Yes +1 on getting the ultrafine tip. I didn't and ended up making a mess because I'd obviously had a "too much coffee" day. So, after doing my messy job I decided to get out the paint thinner and start all over. Well as I wiped over the mess an interesting thing happened. I don't think it looks too bad in a weathered sort of way.
Other cheap mods on my bike are the flat-black primer sprayed headlight grill and mirrors, and the hi temp wheel paint in silver that I used to spray my chain guard. I thought there was too much black on the engine. I tried bead blasting the cover but, that black is baked on tight. Oh...one more cheesy thing, I applied a fender stripe with black electrical tape to see if I liked it. Now that's a cheap mod.
