    Default Veil G4 on BMW S1000RR.....SUCCESS!!!!

    Got around to putting G4 on the BMW, and I must say using the supplied brushes and a hair dryer to slightly heat the paint and surface to be painted resulted in an unnoticeable finnish!.

    I then headed out with the Laser Atlanta and achieved a JTG on the first attempt followed by several runs achieving a speed reading at less then 50m. This resulted in a very frustrated operator. Untill he decided to aim at my mirror finnish helmet visor which proved very effective till I put my head down.

    I was not expecting such a positive result with veil alone, but I guess the shape of the motorcycle and lack of reflective surfaces assisted in my result. It should be noted that I did not achieve such a positive result on my Honda CBR although still proved highly effective.

    I would be interested in seeing how the BMW fairs against other brands of LIDAR.

    DISCLAIMER: My results are my own, and what I achieved may not be the same as other users so please no negative comments about my results.

    Cheers guys.

    PS Sorry about the watermark on the pics, Im too tight to purchase the full version.

    Thanks for the positive comments. The finish was breath taking. I am unsure how Veil on a visor will affect my vision, but I will try it on an old visor first.

    As for a jammer I still have plans for a ZR4, as I have had excellent results on my car when used with Veil G4.

    Interesting trick with the hairdryer. I might try that the next time I do my headlights. What type of air temperature did you apply in?

    It was a nice spring day here in Aus with low humidity and a air temp of 21 degrees C. I got the hair dryer trick of one of the Veil G4 stickies, Just don't get it too hot or it sets to quick. I also found that using the hair dryer and the headlight heat itself to rapidly dry the paint resulted in a touch dry finish in minutes. Good Luck.

    Seems like the gold forks would give a good reflective surface for laser. Did you veil those too or is that not a problem?

    I didn't Veil the forks, But I imagine that they would be pretty good reflector, I hadn't even thought of that. I shall Veil them this weekend.
