I can't say that you have surprised me there yella! I got it from ebay by the way for the sum of £80 all in. I looked at the Powerbronze one but it isn't what i was after.

I am going to get it done yellow, getting the paint through a contact of BarryH, veryreasonable have been quoted £40-£50 for the paint in spray cans and will do it myself. After all i re-painted a new door on my Subaru and got a firm to lacquer it and that looked alright. Will post a new photo when its done.

Thank you all for your help in getting me to this decision point.

Go black, for sure.
All yella and it'll start to look like any other fully faired sports bike. Except with that sticky-outy front downpipe hanging out the fairing.

Black and it'll break up the line a bit, look more like a storm with a tidy bit on the bottom.

(or do what yellafella did, break it up with some other graphics)

Hmm, Looks like I was in a time warp or summink.. you decided to go yellow anyway. ignore me. I'm out of it.

Get the laquer from wents also if it needs it. They'll supply one with an "air dry" activator so no need to bake. I've had decent results using their paint systems. Even on the metallic silver on my Range Rover.

Where were you then???

Was that your red VTR at Box Hill yesterday with Leo Vinci cans???

Just got back from a week in Greece, soaking up the sun and watching the locals caning their scooters up and down the beach road. Got home and was in my leathers in about ten minutes flat and out on the roads.

Good to be back :wink:

So it's not too late then? Listen to Trebs. He knows about colour... Don't go yellow for the bellypan! I've never been able to put a finger on why, but he's right. Looks too much like it's fully fared...
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
