I have seen this on here but when I search can't find it can someone help as I have the hammerite smooth gold but dont know what primer to use due to heat etc...
Any pics would be great, no advice not listened too..

Aso any advice on the fitting of an 03 cbr 600rr rear shock would be great too.. ( I only weigh 10 stone) for my road bike cheers in advance guys

To be honest I wouldn't use anything other than VHT paint.

I've used it on both front and rear discs and rear caliper, it's fantastic. Good prep, a good few light coats and a proper bake in the oven and it's rock solid.

damn same price as the hammerite, and I only bought that after reading a thread on here some time ago (now i cant find it).. Thanks bikemonkey .. How long do I have to bake it for.. Also any suggestions on the primer needed mate as I would have thought that would have to be high temperature also... Thanks for the reply

You don't need a primer for the VHT stuff, it's a straight on jobby.

The instructions for the baking are on the tin

Thanks again mate... Wouldnt know anything about fitting the cbr shock as well would you... It arrived today and I cant wait to get stuck in for some winter upgrades.. thanks for the help Anthony

Not a clue sorry

No worries ... Thanks again for the paint link much appreciated mate..

With the CBR shock you need to shim either the top or bottom mount (sorry cant remember which), cut off the rear coil mount on the subframe, chop away part of the battery box and move the battery up. Being only 10 stone you maybe ok but you might find it a little soft without fitting a harder spring.

Thx munky... Would facing the battery front to back and fibreglassing the cuts be a better option mate... Sorry question mark dont work on my keyboard...
Where would you suggest I put the coil mount on the subframe after mate.. Also could you help with finding some pics or more info for me as when I try to search for something on here I can never find it mate...
I do remember seeing a thread where somebody had done this some time ago and there was a few pics but I cant seem to find it now I have bought the shock... Also gutted as I have been told I should have bought the s1000rr shock for about the same price as I paid for the cbr one ... Ahh well commited now lol...
Cheers Anthony (chuckles)..

Thanks for the advice with the calipers bikemonkey... Here are some pics of the finished result...
