Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 05/03/06*

Wow, very smart, glad to see you arent putting the playgirl sticker on though! Got to admit i was in two minds wether or not the calipers would look any good red as being silver as standard they looked awesome but they do look a bit sexy dont they lol! Keep up the good work!

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 05/03/06*

brown would look really cool :( not :p

red looks good, but im still with silver.....

guess laqering over the top of the decals will give them a bit more prtection too :)

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 05/03/06*

I take it their alu calipers? hence why they aren't rusted and all porous looking like cast iron jobs?


Looking good though, although I would have stuck with a fresh coat of satin silver and some black stickers/vinyl type stickers (apparenlty near heatproof:confused: )

take it you've got some nice goodridge hoses to go on aswell? If you haven't you might aswell!! they are only like £30 a pair! (for bikes they cost £25 each, and I need two(n) ), which ain't much more than std black plastic flexi;s

keep it up!!
 
Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 05/03/06*

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 05/03/06*
