Pink chain and spring?  Are you a woman?   Huh?

OMG!!! Women riding motorbikes! Next they'll be wanting to vote and everything!

OP: Hot. Maybe you could do a pink headlight surround or something for balance.

lols

Oil cooler is there.. It'd be nice to find a black one to replace it with though.. anyone know of any ??

I think the Brembo lettering would look good.

We are supposed to be getting some CRG carbon levers into the shop soon, so excited about that Smiley

As for rear hugger, I've debated throwing on one of the carbon ones, but like the naked look of it

Not sure if painting would interfere with the effectiveness of the cooling. I know with an intercooler (like for turbos) painting takes away from the efficiency.

You get back in the kitchen woman!  cheeky Kiss

Or at least get out to the shed and finish that bike.

Sorry Tami.

I think the fluid lines is a good idea because it will link everything together ... with the 'Brembo' on the calipers to finish it off. I feel the chain is so prominent you can't just add a couple of flecks. Oh and I need to know more about that swingarm.

I got kicked out of the kitchen for burning things Tongue

The swingarm I powdercoated black with a gold flake. I was suprised with Ducati's choice of metallics in the black frames. The 620 dark I had was more of a multi color glitter and then the silver s2r had a gold flake in the frame... seems odd to me that they would have gold to accent a silver body, but ya.. So it was a royal pain trying to find something to match the fine gold flake, but I had them do the swingarm in 3 coats. Black, the finest/ lightest spray of gold they could and a clear.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Suzy is a super DIY lady Downunder able to self teach on anything it seems. She has particular expertise in electrics/electronics. So you were given a great compliment! Smiley

Some say Jimmy Hendrix  dedicated his Electric Ladyland album to Suzy. Grin

I've heard from reliable sources that the "MacGyver" character was inspired by her exploits.  chug
