Sub frame paddock stand

Well Kev,you might have one of the slow Blue'uns, but I really like the colour of the engine cases on them later models

You can easily get the cases powder coated to look the same, it's only the clutch cover and water pump cover, and the two alternator cases.

To add to the effect you can get the cam covers done to match, and maybe wheels, rear sprocket carrier.....

Just in the process of having a spare set of wheels powdercoated to match matey. Only your positive comments with regard to the engine cases prevent me from suggesting you need to visit Specsavers, however you should know blue is most certainly the quickest colour, ask the Campbell family!!!

i'm with simo the colour of the later storm casings is much nicer, but seen as i have carbon fibre casings on both sides i don't need to repaint, and blue is the fastest end of.........

Tomato is the most popular soup apparently & that of course is Red.

For the benefit of the Kentish posse The Campbell family did/and do run the Bluebird speed record vehicles, Malcolm & Donald being the main dudes. There was some death involved but they believed blue is the fastest colour. See here -

to be fair though,it wouldn't of been called bluebird if it'd of been custard yellow would it now...

[Kev L]

Quite right Old chap, but I'm sure the blueness of the machine made all the difference. By the way I don't really believe any of this old pony.!!!

niether do i m8...i must admit i was going to have mine painted the later candy blue until i got a quote...would be cheaper to buy a blue bike

i'm about to get mine done in the later candy blue colour, it turns out the colour code has two variants, i've gone for the one closest to the candy finish, you have to paint a silver base coat first so it means more spraying and more paint. the thinners/paint and what not cost me £95 so now it's up to my sprayer, lets see how he does........i'll let you know what happens

Cheers fella, the stand works a treat.
I am having a pyramid belly pan painted up to match the bike soon, must admit to getting a little nervous of the cost now with all this talk of the price of blue paint
Must say BSM is looking well in his new riding kit on his avatar!!

[Kev L]

Tell you what mate, your butt looks big in that!!!!
