She's a beaut! Black is my 2nd favorite color just after cobalt blue.

Yea...and if you paint flames on the side it adds 40hp too!

Anyway love black, looks sick with a blacked out windscreen.

I have a black ("Raven" ) 08 as well! It has like 17.5k on it... but yeah, I love that bike.

Now I am thinking about blacking out my windscreen... thabks a lot for that idea iron cross... should I just use a rattle can? Or is there something specific I should go with?

I think it was Peter Egan who wrote, "There are only three proper colors for a motorcyle... black, red, and black!"

(mine's blue! )

A lot of guys go with Krylon Fusion...its a plastic based paint and bonds with it. I had my friend paint mine (before I went naked) who works for my Fathers business. Makes vinyl windows and used the same vinyl paint to paint mine (in a heated painting booth, with a spray gun etc) So I cant really speak for any other way....I know theres a thread about it somewhere on here.....somewhere....

OH and go RED bikes!!! HAAZZAAAHH!!! :BLAA:

Previous owner cut and blacked out mine. He sanded it then I assume waxed the front. The back was painted but not sanded and it's quite a rough surface. Like 200 grit sandpaper.

Close up you can see the sand lines and tell it was DIY. Over 10 feet, it matches the headlight plastics well and looks badass.

here is a nice little write up on actually making it smoked instead of totally blacking it out.

DIY - Smoked Wind Screen/Windshield : KawiForums.com Kawasaki Forums: Kawasaki motorcycle forums

im gonna go look for some of this paint today

 

[Shockwave]

DYI smoked windshield

Up close it doesn't look perfect. From 5 foot away and it looks pretty good. I just took it off spayed 3-5 light coats on the inside and let it dry. I think I may do a few more coats to darken it up a bit more... Total cost $6.83

I got the paint at the local hobby store

 

[chomorro]

The guy at the hobby store said a lot of guys come in and get that stuff to black out their head lights.

That's like 3 bucks a person!

You still have a stock windshield for the fazer?
