I had my local store call for me and they said that all they could order was some kind of adhesive that you put on before you paint that was like $84 a quart, so i said forget about it. What exactly did you use as a primer?

Edit: Was it one of these? http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/N ... &VehCode=N

I will get the primer code for you... it is down at my friends shop..
I know if you have a local body shop that they can refer you to a place to get this flexible primer...

You can even get it in an aerosol can too!!
I just cant remember the exact name of it.. will get back with u on that..

No.. the charging unit is actually pretty weak...

A CD player from a car has Output signal...it comes with a fairly strong signal but take alot to power one...

A MP3 Player has output signal but is very weak.. and runs off its own power...

SOO... To make the signal of the MP3 Player stronger... you need to use a INPUT LINE DRIVER.... the brand PAC made mine.. also called BASS Boosting line driver...

This boost the signal to a small amplifer..
I bought a cheap MITZU brand amp off of ebay... 5 1/4'' speakers dont require to much power to produce a decent sound anyways...



so the break down is... MP3 Player to Line Driver.. to amplifer.. to battery...

Now i installed a cut out switch to the Remote wire to the amp so i can kill the power to it...

I also added a switch to the Postive line in the headlight.. so i can turn it off while parked to keep some of the load off of the battery...

while the bike is running and the amp is on... it hold about 12.5V to 13V

turn the bike off... and it slowly drains.... at about 7V the amp will shutits self off to keep from blowing up...

thats about it...

Alright thanks. The napa store in my town is a small one and doesn't carry very many paint supplies, nor do they know much about it apparently. I'll almost have to have the number or the exact name for them to be able to get it right.

WOW! That looks really good! I might do my Aero 50 white as well...I seen the european version of the Aero as it comes in white and I'm considering doing it that

Looks awesome. I have an 87 elite. I want to paint to match my 93 civic ex. But red and black... where did you get those honda handle grips?
