I shall volley that one straight back at ya :biggrin

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

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).

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?

The brackets & kick plate are cut out of carbon fibre sheet mate. 2mm for the kick plate & 3mm for the carb brackets.

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. :thumbup:

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. :wink:
