About Me

Henry Martin spends his nights writing fiction and poetry, which predominately deals with the often-overlooked aspects of humanity. He is the author of three novels: Escaping Barcelona, Finding Eivissa, and Eluding Reality; a short story collection, Coffee, Cigarettes, and Murderous Thoughts; and a poetry collection, The Silence Before Dawn. His most recent published project is a collection of Photostories in five volumes under the KSHM Project umbrella, for which he collaborated with Australian photographer Karl Strand, combining one of a kind images with short stories and vignettes. He is currently working on his next novel narrated in two opposing points of view. He lives with his family in the Northeast.

Painting Givi Motorcycle Luggage - Part 4

The Givi project is finally done. Life got in the way, so it took a bit longer than expected, but it is now done.

The procedure was:

Scuff the cases, wash with a special SEM detergent to remove mold release. Wipe with SEM Plastic Prep, Prime with sandable filler primer, wipe again, the shoot with a color coat followed by a coat of red pearl, and then clear.

I also wired the Givi tail light to the brakes, so now it lights up when braking.





In the mean time, I installed a set of Motolights with LED bulbs to help with night time vision, plus changed stock headlight bulbs to the Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. The first night ride will tell how that works.
