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 Smiley

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...

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

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.

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 ....

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

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
