Oh yea epoxy enamel is hard as a rock ... except its ... like very appliance looking. It also may not stand to weather as well as you may hope. It also have long sure times I believe.
Cool.

You gotta let it cure; I used black and then let it sit in the bright southern california sun for three straight days. Rim was almost too hot to touch sometimes. Baked hard now!

I live in SoCal. What's this 'weather' thing people keep referring to?

yeah, you don't have weather... how boring would that be?

Is that a H-1? Nice 2 Smoker

And whats up with the lower fork legs on your GS, what are the canisters?

The Kawasaki is a '76 KH400 - she's my baby! 7,000 miles from new.

My GS is wearing GS550 front forks, they fit right in with no mods. PO had trashed the front end  and a buddy fitted the GS550 forks before I got it. The canisters are anti-dive cartridges, and the forks are also air adjustable at the top.

painted the wheel today. i'm really pleased with how it turned out.

before paint:




primed:




painted:




the finished picture doesn't do it justice. the flash made it look alot glossier than it really is. the satin paint i used is a near perfect match to the stock black wheels.
