Title: Painted clutch plate. Post by: Rexinre on July 18, 2009, 07:55:44 AM I didn't feel like spending another few hundred on a new fancy red clutch plate so I decide to paint mine... Picts.

Post by: moto-zen on July 18, 2009, 08:01:23 AM Wow! I didn't think a DIY job would look so good. What did you use on the Ducati logo? I think I'll have to follow your example! [cheeky] [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Painted clutch plate. Post by: Rexinre on July 18, 2009, 08:18:21 AM I used masking tape and a super sharp exact-o knife. After I painted the plate red I had my wife (who has a steady hand) paint the ducati logo in yellow with a thin paint brush. She then touched up the messed up red parts with a brush as well.

I was in the same boat (didnt feel like spending cash on a aftermarket one) so I just had my stock plate powdercoated with the rest of my parts... Title: Re: Painted clutch plate. Post by: NAKID on July 18, 2009, 09:09:31 AM Yup, painted my stock PP black a while ago...
Title: Re: Painted clutch plate. Post by: Rexinre on July 18, 2009, 09:27:48 AM thanks everyone.
BTW... Does anyone know how to reset the maintenance light on the HUD? It went in for service but they forgot to reset the light. Title: Re: Painted clutch plate. Post by: nikkimonster on July 19, 2009, 11:28:26 AM nice job. looks good. just saved you a couple of Benjamins.
