Just bought a new motorBike and out of Ideas

Posted by RayRosher on July 15, 2011 at 9:00 pm

Hi all Just bought myself a little cheap run-a-round, only problem is it’s all red And I hate Red!
Need some Ideas for getting rid of some of the Red!
The fuel tanks pretty scratched up and marked so was thinking of Covering the top half of the tank in black vinyl and doing something with the fairing

I agree with Rob.

Top idea!

edit.
I might add that I was viewing on iPhone when i posted this, as such, the flash video player wasn’t in view so I actually had no idea what I was agreeing to!

H’mm! Not a great fan of Carbon,
But I have to admit that Robs video looks nice!
Think I’ll give Hexis a call on Monday see what they have carbon fibre wise!
Thanks Guy’s

I’m very happy with mine, just the charging system has issues. I replaced my Regulator/rectifier as the battery was not charging with a better one from the states. It is a known issue with the Hyos and well documented on the forums.

So you tried a bit of off roading then, you can buy bikes specifically for that you know! 😥

Oh dear Derek, How many times have you been warned to get some knobbly tyres if you must insist on going onto the dirt?!

hope it’s not as bad as it looks dude.

A bit of Polyfilla and a few strips of Gaffa tape and it will be as good as new! :bike;
