give the other side the same treatment or is that going to far, mine was only dropped on one side but I am sure they have been both sides.

kpnuts Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi all here is todays little bit. I decided to do an experiment I've stuck a bit of foil on the tank and I'm hoping that when ive put the top coat on when I scratch through it it will look like the metal of the tank showing through. also I'm trying to show the buleing effect on a chrome exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
