Did it because his tank was scratched up from a tank bag. I think it looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 At first I thought you meant "linux", as I recently read an article about an electric bike running Linux. After staring at the pics for about half a minute I went "holy crap...is that freaking Rhino Liner on that dudes tank?" and realized what you were talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 No, its Linex on dudes tank.Same idea I don't own a truck and I used to hear Rhino Liner commercials on the radio all the time so that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of any of those spray-on bed liners.

Disclaimer Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 My biggest concern/gripe with that whole setup would be the weight penalty that it would come with to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 weight penalty? It couldnt be more than a pound or two. Now if you want to gripe about it, go for the aerodynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Meh. I'm not worried about aero.Cd as measured from the front doesn't hit a lot of what would be "painted" surfaces (part of the nose, the front fender, and a same surface on the side fairing - depending on the bike).Besides, these fly really well, and that's basically the surface you have - just with less uniformity.

Disclaimer Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Specific Gravity of Rhino Linings (Polyurethane/polyurea) is listed as 1.06-1.08 g/cc, so for a 1/16" (1.6mm) minimum coating on all the painted surfaces. I have no idea what the actual painted surface area of a bike is (varies anyway), but let's take the dimensions of my SV for instance.Wheelbase = 1435mmHeight = 1170mmSWAG'in it... paint covers about 20% of that entire surface area rectangle of wheelbase and height, or about 3357 cm^2.I figure that's a conservative estimate (no? I dunno), but for shits and giggles, double it, to cover the other side (and we'll already count the fender and front fairing into that final number to be even more conservative)...so we're now at 6714 cm^2. Multiply by 0.16 cm of thickness = 1075 cc'smultiply that by 1.06 g/cc = 1139g.... yielding approximately 2.5lbs of Rhino Lining on a relatively naked bike.Using the same numbers with paint (Dupont Imron 6000) - lets say you go big with 10 coats at .0025cm/coat, 0.025cm thickness. The paint "theoretically" covers 858 ft^2/gallon (aka 797,108 cm^2/gal), and one gallon weighs 9.54lbs. We have to cover 67,140 cm^2 (10 coats) or 8.4% of that gallon -- or 0.8 lbs of paint. +/- 10% fudge factor for each for my back of the envelope calculations, rounding error, and assumptions... you're still looking at around 3x the weight for Rhino Lining at minimum recommended thickness vs. paint coated overzealously. And that's for a relatively naked bike - if you Rhino-line vs. paint a fully-faired bike, the added weight of the rhino lining will be even greater.Alas, you're right - it's not MotoGP, but added weight is added weight. That's why a Lotus doesn't handle like a Caprice.*Not responsible for inappropriate assumptions or bad calculations.Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_SV1000http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/US/html/visitor/common/pdfs/b/product/dcf/OEM_Fleet/Imron6000.pdfhttp://www.rhinoliningsindustrial.com/gfGy6S44anlz/1234472359HardLine%20dSheet_4993.pdfhttp://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/density-specific-weight-gravity-d_290.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
