Very nice deep colour. Makes it look quite modern

I like that. The mirrors being a matching colour is a nice touch.

I was thinking of doing my bike this Candy Red at one stage.

Are you back in Spain Marty?

So do I. I had either this or jet black in mind to paint my wheels when tyres are due. Not sure though.

I think we have created a monster Marty! Whatever happened to Mr Stock Bike?

Did your mate drop the shock into Hagons?

Anyone remember back in the 90's, I think it may have been Ben Bostrom's red Ducati had both wheels a different colour. Think one was a dark ish blue. I remember it looking smart. Might have to google it actually.

i left it with him on saturday kev, he hasn't emailed me yet, he found the reciept which shows the shock was bought over a year ago, but its only been on the bike 6 mths and has done less than 2000 miles, so i'm hoping it will get sorted by hagon for free, if not i will be very pissed off, when i think it cost £380 and only lasted 6 mths, i reckon a seal has blown making it spill its guts, not sure if thats a easy fix for them tho, and then i'm not sure if i have confidence in the shock once its repaired, lets see what happens...

Fingers crossed they will sort it for you fella.

Apple candy red is very nice, but to be honest I think it suites cruisers more, if I were to spray change my body work it would be racing colours.

it is pretty bad failure for a shock to blow a seal and dump its oil [on the wheel!] at such a low milage, so they should take it seriously and give you a full explanation on the failure mode, the repair they will do and why it wont happen again.

So you have every right to demand some good answers and hopefully when you get the answers you can then have confidence in it again!
