orangeokie Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Anyone ever seen a Rosso Corsa with "silver" valve covers? Looks like the covers off a 2000 model V11 Sport.
Guzzirider Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Anyone ever seen a Rosso Corsa with "silver" valve covers? Looks like the covers off a 2000 model V11 Sport. The originals will have been red. Guy
Ralph Werner Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I agree - all Rosso Corsa valve covers were red.
Guest MikeC Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Yep, should be red for a stocker although the silver looks better. Mike
al_roethlisberger Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Yep, just to add one more voice to the chorus... the OEM covers on a Rosso/Nero-Corsa should be the "anodized look" red finish(they are actually painted). However, this doesn't necessarily mean it is IMPOSSIBLE that a *-Corsa came with a silver set of covers from the factory Certainly, stranger things have happened But, I suspect this owner swapped his red covers out for silvers for some reason. al
mark.gilmore Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Ha blokes. I've seen a couple of painted covers on the Rosso's and arsked, Why you do that? Answer was thay fade and fade quick.I would rather get them re Anodized than paint the mothers,But thats just me. Cheers Mark Gilly
Paul Minnaert Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Mark, they aren't Anodized, the material doesn't lend itself for that. The original red is paint.
Guest wyrtyr2 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 That's my bike! The Rosso pictured with silver v-covers is mine. I thought the red covers looked real cheezy-so I replaced them with silver sport covers--way prettier. WT2
g.forrest Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF[ THE BLACK WITH ALLOY GOUGES VERSION? Ha blokes. I've seen a couple of painted covers on the Rosso's and arsked, Why you do that? Answer was thay fade and fade quick.I would rather get them re Anodized than paint the mothers,But thats just me.
