[QUOTE="terrible, post: 1169330, member: 70559"] I'm not much for the yellow plastic on my '04 rm85. I would love to have full black plastic but no one makes a tank in black (that I know of). I've raced r/c cars for over 20 years now and we had a small trick back in the 80's to dye the plastic parts any color you wanted with RIT fabric dyes. Any part that was nylon could be dyed any color you liked as long as you went darker or started with white nylon. Now I know it'd take a hellofa pot to boil these parts in (tank, fenders, number plates) but I have a container large enough and a fire pit in the back yard ;) So do ya think it'll work? The only thing I'm concerned about is getting all the fuel and fumes out of the gass tank. Other than that It's all go but I'm scared to death about heating the gass tank in a pot of almost boiling liquid over an open fire. Just so no one thinks I'm crazy I'm going to drain the tank!!! Don't get the wrong idea. Also not a kid here, I'm a 28 year old man but have a 28" inseem hence the rm85 size bike. :nener: [/QUOTE]
