Blanco Nero

#1 Post by Falconihlist » Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:43 pm

Blanco Nero had it's first valet with the almighty Nooj yesterday. Fitted new throttle cables, a new solenoid, and soldered up the LED's and resistors at the back end. Checked the rectifier, and no signs of cooking (yet) :smt003

The amount of mud that was washed off behind the radiators was epic!

You need to wash that muck off your screen :) or have you just run someone over? :smt017

Well done.

That is a cracking bike and lovely paintjob. when I stare at it from the side view I can't help thinking something is missing. Its not much but possibly just needs something to lift the wheels, could be needs them in a different colour or even something as simple as some thin white rim tape :smt017
But is still 1 very eyecatching piece of kit :smt023

I'm not that keen on rim tape, but I agree a white rim tape strip might bring out the wheels slightly.

Not slating the bike at all, I love it anyway.

Without wishing to come over as a pedant, strictly speaking it should be bianco nero. Blanco is Spanish. Doesn't make the bike any less nice mind. :smt001

Nothing wrong with that :smt003 I only opted for that because I was being lazy,and didn't want it to sound like a drink :smt018

Unless of course he was using Nero as a noun in which case it would be fine ... Just saying like ;)

If you're being fussy it's actually Nero bianco 2, the Nero bianco has the white and black the otherway round
