Fixed Up my Rear Shock Adaptors I made when I changed over to Gazi Shocks.
I made them out of High Tensile and Black oxided them . While the bike was in storage
over my heath and various issues the last couple of years they had gone very rusty.

Just acid washed them and gave them a good coat of paint Looks a bit neater now

I stole lamonster's Plasti-Dip'd clear sport screen idea and redid mine.

I was originally going to remove the decal, vinyl wrap it in gloss carbon fibre, and buy a new decal.

It never occured to me that spraying it from the backside would look as good or better and have better protection - no chipping or scratching vinyl when removing bugs.

I decided to try and match the red stripes and that was a bit tough with the compound curves.
I also screwed up and used a fibre cloth that had TLC on it to clean up the stripe areas before spraying in red and the Plasti-Dip would not adhere.

I ended up cobbling it together rather than starting from scratch and it's good enough. Maybe I'll redo it at some point now that I know it will work.
