DIY whitewall for all models
Well im not sure if i am allowed to post this here, if any mods need to move this please let me know.Well i finished the 11sf and 1 week after riding i had a fuel leak from carbs....major.... a buddy of mine called and asked if he could start it up to show his dad.....i said sure..i guess, big mistake. the bike has a hidden kill switch and a hidden start button. he thought the battery was dead so he rolled it out of the garage(thank god) and began to try and jump start the bike.
he turned the fuel to prime and it just kept pouring out ....he didnt notice?
anyhow he started it and began to remove the negitive jump....and bang....
instant explosion....bike went up in flames. that was my baby.
but i needed to change a few things anyway...leaking carbs wheels and motorwork. i will be posting pics of the after effects soon. the engine has been overhauled and dressed up....lots of custom work. i tried to purchase new whitewall tires and came across the same prob. as usual. none to be found for this model...dont wanna change rim size..i could just dont want to.
so how to get whitewalls when there are none....i have seen the white wall paint...at $120 a can, Tire paint at $20 a can and even people on youtube saying to use regular white paint.....hmmm not on my bike. so what to do.
well i am a licensed contractor and i happen to know chemicals and chemical compounds very well. so i thought what about seal a flex for roofs...it elastomeric and wont split crack wear or anything for atleats ten years..then you just reaply. so do i have any hmmm yes but only gray and red top coat.... i have primer for epdm and rubber coumpounds.....so i went to lowes...and then homedepot and forund white elastomeric roof compound its called ultra roof 1000 and comes in a few different sizes. its perfect bright white good coverage and just what i needed. i gave it a few light couts and the a finish coat. the wheels look great. oh and remember if you decide to paint your rims try and not use rattle can if you do whitewalls if you do use rattle can be sure and tape off the rim on re installation or you may discolor the top coat...if that happens a good spirits will remove this problem.good luck and merry Christmas
