I like the red disc on the brake pedal...Reminds me of a "Remove before Flight" tag on an aircraft..

Like the air filters too, reminds me of the intake roar on my 750SS.

Like the loop on the seat rail too, much better than a tail chop but only if the seat pan fits the rail exactly.

Regarding the crazing over the filler. I would go with Dookbob. I believe Bar coat is also known as Isolating primer.....Bit late now as you have the top coat on, but persevere with the lacquer in thin coats after the existing is WELL cured.

I had the pitting in the Carbon, as have so many others.
It is caused by pinholes in the carbon itself, formed at the layup stage.
I found that the only cure was to brush on the two part lacquer...Same stuff I was trying to spray, but spraying won't fill the little holes. I used a brush sold in modelling shops for brushing on dope.
The pin holes "bridged" after about 4 coats, flatting between. Then I could spray normally.

....Posted this up somewhere but I can't find my original thread..!!
