might suit someones bike with the right accessories. I'd be interested to see the second set on a monster, I can't quite imagine what it would look like.

not something I am looking for right now, just found them while having an ebay trawl at morning tea :)

rizomas are nice, but where are the black pics?

Anyone sprayed their stock covers? I might do that if I get some time on the weekend...

Hi Kursed.

I recently bought some genuine black covers...Fleabay $43 inc postage!!!!  Poor mans Carbon!!!

Cheers

pics my good man! I need pics!

are they stock black or were they painted?
I might have a crack at spraying my own, if it fails I can always get some more stock ones from fleabay.

Anyone know the best method to recolour that kind of plastic part? I guess it would get pretty warm, so it might need a particular type of heat resistant paint might it not?

Rizoma, unique? Classy yes, but hardly unique... High cost doesn't seem to be a barrier for most here, once you have the modification bug forget about the $$$  [evil]

Industrial_grrl on the DMF used to have the 1st ones, I have the second ones albeit without the red mesh, and I bought them off R_usty. You might find some pics on the bikes of the dmf thread in the main forum.

I agree with Kursed, it all depends on what you're going for. Industrial_grrl's bike was absolutely suited to the covers she had. In the case of Melvin's bike I'd also agree with his comments - he has gone for a refined finish look, and as such both would not suit what he has made.

Why did I buy mine? I wanted open covers and they are not that common, so in a sense yeah it was unique - I don't really have a theme for my bike, just replaced a few bits and I'll leave it for that - I want to focus my time and money on being a better rider at the moment (and maybe proper setup of my suspension!), so the bling that I have is enough for me for now <ducks for cover!>. Maybe later, I'll build a project bike that will be truly unique and mine - right now my little M800 is fine for me..

Anyway, all good to get differing perspectives on it ....

Rizoma, unique? Classy yes, but hardly unique...

really? how many have you seen in real life? ........ even during last ride? out of 13 or 14 bikes, how many had Rizoma belt covers?


ok, go Riding House way than HA! one and only so far and i know the guy who has it ..... and that's unique  ;)

I think Betty's response was somewhat tongue in cheek. At least 2 bikes had Rizoma covers last Saturday... Betty's and Jukie's :)

I can't help it. I covet others bling.

i've read this
that's 2 out of 14 ... and from one household @ that ....... hardly a huge percentage ........
i still reckon that Rizoma's are unique purely because of their price, not a low production volume..


......but enough digressing from the original topic
