Re: New paint job
LOL, kinda lairy for me too, but as long as you're happy that's all that really counts! My mechanic warned me off plain stainless bolts as apparently they can have some chemical reaction with ally, so instead of the zinc coated stainless OEMs I have black ally bolts from Pro Bolt, they do a heap of colours, including orange: http://www.pro-bolt.com/vaf/product/lis ... 9&x=39&y=7
But I wouldn't recommend their M8*40 domes, the female hex in the head is too small to take any torque, but I told them about this and they let me swap my customer loyalty points for two M8*40 male hex that can take some torque.

I have slowly been replacing to Ti bolts and even those have a negative reaction with alloy but as the paint job says , do what you like so long as its different nice work Norrie
Re: New paint job
Like the Orange. Saw a Buell painted that colour at the Lincs do a few years ago and thought it looked tasty. Wondered what the Rap would like like in the same paint. Now I know.
The green is bold.
