Matching Fan By mthomas (Read 965 times)

So I decided to take a look at my rear brakes today because they have been squealing aweful. I take off the rear wheel and decide while I have it off , I would paint the motor fan to match the bike like I have seen advertised and on other bikes.

So I pull off the white fan and it needs cleaned real bad. So I get some Mean Green (found at your local Dollar General Store) and scrub it with a toothbrush, cleaner and water.

I found some Dulicolor red that matches pretty good and I have been using it to touch up scratches and things. Two coats on both sides with a real light first coat.

Put it all back together and took it for a nice ride, must have gone 30 miles today. I even ran to Wal-Mart for the wife, don't mind running errands as much.

I know that this is an easy mod but I thought I would post it for anybody that wants to do an easy thing to personalize their bike.

WOW that looks really nice. Much nicer looking that the stock white plastic.

Very cul. I've got my shroud painted red, I think I'll do the fan red like yours and they'll match:

The best part is that since we all know red is faster, the fan now keeps the motor cooler.
