Hi Animal,
how you doing?
What about Anthracite or a pearlescent red!

Unpainted carbon fibre - gloss finish.

Well, I would say that, wouldn't I?

Ouch indeed!!!
Keep it the same colour, it's a bit different that way. Looks good too.

Go for Blue, its different a looks the mutts IMO. There were the red bull ones that were part blue, but a solid blue one will stand out.....

whatever colour it is make sure its gloss,
otherwise no point in keeping it clean.

leave it as it is cos no one else will have one the same and it saves you a fortune for when you do it again. :D

I sent Desmondo a pic yesterday in the hope that he can photoshop my bike into different colours to decide what colour to go for... but I am guessing your choices are probably slightly different to mine :D

I agree with a few other like Rcgbob,

Put it back to the standard Senna theme.

No....Wouldn't go black...It's too elitist, especially that satin colour. What do they call it? Dark?...I'd go for one of those common colours. Mmmm...perhaps red???:lol::lol::lol:

Animal

Thanks Guys!
I'm now thinking Silver!
It was only a replica Senna!!!

Animal

Decided on the matt black, pic attached at the top!
I'm very happy with the job which was done by 4th Dimension (Not cheap!)

Animal

I know the bar ends are a bit sh*t, They looked red in the shop!

Animal
21-Nov-2004, 18:44

I'm very happy with the job!

Its funny how some colurs suit certain bikes etc and I have to say I think green on a 916 does look goof, how a bout some subtle yellow pinstripping added as well!

Thanks! I need to clean it every weekend as a daily rider, I never had a chance to clean it properly before it went sliding down Haydons Road in Wimbledon...
I've just noticed your in Coulsdon!

Bob,
No way! YELLOW bits would make it too SLOW.
