    Yeah, it'd save them rotting out under the wrap too No idea if the MV ones would (like your typical car ones), but I'm guessing if they did... it wouldn't be cheap Plus HPC coatings are dead sexy

    It has Ti headers and pipes (after market SEXY TIME) etc, that wouldn't rot would it?

    Nup.
    I doubt whether the HPC coating would be as effective as the wrap, but it would look nicer. Just make sure it will stick to titanium - usually people with Ti pipes don't get them coated.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Understandably. These are so very close to the radiator, i feel i must do something. The bike runs fine as is, temp is stable in traffic etc etc. Surely it wouldn't be bad to reduce that heat transfer somehow even though its a shame to cover the Ti

    You should have gone naked. Easier to clean too.

    Apparently they run loads cooler without the fairings. A few overseas owners have cut scoops in the side panels to flow a bit more air, i don't think i'll go that far.....
    I don't care, i like cleaning it

    Yes, Weasil has his full Class 6 licence.

    Also, I applaud kiwifruit's wisdom in purchasing the monoposto version; any would-be girlfriends will have to be able to ride properly, and will need to bring a bike of their own into the deal that he doesn't mind swapping onto occasionally.

    Can't you dye Puddy pink, or something? I shall have to apologise to Weasil on Sunday for the case of mistaken identity.

    Anyway, what are you doing letting Puddy ride it? You know the insurers won't pay out if he bins it without a full licence.

    pleased 4 u

    great to see SHE has got a decent lounge, just keep the pussy off the back she doesnt need a pillion and she loves sh 22 as well as mangawhai/waipu/old russell road and any other twistys u can find. just keep out of any inner city shit, temp. will go 120 freaks me out. I had to sell her due to business needs, but will have another as soon as business allows. Had a stone thru radiator on my 1st mv thou. so know the feeling with the green shit all over everything.Put a guard on but then took it off for more air.Bay City have done all the servicing on her if u need any info ask Andy or contact me.
    ENJOY.
