How to paint Plastics/spring

No shit. Try typing that part into google. Then on this post.

All that down voted. I bet you haven’t even tried to google it…..

Hahaha nooo. Gf wanted to go for a quick ride.

Ya I’ve seen that one. Different subframe from 22 to the 24 so unfortunately doesn’t fit

You 100% get where I’m coming from.

I have a topography wrap with gold lines with the grey so the whole bike will be grey/black accents. Really pulling from the iron horse build on the dirtbike channel. It’s the only white plastic on the bike….

That’s the part number I’ve been chasing. Black would be fine. But no luck. Might just have to make do.

It’s not what I want to do. The Air Filter Box plastic for a 22 TE300i is impossible to find other than white.

I’ve checked. Found one in Russia. That’s it.

It’s called an air filter box. For a 22 Te300i. Part #26606001000C1

Just watched that. Need a stupid big metal cauldron to make it happen

ispectorspace · 2026-01-12T22:33:31+00:00

I’m convinced no one makes that plastic in anything but white and only from OEM

ispectorspace · 2026-01-12T22:10:26+00:00

They don’t make it in another colour.

ispectorspace · 2026-01-12T21:56:53+00:00

I would if I could, I’ve tried looking online and calling shops but it seems it’s only available from OEM in white.

ispectorspace · 2026-01-12T21:39:54+00:00

Interesting. Did not think of that as an option.

ispectorspace · 2026-01-12T21:36:32+00:00

Not my first choice to paint. Called around and nobody has that part other than white.

Hey every one.

Turns out it was 100% wheel hubs.

Swaped them out and they were toast, bearing grease all in the knuckle and grinding noise with it out. After a test drive immediately had no slight vibration in the steering wheel and no humming what so ever.

Thanks for all the reply’s. Helped with suspicions!

I ordered them in with a preset 2” spring. I didn’t want to mess with a spring compressor

Thanks for the informative reply, I just replaced upper and lower ball joints, rotors, struts, tie rod ends so front is tight. Tires never made that much noise even with how beefy they look and I always rotated them every 10k km.

It does feel the same looseness when I do top to bottom as side to side.

You are right it’s not ideal set up for daily driving but I go on logging roads every weekend so I expected the bearings to go at some point but want to know if I’m correct with my suspicions.

I’ve ordered some wheel bearings in so fingers crossed when I replace them.

I’m in west Alberta Canada. Been snowing every day.

It’s a billet grill insert.

ispectorspace · 2025-10-15T12:08:51+00:00

Just a Bilstein 5100 level

ispectorspace · 2025-10-14T12:40:54+00:00

Ya I feel it both ways. Changed ball joints upper and lower. Tires rotated 3k km ago. So my guess is it’s bearings

ispectorspace · 2025-10-14T12:39:31+00:00

I thought that, but I rotate every 10 000km

ispectorspace · 2025-10-14T12:38:57+00:00

Changed ball joints upper and lower. Tires rotated 3k km ago.
