My F6B parts are ready for pickup from the Hydro-Dipper.He sent over some pics.The front cowl is sick it looks like a Alien face.Should look awesome with the lights I have that go behind the cowl it will look like eyes.I love the way he ghosted in the carbon fiber .batman-smilie.
If you don't mind saying, how much does that cost?
I want to hear about the durability.
I has 2-3 coats of clear coat.So I figure it is going to hold up good .batman-smilie.Quote:

:Saweeet smilie:

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon_mrgreen:
Very Nice!!!!
:yes: Very nice indeed. Cannot wait for on bike pix. How long did it take from drop off to pick up?
Since it was Winter I told him not to rush as my bike was all apart.If he is just doing my parts probably like 4-5 days if that .batman-smilie.Quote:

The Hydro dipping process is really just paint printed on a film. After the pattern is applied it is cleared so it should be as resilient as any good paint job. It is not a vinyl wrap.Quote:

Looks awesome, looking forward to seeing the finished work. 'all/right'
So who is your hydro-dipper???? The parts look great, can't wait to see them on the bike...
Boltar
Sims Designs.You can find him on Facebook and the internet.I put the pieces back on today and it looks killer.I am very very happy by the way it turned out.I was worried the carbon fiber was going to over power the black but that is not the case.Just enough carbon fiber to mix in with the black bike.Next winter I will look into maybe the side covers by the seat and maybe the saddlebag doors to be dipped also in the carbon fiber print .batman-smilie.
