Very nice Tom! Did you do it yourself or had someone else do it? A lot of prep work before anodizing?

Looks amazing! A lot better than my cheap plastidip

...what I've always told you!

It's not too difficult; the stock parts are silver anodized; the silver anodization is removed (by a shop); afterwards the parts are again fine brushed (I did it); then a black anodization is added (again by the shop). If you'll find a proper shop, they can do it completely for you.

Thanks for the info Tom, I'll have to look around but it sure looks great!

Those are quite cool! I do somehow like the P1 Blue/Red graphics

More and better looking

 

[toast449]

'better looking' is clearly a subjective term

 

[Tom]

...holy moly!

 

[blue_monkey]

Tail tidy + exhaust added. Bar end mirrors and GPS/Quadlock. Next up, going to be fitting the FuelX module and making some touring mods...

 

[yonsson]

Would you, or wouldn’t you? The local firm is releasing their version of this print next week.

 

[blue_monkey]

Not for me @yonsson I think graphics kits nearly always make bikes look worse. But maybe that's my age.

I do like the custom paint job in the other thread @toast449 : https://hqvadventure.com/forum/threads/doing-a-thing-part-2.1726/

I may go the same route when more spare parts are available.

Jfyi, the tank covers (part number: A67608953000) are surprisingly affordable...

 

[blue_monkey]

Yes @Tom I have my eye on those covers. I've always liked the Blue 701 Svartpilen look. Would look amazing on the 801!

With a white subframe, or keep it dark?

 

[blue_monkey]

It has to be white, but that makes it an expensive job

Today I gave the "new" 3M 2080 car wrap a first try; I am very impressed of the material; it works even better than the 3M 1380.

 

[toast449]

I wondered if those panels could be wrapped. You seem to be pretty damn good at that.

Question for you. I ordered the pillion replacement for the svart, going to do forged carbon skin on it. Do I need to order something else to fill in the back or is this what it actually looks like? Pretty ridiculous looking wide open like that.

I was also surprised, but this is what it looks like.
