ok so when i started this whole racing thing at the end of last season i was riding round with unpainted , old battered white fairings with a gash blue tank. so i decided to get a colour change ready for the start oof the EMRA season.https://p.twimg.com/AlZxDXGCEAAg8vd.jpg:large

Looking good. do you not need yellow backgrounds for your numbers?

How much did something like that set you back?

£200 really? That's pretty good! Did you have to post all the pieces and if so how much did that cost? Also who chose the design?

i only live 20 minutes away so popped then down in the car then picked them up a week later.

i just told the guy i wanted it orange with a bit of black and to keep it simple and this is what he came up with..

the £200 included barrier coat aswell as primed so i cant complain..

I usually hate orange coloured bikes, but that is spankingly gorgeous. Good choice! ;-)
