That would look nice, i have a colour coded mille hugger that would look nice with that belly pan.I could be persuaded to part with it :smt002

White is nice, but if you are thinking of painting your bike i would save your bronze panels and buy second hand panels and paint them.
I have done this because when selling a bike people prefer standard over modified, this was the advice given to me by pete (aladinsane) when i did my bike and i think it makes sense. :smt023 [/img]

I did think about keeping my panels and do have some spare bits of flea bay with that in mind but then decided NO as I have no intention of selling the bike especially after the amount of work ( and money !! ) gone into it AND let’s be honest there' s not too many "untouched" Falcos left out there as most have been modded........unlike most of the "touched" people who own the Falcos !! :smt005

Am liking the look of the hugger and the wheels and that's pretty much in the direction I was hoping to go although maybe not all over ............am seeing the lads on Monday for a chat about it and to see how much it's all going to cost me .........

That's no exhaust, it's a mortar with a bent end.

He had it made for him (well for the bike)

It's gone now but by god it was loud loud loud BUT never pulled by the locals.......A lovely cheap china make which lasted about 8 months !! I now have a tigcraft fitted and she sounds just as loud but not as bad looking ....

It's now got a front fender fitted in the same quiet colour as the rear hugger ....looks better then i thought it would ......HONEST !! :smt003

That is without doubt, the best colour scheme I have ever seen.

I want it! Now!

How hard is it to change colour of a bike on the V5?

Excellent, Jay, Excellent.

Those MHP shotties look the job too - they look better on your bike than they would have done on mine.

Have to agree it is a fabulous looking bike, I wish I had the courage to do something similar.
