Hi, I think my bike has been resprayed, but it looks pretty clean so I dont know for sure. Any thoughts?

[marco427]

You are putting us on, aren't you?

 

[5.4 speedster]

not at all

Definatly a respray! By the looks of the stock mids it was probably sprayed because it was down at one point.

I always assume that a repainted sportbike has seen the ground. Am I being unfair?

Thats how I see it. Its been on its side for some reason or another.

Thats probably right 99% of the time. Theres always that 1% exception to the rule. I usually paint mine because Im a painter and it costs me nothin but my time. I hate stickers! A good tell tail sign is if all the points that could contact the ground have either been replaced or damaged. Like the bar ends, mirrors, blinkers, and foot pegs!
