Yep not the nicest but way better than red. it's an easy fix tho. Kinda reminds me of that Ducati retro sport model (not the Paul Smart but the other one with racing stripes) colour.

Actually while I'm at it I do think the S fairing doesn't look right with the PD tank - smooth against the angular.

Yeah, I took the fairing off my G/S.
I'll put up with the wind in my face rather than look at that...

I detect a lot of red seat envy and some blue frame envy in this forum. All it takes is a rattle can.

There may be more experience in the gps thread above?

**NordieBoy** · 22nd May 2013, 08:52

The catch with some of the "other" gps units is the availability of map updates.
