They look outstanding Jarrad, what process did you have done, you mention Aqua and/or little beads? ...and what was the taping you had to do?

Road Worthy Certificate

In Auz you need to do one every time you change ownership of a vehicle
or apply new rigistration, real pain in the ass as they go over the bike
with a fine tooth comb to ensure its safe, it can get real hairy when ur modding stuff.
