Little project for 2010

[Thunder]

I knew I'd seen that colour before.....

Now that is just plain scary, I mean who else would admit in an open forum they are into lip stick!

White cable ties

Nice job Roger

£50 to Kenny if he has those shocks away for me

Cable ties will be returned to black when I'm finishing things off, they came with the bike and I am proud to say I do not have any to replace them, as for the shocks and Kenny, there is a court order excluding him from coming with in 5 miles of my place and that includes flying over it!

Will we see a price list or are you afraid of the numbers.

Love the Ohlins

Well now there is nothing to fear in the numbers, planned everything out at the start and so far no surprises, including the Ohlins, I found them gathering dust in a workshop, never been fitted and should compliment the rebuilt and re-sprung forks a treat!

Camera just can't capture the colour, its called Rosso Ink and the colour is contained in the lacquer which is sprayed over a silver metallic base, in daylight it's just stunning!

I have to agree, the colour is quite beautiful.........almost as fantastic as the MX5 LE in Velocity Red Mica parked in the neighbours driveway.

Well got carbs fitted today, another thing checked off the list so a step nearer to getting on the road.

Tried a few more pictures but no way can I get the actual colour and finish of the paint so until I get a set of Verns panniers fitted and the Zumo mounted it won't be heading to any of the weekend meets so you'll not have the chance to see it in the flesh

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Looks great Rog
BUT I think you will have to fit a BACK Brake eventually

Brakes back and front are on the to do list along with some other bits and pieces, aiming to have her out and MOT'd for the first Sunday in June.

I'm probably going to be very unpopular here,,,,,

I think the bike is stunning and a credit to you but I dont feel the colour does anything for it. I know it is a fantastic paint job and the photos dont do it justice, but a sort of pooofy pink,, ???

I think a bike with this syle should have been a more definate full blown colour or even white with colours set in. Maybe some pin stripes or decals would lift your colour a bit.
Sorry thunder, its my opinion but its your bike and if you like it you can tell me to piss off, I wont be offended

Well I do like it so you can piss off!

Like anything in life we don't have the same taste and thank gawd we don't or it would be a boring old world.

What I wanted was a decent paint job without pin stripes or decals, and it's not pink, it's a deep orange but not a standard metallic so your going to have to take my word on it or alternately pop over and see for yourself.

you really have to see the colour in real life it looks a deeper red until the sunlight hits it and it sort of flips to orangey red it is really a good colour in keeping with the bike
most of what you see in the pictures is the orangey colour

Soory, still not convinced,, I'll get me coat

You don't have to be convinced, it's not a requirement for a restful nights sleep for all concerned, as for poofy pink, call it what you like, it's a personal choice and as I like it it will be staying!
