Mine's same as Lloydie's, but sprayed graphite metallic, and to stop the paint chipping on the front of the nose section behind the front wheel I stuck a freebie Dunlop tank protector on it and sprayed over the top.
When I get around to repaint mine I'm just going to use some thick vinyl at the front to stop the stone chips .

Lloydie- I think it was a cry for help as your bike wished it was all yellow after you fitted the belly! Your yellow decals look good!!
Griff.
Yer them decals when remover I should get 10 bhp more lol

My bike had been down on the rhs at some time in its life .
Rhs fairing was sliver
Tank was red
And belly pan was yellow .
It's a mixed matched bike
So when I get it stripped and repainted
In Lamborghini green with a gold shift it will be super sonic :-)

Seb, Twas £99 plus £7.50 delivery - they are "manufacturing" it as we speak and will be here in 7 days I am told!!

http://www.skidmarx.co.uk/product.php?id_product=50038

Just looking forward to fitting it and seeing a different look for my bike. Its good seeing Al's AMCQ46 - as I know his looks ace IMO!

Though if I owned a dog house, then id be in it at the moment, if you know what I mean!!?? She wasn't too happy as we are just getting ready for a house move ££££££££s!

Happy days. Griff :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cheers Al- I've just heard back from them confirming all necessary fittings are included. Did you have any dramas fitting it? Griff.

Na, it's fairly simple, but i did cut up some old wellies to make some rubber washers to fit under the bolts that tighten onto the GRP and made sure they were loctited so I didn't have to run them too tight.
