  1. All those videos are funny, well the DEA one is a little sad. Supposed to be a professional and shoots a gun in a classroom full of kids.

    As for shoulder being hurt, my dad's 30-06 with no butt-pad really starts to take a toll after about 4-5 rounds. Never fire one from a prone supported position, felt that sucker all the way down my body.

  2. so the black and yellow idea went right out the window... LOL I'm thinking about doing a high gloss metallic black and a bright metallic yellow on the katana... and a celtic theme on the cruiser with pearl white, silver metallic, and a deep forest green.... whatcha think?

    Hey, I put your idea in the poll. :D But the more I think of the flat black the more I like it. I haven't seen your Katana so I don't know, but black and yellow usually go well together. The cruiser would look sweet with that scheme though.

  3. It doesnt matter how flat you go that has nothing to do with the protection level. All the flattening agent does is dull the gloss of the clear. You still have a fully protected surface just like a full gloss clear.

    Ok. I guess the eggshell would be the best. I want it fairly dull. You have any pictures painted with the eggshell?

  4. Hey figure out what brand of paint line you use and i can tell you the steps of how to achive the flat look. Its all done with a flattening agent that is mixed into the clear. The ratio's will change depending on how flat you want the finish to be. Whether it be semi gloss, eggshell, or a true flat no gloss. Ive done sevearl Ducati's to match the factory flat black and have to go with the eggshell.

    Let me know Id be happy to give you some guidance.

    Jporter, what brand of paint do we use? I don't remember. I'm looking to go as flat as I can without not having some protection for the paint, so from what I have read I guess that is the eggshell.

  5. For what the issue is. I would think it would have been an issue before you first started noticing it.

    Yeah, I dunno. I'll get the gasket and see what happens.

    ReconRat,

    It could be an aftermarket cover that doesn't fit just right. The previous owner laid it down on that side. One of the cover's bottom bolt threads, on the engine side, are broken off and they tried to repair it with epoxy or something. Which I have to re-repair because the epoxy fell off so there are no threads to hold that bolt in....
