Considering how many people drop their bikes and scratch up the lower fairing... I was wondering if anyone had thought about taking the fairing off, going to the local Rhino Linings shop and having ***part*** of it sprayed... the part that is most likely to come into contact with the ground.
Is this a good idea or should this thread be deleted and never mentioned again?
Some pros I can think of...
1. Next time you drop, you can just wash off the dust
2. Assuming the fairing isn't cracked... if its scuffed up too much, you can just go back and get a quick shot of Rhino Lining (or whichever rubber coat you prefer)
3. Custom colors are available
4. You can spray almost any pattern.. I probably would do a forward slant following the same angle as the seat
Some cons..
1. Adds weight
2. Cost?
3. Might have to wash more often to keep it 'lookin shiney' since the rough texture probably will hold on to more dirt compared to smooth fiberglass.
