    Did a couple small things over the week after work. Was pretty rainy all week so not much riding. Changed the oil in both engine & primary, Installed some LED turn signals front and rear with an EP36 LED flasher that I saw someone else on here had used. Wrapped the exhaust with some PTP turbo lava exhaust wrap left over from a friends car. Also picked up an OE 2010+ taillight. Loving the bike so far

    Couple updated pics.

    Welcome, Nice bike , Not a fan P dip , Had one once it took forever to peel that off, Just my opinion dont like the header wrap, In my mind its to cover up a dented pipe.

    Yeah but, he installed the wrap so, he knows if the pipe is dented or not, besides, it's his bike. I hope your boss gave you good terms. Oh yeah, I love VT, use to live up at Jay Peak, many years ago.

    Good luck with the bike !

    Hey Silver, the trick I learned with plastic-dip is to lay it on THICK. Thick coats, and a lot of them. When it's thin its pretty close to just spray paint

    Sorry for the de-rail

    Cooter , I bought a bike it was already thinly dipped, But you are correct THICK would have better to remove...
