That's funny...
A front end pit stand will work, too. Check with Cycle Gear for a variety of front and rear models....I got one of each and use them on all my bikes successfully.

On top of protecting your paint and being WAY cheaper (6 bucks a can), the best part is you can just peel it off if you ever change your mind or want to try another color.

I plan to plastidip my wheels soon. Got the cans, just need to figure out when I have time to take off the wheels.
I've tried plastidip before on other stuff and it just didn't workout for me. Plus I already had a few things I needed powdercoated, so I just added it to the pile.

On the signals I removed the factory braket of the signals, used a long bolt, cut the head of the bolt(It's easier if you find a all thread), used two nuts to lock it in place, and used a brake caliper dust boot to cover up the bolt and nuts.

No problem. Maybe I was being to picky but the plastidip seemed to have shiny spots and pealed off easy along the edges. I guess it works as a temporary coating but I just didn't like how it turned out for me.

Mind if we see some close up pics? I'd like to try this also
