- September 20, 2013, 06:53:36 AMI painted my turn signals with Krylon paint made for plastic, they make a primer for plastic also.
I scuffed them up good and used the primer, let it set overnight then painted with the gloss black.
They turned out pretty good...

I've never heard of it???Rattle can would work, but if it was mine, I would have a good paint shop paint them with Endura Hi- Gloss black. it is an epoxy paint, and wears like powdercoat.

- September 01, 2013, 10:16:03 AM lots of options and lots of time, the caterpillars are wearing thick coats, and the beaver dams are being built high, meaning a long and cold winter and a lot of snow this year in areas not normally getting it.......
So I have time to do this project if I go ahead with it, not an expensive one either......could be fun too.

- September 01, 2013, 03:20:48 AMHey ratman, you could always just rattle-can them gloss black. It's not like they'll rust, being plastic.

- August 31, 2013, 23:20:42 PMWell it seem we are following in the same step ratman! Was also planning on installing those there is a mod tip with all the info by chief he shows how to do it without the right bumper http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/bumpercover.html
He said they were like 18$ a piece, far from your quote, i'm interested to order a pair if you find them at a reasonable price let me know!

- August 31, 2013, 22:00:00 PMThey are called fender stays
Thanks Troll, I'll have to look at what is the difference. Also I remember someone mentioning that to, that they had to fab something.
Plastic can not be powder coated, because it is blasted and then charged to attract the coating. At least that is what I have been told. Oh well perhaps one less job this winter.
ok after more looking and reading the rear bracket on a 1999 is part # 35011A = $139.00 on the first bike with the stays is a 2001 and the part # is 35063 = $176.00, so that is a project I'll pass on for now.....

- August 31, 2013, 21:24:15 PMThose bumperettes are chrome, but the problem is your rear fender support doesn't have the necessary ears on it for the rubber mounts to go into....You will have to fab something to attach them. I believe I saw somebody posted how they did it with a 1500...just can't remember where I saw it..Can you powdercoat plastic???
