Nah really I didn't want to deal with any brake issues like needing to get them bleed, so said F-it just mask the crap out of the ride. In some of the other DIY around the web a few people had done the same. I'll wait to remove them when I do the brakes and rotors.

On the stuff I used just off the top of my head, dupli paint with ceramic, high heat clear coat, had the decals made, and for prep rustoleum wax and grease remover, brake cleaner, dupli paint prep wipes and 340 grit paper.
Thanks again everyone.

Thanks everyone, black and yellow is not for everyone, but with my swag I can get away with LOL.
+ I see so many sheit rockets sport red on their non BBK that I kinda really didn't wanna go that route.
Not to bad masking, just clean them suckers good for sure.

holy cow! just saw the pics and awesome job man! looks very good! Great choice on yellow.

I'm with you man....I'd rather mask then remove the calipers in this case.

Could you keep us updated on how they hold up?
