I have bought one of these and had it done up to rwb. I also bought a front end paddock stand from this company. In my experience they are a very slick outfit. The belly pan is Fibre glass and is made of two parts, there is a seam that runs longitudinally ( but who the hell sees that) I keep this one on the bike and the CF one is spared the road wash. Drill the pan before you take it to your paint man.

Good value for money.

Stainless would have been the answer - but if in MS - I'd want it beadblasted and Powdercoated.

Shouldn't cost anymore than £25 for the powdercoating.

Need an opinion!

I can’t make up my mind on which alternative to go for.
Alt 1 follows the pattern best, since the rectangles get smaller and smaller downward. But it might look funny.
Alt 2 would have all the rectangles the same size as the lowest on the fairing.

Ok, the options i’ve come up with so far are:
Keep it plain white
Paint it blue, as the original was
As pictures show
Blue, but with white rectangles
I’m open to suggestions. Do you have any?

Hello Tapio

I like the version that has the same size speed blocks, but the colour has to be an exact match to work.



P.s don't listen to blackal as he has rim tape on his machines :wink:

Wot he said. The second pictured option. The first one's a bit busy and has a hint of 'Tesco Value range' about it :)

Paint it blue as the original and graphics if possible.

As per my namesake BlackAl, I'm not keen on either. I would say plain white or blue, and if you want to break it up a bit put a horizontal line of the rectangles (in the opposing colour, of course) along the bottom - similar to the seat unit treatment.



And rim tape

Frankly, I don’t like the sponsor decals at all. They make the bike look like a 2-wheeled boy racer. Or like an 18-year old’s tacky attempt to pimp his ride.
