    John Stockton bling awarded. I think he lead the NBA in assists for a couple of years.

    Cheers Vifferman, had a heatgun and it kind worked, just think the damn things were baked on. I was curious as to what stuff to use to get the bloody gum off. Didn't even think of WD40 (CRC556 same?). Blistered thumb attests to my method of choice on the day *burns!*

    Photos for those interested. I know this isn't the first time that someone has painted a bike, but I need some more advice.

    The tail looks pretty boring now. Was thinking of placing some of the Aprilia Decals (red flag ones pictured) under the seat hump on both sides. Maybe some of the other decals. Even considered a white stripe down the center of the tail section. Ideas?

    The Aprilia Flag would look very nice.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    THeres a guy on eBay that does them for about US$10 and doesn't charge for freight to NZ. I'll clarify though.

    I used WD40, worked well.

    The flag gets my vote as well.

    Do something about your faded seat. Get some Vinyl spray from Repco (about $10-12 I think). Works a treat. You just have to re-apply it every so often to keep the seat looking like new

    EDIT: Looks good though, but definately needs something to make it a bit more interesting

    Does it make the vinyl more slippery?

    TSS used to use Silicon Spray on my seat (*cringe*), also i know what Armourall does for 'grip' too.

    Seat is not really faded, its just the lighting.

    Heh heh heh



    The only bits that are matte are the tail-section, piece under the tank, and piece between main fairing and front-fairing (hard to explain). Some people think this bike is ugly, I love the look of it TBH.
