« Last post by herseyb on Today at 09:01:25 AM »Dang, bud. These K bikes may be the platonic ideal of motorcycles, but i do find them to have a little nagging spirit that goads one to try ever faster around the bend that bikes with less Jawohl!! may not. Sadly our motorways may not be maintained to autobahn standards. Glad there was no sudden stop at the end of that slide for you.

Hey, don't let the cat out of the bag.

« Last post by Filmcamera on Today at 06:54:27 AM »Yes I did use a clear coat on top of the basecoat. I use standard hardener and some thinnner in a ratio of 4:1:1 ie 4 parts clear and one each of thinner and hardener.
I was pretty worried about spraying the clear but actually it was not too bad. I also discovered that if a grinder make you look like the welder you are not then wet sanding and polishing makes you look like the painter you are not! I was able to completely remove most traces of runs or orange peel.

Never heard of one umlaut though, that sounds like the loneliest number since the number one begun.

« Last post by jjefferies on Today at 02:00:39 AM »Couple of questions that I might have missed in the previous posts:
1. You are using a clear coat as the final? You mentioned it but as though it were an option.
2. Are you using a hardner in addition to the reducer? Specifically in the clear coat assuming you did use a clear coat.

36680 original miles, new Metzlers, fresh Oil change and filter, upgraded Spiegler brake lines.
Located in Southern California. Service record for the past 4 years that I have owned this bike.
I am not riding the distances that this bike is capable of, anymore.
