    I applied the plasti dip on my brother's bike. It didn't work so well. First, it wouldn't go down into the cracks. Then, I put RTV into the cracks, and the plastidip wouldn't stick to that...

    Now, when my brother's bike runs, you can see the cracks vibrating open and closed.

    So, I would call that a failure!

    Any updates to if these methods hold up? Did you take the boots off or keep them on to apply the coating used?
    Thanks
