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.

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

How much did something like that set you back?

mike636 · 12-02-12, 07:15 PM

not with EMRA, need black background with white numbers, this is why the screen isnt on as im putting my racenumbers on the screen atm... paint cost me £200 for the lot..

That will be at least a second a lap faster

£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!
