Don,

The trailer looked awesome, before and after the striping. Are you going to get it cleared now?

:indian_chief:


I doubt it Chuck.  If the work were on any forward facing areas would do it without a second though.  Prior experience with other work on other non-forward facing surfaces has always suggested that keeping it well waxed is satisfactory. 

We didn't have a dew that first night so I was able to leave it uncovered.  That helped it cure and a heavy dew left to just set on it could have been bad.  It made the trip home without a mark on it.  Though I have to admit I took a rag with a spot of stripper on it and took off the artist's signature in that tiny little spot he'd done it.  After it sets for another week or so I'll give it a couple of good coats of wax and it should be good to go.

I really appreciated having you behind me on the trip down Travis.  I had no idea what that thing would act like back there.  Getting your input as to what it was actually doing or not doing was very helpful.

On the way back I even pointed the mirrors down so I could watch the trailer's wheels and started playing around seeing how close to the white lines or shoulder I could run the bike without pushing the trailer over the edge.  Was an interesting experience having it behind me.

Was nice being able to easily carry far more than I'd ever need for four days.  Don't think I'll have it behind me for anything other than at least long weekend road trips.  But I am beginning to understand now how nice it will be to have the option.  Hey, just having the space to so easily haul other people's pick up items a couple of times was pretty handy.

Thanks Don.  I'm pleased with the final outcome also.  The painting work really wasn't bad at all; especially the first part.

A local body shop whose work I'm familiar with did the solid color paint work.  I had a used set of lowers and their caps that were scuffed that I'd scored on eBay for next to nothing.  Also had that Street Glide rear fender light part.  They painted the trailer, the lowers and the rear light all for $500.00.  They sprayed the base and six coats of color to get the color match.  Couple coats of clear on top.  The color match is dead on in any lighting condition.

The striping/graphics work cost almost as much.  For just over two hours work that $400 was a lot pricier than the $500 for the original paint work.  But it's a custom painter at a rally event.  So what are you gonna do :nixweiss: ?

The custom guy did make a brown paper stencil to story board the design we'd sketched.  So eash side is as identical as such work could be.  My first suggestion was the bird heads with about 3/4 the lenght of tail they currently have.  And that was it.  Just to pick up the engraved bird heads on the bike and the shift linkage and carry it back to tie to the two together.

That he'd have done for $200.  Once he saw the trailer itself though he started the "well, we can do just that, but it'd look better if we did this too, and some of that, and a little up here."  By the time he was done I was scratching fleas and panting and the price had gone from two to four hundred.  He did do a nice job though.  And I'm real pleased with the results.  So I'm not complaining.
