Nice, why the yellow tail?
I knew someone would ask!
My mate who owned the bike before me bought it from a lady who had a very minor drop and she sold the bike to my mate for peanuts. what ever way she came off or dropped it the only damage was a cracked tail end and a scratched mirror, no front fairing damage at all.
So a new tail end was bought and he thought the yellow instead of black would be a nice contrast, i happen to agree and then i bought the bike from him.

I'm sure someone else here has a yellow tail on a different coloured bike, red it think.
I know what your saying about a contrast still trying to work out if I like it though...
although youd stand out in a crowd ;)
If you still have the old tail plastics and all that is wrong with it is that they are cracked, then I would be interested in buying it if you have thought about selling it.
PM me if you are interested in selling.
Oh and your right, it certaintly is contrasting. Think you should get the rear wheel yellow as well.
I just rang my mate but he does not have the damaged tail piece, he chucked it when he replaced it with the yellow one.
I like the yellow rear wheel idea though, but i would prob want a black front wheel then for that to look right.
I have thought about a yellow centre top fairing, i got out bidden on one on e-bay a couple of weeks ago.

lol
yellow wheel
then if u ran someone over they would swear it was 2 bikes.
a black one did me first- then i saw a yellow one riding away !!
so if its 50/50 do u need to change the log book info?
yeah second thoughts, i don't like the yellow wheel black wheel idea any more.
would like a yellow seat cowl, would there be a paint code marked on the inside of the tail piece or what, how else would i get a colour match?
Hello JayJay
Still looking out for you round Luton!
I should imagine you're easy to spot with the yellow ar$e!
I'm on a blue S curvy, full fairings..
I'll have to look out for you!!
I commute to London once or twice a week so you could see me on the M1 around 7 am, other then that i live in Sundon park and my office is in leagrave.
some evenings i like to take the long way home and ride out through toddington, flitwick, Barton those areas.
I will keep an eye out for you,
Are you heading down for the Suzuki day at the ace cafe 30th July
I hope to do the ACE cafe Suzy day, yes.
And possibly the SV Bandit day too, 2nd July I believe.
I'll let you know nearer the time if you fancy a ride or a meet..
I'm still in bed at 7AM so I wouldn't see you then! :wink:
I do occasional blast up the A6 and A507, great road
And sometimes A505 toward Hitchin...
Yeah i might be able to do the 2nd of July.
Suppose your not heading up to the farmyard party this weekend then are you?
i like it, mabe a yellow rear wheel and a yellow racing stripe to go with it ")

That looks quite good.
That looks not bad at all, really like the fairing piece, good work Ba55man.
Where would one find a yellow rear wheel, could the existing wheel be sprayed or something.
I will have to keep an eye on e-bay for the fairing piece.
Think i may have spotted you this evening KciN, Tesco round about on the Dunstable road, coming from Skimpot road turning left at the round about towards Dunstable, Approx 5pm.
Blue SVS curvy, with fairing lowers (I'm pretty sure it had lowers)
Was that you????
Looking very likely now that i will be doing the SV / Bandit day at the Ace on the 2nd July.

If you REALLY want to do people's heads in how about the bike as is (with the yellow stripe added to the fairing and a yellow FRONT wheel with a black rear wheel ?? :D
the rear wheel can be sprayed, or powder coated, or both.
doest cost very much either,
the yellow stripe can be made out of vynil, or painted
that wouldnt cost very much either :)
