Slappa because it's blue it's worth cleaning it mate. I can understand why you wouldn't bother fella!

Indeed, if I had a blue one, I'd be scrubbing it night and day to remove that insidious tint too!



Actually, I quite like blue, and I'm considering a respray. I have some damage I'd like to clear up, and the yellow paint is just too bloody expensive! Just don't tell anyone!.
(Oh, I like Red too).

Have a nice safe trip
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
The blue is really expensive as well mate. I think they are both Candy shades and have three types of paint to obtain the final colour. Would you be better off going the same route that Seb took and buy a replacement body set from E Bay?tankslappa wrote:I shall volley that one straight back at yaKev L wrote:Slappa because it's blue it's worth cleaning it mate.

Al I have done to my bike today is ride across London and back.

Been to the gym, went for a blat and then made these exhaust kick plates -
and did a bit more to the carb brackets -
Need to cut a few more bits out of the plate which holds the TPS but coming along.
Don't like em? Kiss my butt!!!

looks very nice

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
The brackets & kick plate are cut out of carbon fibre sheet mate. 2mm for the kick plate & 3mm for the carb brackets.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Very nice..... must have been a b8stard cutting the carb brackets. I suspect a Dremmel was involved there. Where do you buy sheets of Carbon from?
Nice one Kev.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
It would be expensive. Economics states the higher the price, the lower the demand. These paint people are really doing a good service to motorcycling by ensuring the hideous colours are kept away from the roads. Simples.Kev L wrote: The blue is really expensive as well mate.
