Researching it looks like I can buff out most of the little scratches in the carbon fiber Most CF stuff can usually be clear coat and it all look brand new. I never tried it on an exhaust. Not sure how it will cope with the heat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted December 11, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hmm.. it's not too bad, so if nothing can be done I'm not that worried. Something to sort out in a few weeks when it's cold. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted December 12, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sprayed my trim pieces flat black today, I used the heat resistant engine flat black to match the block. Not too bad and this stuff dries really quickly, like 5 min or less. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f118/guerro501/IMG_0556_zpsbfd523e0.jpghttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f118/guerro501/DSCF5629_zps4de871ea.jpghttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f118/guerro501/DSCF5631_zpsbc1993d9.jpg Think I'm gonna spray the passenger peg brackets the same color to blend everything.

cassecou Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Did a quick editing of a video, riding the FZ-07 showing the Mobius camera waterproof abilities. http://youtu.be/Jz4lnwONrVQ What do you think of the camera? Looks like it has great resolution, what is the price range?That camera is unbeatable for $70, its called the Mobius camera. 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps. Very good image quality. I and many others have been using it a lot on RC planes and drones. here is a link to our site where I talk about it.http://fz07.org/thread/1088/action-cameras?page=1 And here is another link to this camera and some others, with very informative videos to watch.http://fz07.org/thread/1088/action-cameras?page=2 I am waiting on the delivery of a wider lens for that camera. This video is taken with a narrower lens, "A" lens. The "B" lens is wider, and can be ordered already mounted on the camera, or separately, like I am doing. Here is a site with ALL you need to know about it.http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1904559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the atta-boy on the bike all of the stuff thus far has been pretty cheap.You are welcome, your bike really shines. For the Mobius, you can find it in many places including Amazon, but the original vendor is still eletoponline365 and can be found on Ebay athttp://stores.ebay.com/eletoponline365/Mobius-ActionCam-/_i.html?_fsub=6055299015 Most of the Mobius found at the $70 price range comes direct from China (China takes 2 to 4 weeks). Some more expensive Mobius are found in some American retailers and will get to you a lot faster . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minner Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Installed the Fabbri Gen-x sport screen and bought a Sony hdr-as20 cam to capture some rides.

cassecou Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Painted the tank with Plasti Dip with their yellow Blaze. I was not very pleased with the entire process. First it took 10 coats, certainly due to the original darkness (Grey) of the tank. Second, the spraying nozzles get clogged too easily, even after I turn the cans over and spray to remove any excess of paint left inside the nozzles. Third, the paint will sometime come out in small chucks and make an uneven surface (look at the close up picture). Fourth, the color was not as yellow as I had hoped. And fifth, the final product feels very tacky to the touch. What do you honestly think? I might peel it out before I screw everything back on.http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag272/arnau11/IMG_1102_zps54ef6e11.jpghttp://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag272/arnau11/IMG_1105_zps28e740db.jpghttp://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag272/arnau11/IMG_1108_zps070cf6c0.jpghttp://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag272/arnau11/IMG_1109_zps661f1308.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "ifs, ands or buts"...[em]do it now. [/em] Yamaha has always been known for their high performance AND high style motorcycles right out of the box. What is it anyways with all these folks who insist on messing with the looks of their new bikes? I suspect the guys who plasticize their bikes, for example, do it for the same reason a dog licks his "other" orifice...simply because they[em][strong] can.[/strong][/em] Again, you asked what we honestly think so I'm honestly telling you that I think it looks like someone went and took a bird-crap yellow highlighter pen to your motorsickle.

cassecou Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks a lot zephyr07, that's the kind of honesty I was expecting. After much looking at the bike, I came up to the same conclusion, it got to go. My daughter thought like you as well and SHE wants to peel it off.

Just remember that I seriously was not trying to insult or berate in any way. Your 07 looks much better in her OEM graphite/blue scheme but at least now you know how that rattle can, plasticizing stuff works. I'm thinking of getting some myself to touch-up an old wheelbarrow sitting outside in my backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassecou Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Don't worry at all , I LOVE constructive criticism, and can not stand the "feel good" criticism, its the only way to get results (hope Facebook will come up with "thumb down very soon"). On the other hand zephyr07, WE have to try what WE feel might work. Often we fail, but sometime we succeed. That's because we can, and believe me, Americans are better at it than anyone else in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassecou Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 What about peeling off the Plasti Dip? you ask me. Well, that was a breeze. That's the part I loved about it. My FZ-07 is already back to factory colors. It peels right off. A little bit harder to remove where only a few coats were applied, but overall, a child game.
