SimontieWell back to work this week some what quiter than usual but great for catching up rreally didnt like the working from home thing to many distractions.....
bikes on the other hand have come on a fair bit
the movistar i really though would be a bugg** to decal but turned out really great one or 2 minor issues but nothing mental, bit of a panic when i put the micro sol on it as the clear bubbled right up it settled down by morning, i would have clear coated but due to an issue with my air brush that will have to wait for a week or two and i managed to get hold of some polishing compound so would like to try this...before i sign off on these two
SimontieThe other suzuki xr89 went together well and i never gave the decals a second thought till i picked up the first one for the exhaust can, it just disintegrated i have honestly never seen that before, so i used the ones from the 2000 bike and they were fine, from that point on every care was taken and i managed to get most on with no issues, but all were very brittle i even thought of buying the reissued model to steel them from that kit, i have pictures of them and might print a new set but it looks ok not clear coated yet, worst seemed to be the carbon decals on the seat and tail i have patched badly so this area i will very probably redo, let me know your thoughts
on the movistar i used an after market carbon decal it looks great but hard to see in the pictures
