No point, but i am looking for a set of black plastics just to have a change, so if anyone fancies changing their black for neon blue get in touch. Have fly screen,belly pan and seat cowl as well but only looking for standard parts in black.

I guess it's cheaper to have it painted?

You are right it would be but not sure if it would de- value it if i ever decide to sell.

painting is definately not a good idea if you plan to sell at some point. Buyers think your covering up a dropped bike.

Just spray the whole thing flat black-solves many problems and it becomes so fast nobody can see it!!(esp. at nite)

I thought of going for the green meanie, but my bike has devalued too far (near 50% in 1.5 years). I have 13,000 miles on it, and nobody seems to want it, especially with the cold season coming on.
