Wink Some help with the yammie emblem

a quicky one.
Can anybody tell me the distance between the end of one of the side panels and the height where the center of the yamaha emblem is located on the plastic side panels? Anyway the exact location, more or less cause I've painted the panels and forgot to measure

If there is a handy XTX of course

Thanks in advance for your time spent not drinkin

Kinda the procedure you've mentioned afk, but i've used a matt black paint and the look is quite as the tank's colour but not satinized... I'm sorry but I am not familiar with the painting terms to be honest ... like one special undercoat for plastic paint preservation that prevents the paint cracking....

To tell you the truth I'm not that satisfied but I never am anyway cause the type of colour doesn't need as much detail but if you are really planning for something special... hmmmm

when I finish I'll post a link of the beast

Sun is shinnin, beers are calling...

Did you notice the colour of the bike? I would say it is the best colour but it seems some of us are jumping ship?
