Welcome Drex,
What are you planning for the custom paint job? When are you planning the "canisterectomy?".
Cheers,
Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

drex,
If you want a boxercup rep, it seems only sensible that tyou use the color scheme adopted by the only american rider in the 2004 Boxercup series:
Cheers,
Paul

Wecome to the board.
What's the deal with that big red light on the back?
Your blue carpetted garage makes me feel very jealous after spannering on a London roadside all of today.

the red light??
its to keep idiot drivers from slamming into the back of my scooter...
seems to be an epidemic around here.
i'll be moving to a low profile rear license plate display holder, ala:
i'll still incorporate it into the extra stealth.
i happen to be in healthcare and see way too many scooter accidents around here; since i am an attending surgeon, it hits a little closer to home... hence the red light.
(it is the BMW issue light, though!)!

Welcome Drex.
Doesn't look like you need a custom job to me - looks really good as it is! And what are you going to do with your helmet when you repaint the bike??!

pauline--love your bike.....
that's what i was looking at.... but my very consciencious girlfriend's father (the silver hair BMW type) talked me out of the mandarin yellow BCR on the grounds of "resale value" -- meaning the average BMW rider in the states wouldn't want one so "ricey" looking.....
so i bought the safe silver one......
hence the repaint. (why do i always listen to reason, and then realize reason isn't always right?)?
helmet will also be painted to match.
ps i bought the same bellypan you have!
