Howdy doody folks,
Just had my new michelin pr2s fitted yesterday(only done 20miles so far DAMN WEATHER)so still scrubbing in, but already can feel a big difference compared to the d220s and they got some hammer:)highly reccomended.
Anyways,decided to pimp them up a bit today with my tyre pen.
Took about an hour both wheels both sides 2 coats.
Hope you like.

but I spy with my little eye a chrome oil cooler cover :)
Just ignore me, I'm having one of those twisted evenings. Do what you want to your bikes, everyone's an individual (and I know if I started trying to make my bike look better I wouldn't finish a single thing off and I'd never get to ride it, so I'm just jealous).
Did you get the 20 quid of free sainsburys fuel michelin are offering with pr2's? there's a form on the michelin website for it.

Available in many colours(think it cost around 3 quid online)HTH
Note to Hovis
I am NOT a chav,and i would hope the bike does'nt look to chavish(hell,that'd never do)just like to try and make it look nice and indvidualistic(is that a word:))thats all.:)
You missed two hours of riding to do that? You tart! :)

Yea I found them on Ebay. Might get a couple... Ill see. I need to get the bike on the rolling road to see about the power of the bike and check how its running (lean since the new cans...) and see if ill need a new Eprom chip to sort it like. :S

Robo that is a VERY nice example. The only thing which I wouldnt have on that would be the blue flames, but apart from that :thumbsup:
