  1. Anyone know where I can get original decals for 1980 250mx?
  2. Hi all,has anyone tried one of the HID kits off of eBay or aliexpress yet? I'm thinking of doing both lights on my 04 R6. Any usefull feed back and recommends on who to buy from would really helpful.
  3. I am a painter at his gramps bodyshop,yeah we can send it to spectrographed but point is we shouldn't have to.we don't hold all our customers ransom when we do bikes , I think it's called customer service!
  4. My mate recently bought a brand new R6 from a wll known Hampshire dealer, which had been painted in a one off livery by a VERY well known bike paint specialist.Unfotuneately he dropped it a few weeks later doing some minor damage.His grandfather owns a well established bodyshop who can repair and paint his bike no problem,except for one major problem,well known paint specialists flatly refuse to tell him the colours used on his bike even when the dealership asked for them! Basically trying to hold him to ransom so that he has to give to them to repair,not cheap I wouldn't wonder.why, when he can have HIS brand new bike repaired by his grandfather for free, would he want to send it hundreds of miles away for who knows how long just because the painters don't want anyone else to have the job.bang out of order.so if your thinking of using you know who, be warned, don't drop it otherwise you stuck with them for the rest of the bikes life unless toy change the paint job completely.
  5. hi peeps,got a tough one for ya!i am doing a moto gp replica paint job on an r1.i am trying to match the white pearl on the yamaha stickers.so any other painters out there done the same and found a good match?i`ve tried a few yamaha colours but none seem to be close enough.would greately appreciate some help on this as it is doing my patience no good what so ever!
  6. hi,peeps anyone out there bought the fiat moto gp fairings for a 2004 r6? i was thinking about buying some only i wondered what the quality was like.i am a paint sprayer so i could do it myself but cant be arsed at the price they go for.and i would still have my originals!
  7. allo steve,i had a 750r for 4 years and they do take some looking after .but the rewards are well worth it.check that your exup cable hasn't snapped or seized,or that the exup valve isn't seized.it sounds like the valve is not opening. hope this helps.
  8. forgot to mention,i still have a mint yzf750r original end can for sale if you are in need of one!
  9. hi keith,i had a 1996 yzf750r for 4 years.sold it 6 months ago and bought a 04 r6.should have kept the 750r.even though there not what you would call modern tackle the 750r was £9000 in 96.that shows you how special it was then,and even today would blow away most modern stuff and stay with the rest.one of the mags did a test around cadwell park i think it was.it was 1 second a lap slower than a05 gsxr1000,nuff said.
  10. had bridestone o14s on my 04 r6 .they were great in the dry but not so good in the wet.just put 021 sport touring tyres on it as i have had a few sets of the previous 020s.the 021s are brilliant wet or dry ,and you will get good mileage.
  11. can not believe nobodys mentioned the yzf750r!....kin awesome bike.even now it will stay with the big guns even on the track.
