Just an update for those who had read this Uly update thread.

If you remember, I used RIT brand fabric dye to change the color of my fly screen to Sunset Orange(red as most people call it).




Well, RIT just isn't the RIGHT solution for this job. It appear that the dye is effected by UV light. I noticed that the color was fading, but when I took the wind shield off, I could see that the part under the smoked shield was much darker.




So I decided to go ahead and paint the fly screen, and while I was at it, I painted the HB luggage accent pieces too.




I went to the local auto paint store and had them match the color for me, it is very very close, although not perfect. In the sun it looks nearly perfect, but under artificial light it looks a shade more orange than red.

I also had some little dust and dirt bumps in the finish because I just sprayed it in the garage, but after a little advice from "Etennuly", I buffed it out (for like 30 minutes ), and now it is super smooth and really looks great!




BTW, for those interested, I used PPG Deltron 2000 for the base, and DCU2021 for the Urethane clear coat. It was not cheap, about $200 for the supplies, and I have enough left over for several more jobs, but overall I am very happy with the end results.

Spam destroyed.

Maximum, do you still have the Uly? I saw a red Uly with the luggage inserts painted red on I684 in NY last Friday going the opposite direction, it instantly reminded me of your bike.

Yup...I still have the red Uly (XB12X). I still have 3 of my Buell motorcycles...including a translucent blue XT and a white 1125r. I don't ride as much as I used to...life has gone in different directions and I am WAY to busy the last several years.

I hear you on that. I used to ride around 30k miles a year, now I'm not even sure if I will hit 3k this year.
