Nice bike. What engine paint do you use? It is regular flat black, pre wrinkled paint, right? Thanks.

I use VHT wrinkle... seems to be a good match.

I use scotch Brite pad and once painted I use a thin block of wood with coarse sandpaper and a razor blade to expose the ali in the fin edges... very time consuming.

I Have noticed the tread to split on one Shinko (777) that I've had but the other 3 so far are ok..
Never an issue with the Stealth 003 tire..
