New plug wire on my D-Tracker (KLX250)
 

Easy, just unscrewed the old one and added the new 8mm one. I shortened the boot that goes over it at the coil end

After I decide whether to use this one or a yellow Accel wire, I'll put a drop of superglue on it at the coil.

I spray the wire with a light mist of clear paint to seal in the color and lettering. -Too heavy on the clear and the paint will crack

Give me a few days to relish the new paint job that was just completed a few days ago?

It looks great - much better than the faded blue D-Tracker plastic that was on it.

For a total of just $50 having a local guy paint the plastic was a huge savings over ordering OE plastic.


Good enough for now


I pick up Kawasaki lettering tomorrow, but have to wait a awhile before applying it

Do you know the specific type of paint he used on your bike?

I just texted him and he said he used urethane paint and polyglos plastic primer (which may be a local brand)


I originally contacted the painter after I saw a Honda XR with a very nice paint job on it a few weeks ago parked outside a store. I waited 20 minutes for the owner to return so I could ask him who'd done his paint.

He said his paint was something like 2yrs old, and it still looked great-as good as my fresh paint does now. So his guy seemed to be the painter to use

TNC , specifically he used white paint and green paint.
If you have any other silly questions let me know. I'll try to helpl... :D

That was very cruel, dan. I've been color blind since birth and have suffered tremendously as a result in my very difficult life experiences. I hope you're proud that you have made fun of a handicapped person. I didn't know that you were so hateful.:(

Really?

color blind? How about trading me your bright green shrouds for my faded green ones then? :D

Green?...I didn't realize my bike was green.:D
