i guess if i owned a genuine SP i would think twice about modding it too much and keeping the stock stuff. but mine is a strada and its only real worth is the enjoyment it gives me, so i've modified it. i've also sold off all the stuff i don't need, foolish? maybe, but i need the cash to buy more bits!!! i've kept it mostly period oriented, with ohlins and spaghetti system etc, SP5 seat, iron brakes. but i put goldline m/cyls all round as well as billet brembos. nickel plated marvic superlight rims with black painted magnesium hubs finish it off. my only hard and fast rule has been the original decals are all in their original places so if the uneducated look at it it's kinda familiar and just a nice example.
that's my thinking anyway, and yes i'd post a pic if i could get it to work.
cheers,
paul.
