speaking of painting (HIJACK!), do you guys in sydney have someone you recommend for painting rims? I am thinking of changing my white rims to either black or gold.... I know if I go gold there will need to be some other gold accents.
rough price from those who have had it done? flywheels quoted about 600 ride in and out

Hey Kurssed I have the same problem with the white wheels. Which colour would match??

I was thinking of the charcoal colour. There is a powder coater down here in Wollongong that Monster Micks mate used. He was charged less than $50 a wheel!

As for painting there is a place in Russel Vale down here called 'TWO WHEELS' motorcycle painting. Ron from Flywheels uses him all the time and they have painted bikes that have been in Rapid bike.

Worth the trip!

Paul, I feel for ya mate there is nothing worse than putting a scatch on you bike by trying to do the right thing only to F#*% it up.

I feel the clear coat on the plastic tanks is very soft, must be to allow the plastic to expand & contract in the sun.

im fussy to looney so feel you pain , my only way to help is a sugestion , take photos of you bike at different angles  then photo shop them in different colours they dont have too be perfect but will give you an idear what it will look like and when your happy with the result just print it and take to your painter cheers bazz 

+1 excellent advice 

[loony888]

well, the decision has been made, it WILL be silver, with a blue stripe and ducati red pin stripes either side.
i will post up pics when i get it back!
i'm also getting my arrows repacked and i'm gonna put the rego sticker on and attach a rear reflector, bloody coppers!!!

i tell ya, i'm going stir crazy already!!!! i've got the pipes off being repacked, i've ordered a rear reflector and i've just got a tubular rego label holder cos i got done last week. the colour change is gonna help keep the fuzz off my back along with the other little additions i was politely asked to fix.

You bet yah love the silver it would look totally awesome on thee monster  Although a heavier fleck would set it off just that bit more
