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?
