Recently, I have put my TW through a transformation in preparation for fall. Normally, my bike is a daily commuter, so I love the white to help be seen by the idiot cagers. I finally got around to building myself a set of racks inspired by the previous work of r80rt and Toyanvil. Front is from 1/2" steel tubing, 11" x 12". Rear is 1/2" solid 6061 aluminum bar, 16" x 23.5". I have also obtained a second tank and a second set of plastics over the past year, so I went with a camo scheme for hunting season...or the Zombie Apocalypse. I decided to use Plastidip (https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php), mainly because I wanted to be able to remove it from the tank at least in the future. I think it came out pretty good. My first attempt. It's mostly freehand with a couple of stencils that I cut out of printer paper to add some dimension and to break up some of the color blends. I've added some of the camo form (Camo Form® Reusable Camo Wrap: Conceal Guns and Camouflage Gear - McNett Tactical) around the handguards, etc. I wanted to be able to switch fairly easily back and forth whenever I wanted. You have to love the versatility of this bike! Although, now that it's like this...I don't know if I'll ever switch back.
