Hey, Beetle, thanks for the heads up. I got in touch with Dan and am assured there will be one coming my way soon.

Looks good in the photos. Now I'm wondering if painting the oil cooler is practical. You know, make it stand out a bit more.

That'd look great. Painting radiator fins and getting an even coat would be tricky, methinks.

Edit: I might add a sheet of black aluminium mesh over the radiator.

I used caliper paint. Mist on a light coat, wait 5min. Repeat. Then finish with heavy coat. Worked for me, but bike was almost new so no grime or oil. Might want to brake clean it first. Cover is powder coated.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

That is a great looking cover. My opinion, paint it black.

Regardless of the colour that's a great price!

being titanium,I am considering heating my one up till it turns dark blue. painting it defeats the purpose of using titanium..

GRiSO Capo Posts : 6642 Join date : 2013-09-30

I'd like to see that.

heated up an 'blued' ... I suddenly want one! Would it warp if you did this?

Moby titanium deals with heat well, ill have a play and test that.. they are all sold now. if there is enough interest i will cut some more.I want to improve the drawing, and if i do i would support the wing more and cut from thicker sheet. but the price would jump up..

I agree.
Less in your face with the blacked out treatment...good one Sir. Thumbs Up

How about leaving the eagle and MG in titanium (mask it off) and painting the cover around it black?
I did that on my "GRiSO" cover and I think it looks decent.
