Got some replacement plastics on the way, just have to source a few more pieces and I can paint hte bike the Corvette atomic orage I want.

Here's a rough idea (borrowed and modified pics):

Of course, my stock 85 white, blue and red stuff won't be touched. It's going into storage, so changing back will be a simple matter of a couple bolts and screws.

I'll be working on some SP2 switchgear also:

After I get the SP2 brakes on to her that is....

Got a new "stealth modification" idea. Been thinking about it for a while.

Gotta keep it quiet though, I need to make a trip to the UK for some specific parts first.......hoping it turns out as well as I think it will.

With any luck, it should look factory and be near un-noticeable at first glance......

Watch this space for more info in the future!

Yeah I like the look of those calipers, what is SP2?

Atomic Orange cool, nothing stealth about the color, Brown and Gold racing stripes?

Yup, SP2 stuff. I also have some SP1 pieces and they look the same. The SP2 have some subtle improvements though (piston ratio's, coatings, etc).

Brown stripes?

Yipes!

Not a chance!

My purchase of some extra plastic fell through, so she'll be staying white, blue and red. Unless I can source some more plastic pieces....
