Colour Matched Products for 2000 model storm

Post by genisis »

Hi all :)
I've been looking at a belly pan and rear hugger for Storm But the paint code is Y163P and i can only find y124p products :cry:
Is there much difference between the 2 colours? or does anyone know where i can get the y163p stuff?

Thanks in advance.

i think mine is the y163p, which is the bright pearl yellow, it has a gold flake through it, the older yellow is more orange and a completely different colour.

i got an undertray from skidmarx, it was a pyramid design and has thier sticker on it, it was colour coded and a good match, needed a bit of trimming to fit but nothing much that a dremmel wouldn't sort.

they were helpfull on the phone but not cheap...£150 delivered for the tray colour coded.

you could also try RS paints if you want to paint anything yourself, they do colour coded kits of paint, i bought one to do a twin headlight kit but not got round to doing it yet so can't comment on the match, the kit comes with primer, main coat, the sparkle coat and top coat if i remember right, plus cleaning cloths and cutting paste for about £70ish.

Thanks, i've been thinking about fitting an undertray i've seen alot on Flebay.

I have read the How to but is it hard to-do can say i'm a bit reluctant to cut up my bike :roll:

Thanks

if you look through some past threads you'll find my, and Kitch's experiences with undertrays, we both bought ones from germany and weren't impressed with the fit, i think they might be for racing bikes where you might take the rear light off.

i cut up my origional undertray to make it fit the german one, then bought the skidmarx one and a new origional from ebay for about £20 and cut this one up taking more care the second time... :oops: you only really need to trim the flap at the back where the reg plate goes, this bit needs to come off completely, and also the corners of whats left to allow the new one to fit over it. i routed my indicator cables through the holes that the corner removing left. the instructions that came with the undertray were reasonably clear as to what to remove and a dremel took it off no probs.

only prob i had was where to mount the reg plate, the bracket they gave me was crap and not wide enough to mount it where i wanted, so i drilled two holes for the plate and mounted it directly on, and also my alarm light and a new reg plate light.

I bought a Powerbronze undertray from a chap on ebay, brand new never fitted and luckily enough painted the correct colour already 8) it fitted perfectly all that I needed to do was trim the pointy cornered parts at the back to fit the rear light correctly (maybe down to the fact I have fitted an after market LED rear light though). You get an indicator support with the undertray however it was just a bent piece of ally so that was scrapped and I just drilled through the side of the undertray where it's triangulated for the number plate mount (unlike the ones from Germany or Portugal it has a surface for the number plate to mount to), then double sided tapped the number plate on. The hole was pre-drilled for the seat lock barrel and you get a good fitting kit with it, although the instructions weren't that clear it's not a bad job at all and took about 2 hours taking my time. I did have to cut down the original tray just behind the tool kit part to fit it.

I think the cheap ones from abroad would be okay if you only intend to use them as a cheap replacement for racing purposes, apart from that I wouldn't go near one.

So I would deffo recommend a Powerbronze undertray and wouldn't quibble if I had to wait a few weeks delivery, the difference they make to the look of the back of the bike is amazing 8)

i bought it from ebay, i think its a powerbronze one, it's going to be a winter project to paint it as its blue at the moment, the light surround looks in good nick, the bulb holders/reflectors and the brackets have seen better days and i've no idea how it fits, lots of screwed rods and bits of mecanno. anyone who has fitted one give me any hints, or pics of the back of the fairing
