Newbie with a Flamingo Red Falco looking for some paint
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:38 pm
Hi All
i know i haven't posted yet, i'm abit of a looker instead of a poster.
you guys have some great info on here and from your help i have carried quite a few mods since i bought my Falco last spring.
1./ Clutch jet and oberon cylinder change. what a difference (no more stiff wrists, only limp
)
2./ Scorpion carbon pipes.
3./ Talon sprocket change. Now 15 and 42
4./ Charging wiring mod. (The white connector that sits on the left of the frame and goes to the alternator was burnt and could not save it, so i hard wired it.)
5./Bought a white Millie shock and sent it to Revs for a rebuild and spring change, due to being nearly 15st with my gear on.
6./ Skidmarx double bubble.
7./ Sidestand is now the Fireblade one. fits perfect with no mods. only thing is i bought from an american ebayer and cost me an extortionate amount of customs
8./ K&N filter and no restriction
9./ Gabro Chip, runs alot smoother, although i have balanced the carbs with slightly bigger hit to the rear. i.e 1 turn out on the front and 1 1/2 on the rear. i then moved the trim pots with the left one at approx 1/4 to 9 position and the right one at 12 o'oclock. Runs smooth but smells fairly rich when stopped at junctions/lights etc. Do you think this is ok?
I have now purchased the Bellypan and Hugger from Skidmarx, but want to spray both of them Flamingo Red, and as you can guess i am having trouble sourcing the paint.
I have noticed MandP do touch up paints but wondered if anyone new who could supply the correct colour in a larger amount.
last but not least, is there a decent Aprilia mechanic around the Essex area if i need one. No doubt i will in the future..
I'm now waiting for the barrage of insults for not posting
Gaz.
