Guzzirider Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I have been ringing around the usual spares stockists to try and find a nose fairing for Helen's burgundy V11 Sport. Plenty of black, silver, green, carbon, fake carbon and unpainted versions available but no burgundy. Does anyone know where I can get one that is colour matched in burgundy? If not, I will get the unpainted one and get it sprayed but I want to save the hassle if I can. Cheers Guy

Cheers Guy Check here Color Rite Then again if you take your bike to a good pro auto-painter and or a PC color fitting shop.I think it won't be a big problem making your bikes colour. Besides , have in mind that: depending on sun exposure , proper care,and time factors, the paint color can desaturate.So ordering a fixed code solor it may have some difference (from quite small virtually unseen by eye to a more recognizable one)

It seems as if they are only made in the older colours- I personally would be happy with carbon fibre but Helen does not like carbon. She wants a Burgundy one- you know how girls are with colours!

Guy 50797[/snapback] Thanks for the help on that one I'll order it right after we move. Also I'd love to have a Carbon Fiber tank. Maybe if I was really loaded I could have one made with the Internal Fuel pump setup so it would fit my older frame. Or if I was that loaded just get a brand new one and paint the frame red if I like it so much if I Was that rich I'd buy a 999 also tho. I have too many wants these days.
jrt Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I really like the look of this guy's products (well, some of them). I can't remember who, but somebody on this board turned me on to them. If I ever ditch the S fairing, I'll get one of these. (turn the volume down- the website has annoying aural accompanyment)
Alex-Corsa Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 She wants a Burgundy one- you know how girls are with colours! Guy ...LOL yes I know/And it's a matter of taste finnaly.Since it is an aftermarket there may be a dismatch of the color y'know so I understood the hassle but if you seek exactness it's better to go this way.Carbon is a nice look , at the other hand having a same color as bike upper part is more harmonic and fits better to the bike giving a "like out of the box" look If it was a fender then it's different, as far as looks go.Only my as a painter artist.As I said before though is also a matter of taste.
