Nearly ready for a re-spray :)
 
Found a guy through a friend at work who will re-spray my bike where he works after hours. Said it would be £250 for the lot including Ducati-esque stripe and new Suzuki laser cut decals on the tank. Does that sound like a good price?

Going for the Ducati monster style stripe - Thick centre stripe with 2 pin stripes either side, however i'm having it run through the centre as opposed to being over to the right. http://www.ducati.com/docs_eng/model...ages/strip.jpg

Took off all the plastics today, just got to take off the tank tomorrow and give everything a clean, then away they go :) I'll post some pictures when I get it back.

If it's an S, that's a killer price. If it's a naked, it's still pretty good- that'd depend on the quality of finish and paints used though. I've paid not much less than that to DIY my S!

Thats a f :shock: :shock: :shock: ing great price, my mate just spent £450 on a VFR respray.

Whos your friend and how can I meet 'em :wink:

Was that photo there earlier? :) If so, then that price is absolute dynamite. Assuming it's going to be of pro quality and using good quality paint, that is.

I added the pictures after, they didn't work at first so had to figure out how to do it :oops:

It's for a 2001 curvy so seems like a good deal. When it's done if the job is good i'll ask him if he wants me to pass on details, don't know how many foreigner jobs he can take without his boss getting pi**ed off :)
FYI the company makes helmets so I imagine the paint quality should be good, and he seems quite busy through recommendation so fingers crossed. Only downside is that it'll take about 3 weeks cos he can only do it after work... Watch this space :wink:

Well... It's done :)
I haven't been on the site for a while as I had a lot to do but I got the parts back and it's lookin good. I took the time to add some grill to the fairing gaps and had to make a bracket for the licence plate, which I did from scratch. very pleased with myself on that one 8)
I have it booked in for MOT tommorow so I had to take off the twin cans as they're competition use only (Bahhh!) but they'll be back on soon.
so here's some pics...

I'm very pleased with the results and the guy said he'd be happy to more jobs but "please don't post my phone number on the internet" :lol:
He's based in moreton on the wirral and if anyone wants to contact him PM me and we'll sort it out.

that looks the dogs.

i like the hole in the headlight too.

Yarodia 22-12-05 11:18 PM

I never noticed that, thought they were all the same. Maybe it's cos it's an import bike, the lenses were probably changed.

Sorry to sound like a moron but did your pal do the yellow also? If so it looks a real "deep" colour and looks excellent. :wink:
