Diablo corsa 3's are sticky too

 

Put pilot powers on it and be happy.You know it makes sense.

 

Had 208's on my Mito and I found them to be really good, heard they weren't any good in the wet but mine seemed fine.

Looking at getting the Pilot Sports but going to do a little more research first.

 

got bt021's on the bandit, cant fault em...

good in the wet, good on the ice, good in the dry

 

I have the Bridgestone BT014's, good alround tyres and dont get chewed-up by the roads too easily - even over here on the TT Course, which is famous for eating tyres!

 

On ICE, how? I've spent most of my life on bikes and never found a tyre thats "good on ice".

 

Just ordered myself a set of Michelin Pilot Sport's, hopefully get them fitted at the weekend!

 

Next job is getting so braided brake lines and then onto getting a respray... anyone any good at taking wheels off?

 

What colours you thinking of??

 

Getting the wheels black, the fairings are going to be black\white, will have to finish my photoshop of what I want it to look like.

 

Finished the photoshop, this is what I'd like it to look like sometime soon...

 

Problem is the half the rear wheels paint is off\coming off and a lot of the paint work on the tank and some of the main fairing is scratched, I figured to do a original scheme would cost a fair whack as I'd have to have the colour matched etc. I've not been able to find one that you can get off the shelf. I'll have to see how much money I have when I come to thinking about the respray more (April-May) as this is just the initial idea I like the most.

 

I think you will devalue the bike big time if you paint it like that. Any way you could get a quote to repair the original colour scheme?

 

I did originally want to put it back to stock but most people didnt agree, or wanted something different. Linky

I'll be keeping the bike for another year and a half at the minimum, so I guess when I come to sell it the price wont really be that great with or without respray? :doh:
