    So, I was changing the oil on my VFR the other day and my brain, which doesn't seem to stop thinking about stuff for the bike anymore, decides it's a good idea to implement it's latest crazy idea. So here it is, something inspired by the RWB and W/B VFRs out there...

    Looks good. Have you seen any changes in operating temps? What kind of paint did you use?

    The only difference in operating temps has been the weather outside. LOL

    It's currently garage bound until I can afford to get a chain and sprockets for the poor thing. As for what I used... It was some high temp (1200*) rattle can stuff, non-ceramic, can't remember the name off the top of my head.

    I don't really see it increasing the operating temps too much, if at all. No real difference from the radiator shops painting radiators black, or even inter-coolers for that matter. It was mostly for aesthetics. Something to contrast the abundance of silver on the bike.
