I think you should go for the full set, Jay. After all, you've already done the most difficult bit - getting an Oasis Greeen one... :smt003

Have to say they do look si much nicer in the flesh
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Probably been asked this already but what make are the exhausts?
Bikes look stunning by the way

They are indeed streetfighter ones and come with the streetfighter chip. No longer made as far as I know but those ones were unused and brand new and a thing of beauty. Apparently sound good too :)
They come with a tail hanger tidy to keep them closer in so that luggage may still fit

Looking better than I recall and soooo much prettier than black but then what isn't ?

we know where you live geoff....

looks good - hanna has already christened the bike "Storm Trooper" as in the Star Wars characters :)

I like it - and may I interest you in some cleaning materials - you are going to need it :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Looks good Jay - the pearlescent works nicely .... but glad I've not got to keep it clean!

The red rag is a nice touch too - should you be followed by any bulls :smt003

Thanks all for their kind words.
Yes it is hard to keep clean and i was not sure about the colour scheme when choosing colours, but i love it!
I think when the weather is good i will take it to nooj for ventreshielding?
I have another project in mind and when finished should look nice too.

trick tri colour wheels,

Well done!
