I wasn't sure either that's why I used the plasti dip first. It's pretty straight forward, I pulled the wheel off (some people don't) but it made it easier to get an even coat all the way around. Only tip I have is spray the first coat light and go a little thicker with every coat. At least 4-5 coats, the thicker it is the easier you can peel it back off. Heres a plasti-dip thread that's got some great tips and tricks and pics

My Gauntlet showed up today. Unfortunately, I work nights so I didn't get it until 11:30 CST and it is like 25 degrees, so there will be no night time installation of this one. Plus, I'm not sure how much headlight work I'm going to have to do since I'm converting from the Ness.
Initial impression? Impressed - the fairing itself is solid. Way, way more substantial feeling than the Ness was out of the box and I love that it is all one piece since I have no intention of installing a taller windshield, well, ever. My Ness has been installed for like ~3 months and is already cracking at stress points; I don't expect this Gauntlet will ever crack based on its thickness and overall finish. Only time will tell, I suppose, but even if it does I doubt it will be in 3 months time.
The mounting kit seems pretty solid as well. I'm not convinced that it is $142 solid, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they are a small company and it looks like it will be way, way easier to install and get lined up just right than the Ness was. The quick release for the fairing itself is nice as well, so bonus points there.
I would normally move the bike around back, turn on the flood light, and install it despite it being midnight, but it's just too damned cold to do such things right now and I want to make sure I do this one right, so all I've got is a product first impression right now. I'm planning on knocking it all out this weekend and during that time I think I'm finally going to finish wiring my bars internally, so pics will follow.
In other news, I popped off the exhaust (read: man handled the **** out of) the other day and installed the new exhaust gaskets. Ef me this exhaust is a pain in the *** to get off and on... Anyway, I feel like I got a better overall seal this time around and my decel popping has lessened, but isn't gone completely so I think at this point it is just a matter of reaching out to Fuel Moto for tune help.

That is what you get if you over-torque a brass breather bolt. It snapped off in the case. After I extracted it, I improvised my own breather bolt by cutting a piece of fuel line, stuffing a piece of foam filter in it with a mesh screen, and placing it over the original bolt nipple. It's temporary until I get a pair of non-brass bolts.
