It's the old red / blue dilemma

MOzZereLLa · May 19, 2015, 02:36:59 PM

Can have a red now or wait 5 weeks for a blue.

Red is fine apart from the centre of the brake disc is anodised red and it looks very chav....

Blue is the preference but I don't want to miss high season and want it run in for the end of June track day.

What to do?

I couldn't live with that red disc carrier either. Wait, it's gotta be blue!

+1 regardless of the colour of the disk carrier.

I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, personally I don't think it would bother me but I do see what you mean.....

If you are that bothered by such a small part of the bike, change it! get them anodised a different colour (could probably be done overnight) or buy a set of PFM's or alike!

This -- the standard disks will sell in seconds to the spare wheel/superstock paddock ..

PFM have OEM fitment carriers and rotors - aside from looking trick as f*ck they work extremely well ;-)

How much can you get them for?

That wont answer my question specifically?

buy red and ask the shop to change them to black as part of the deal.

They can probably get the parts next day or take the bike, run it in and ask them to change them at the first service...

assuming you ride it that far before you sell it on.....

Is exactly my current thinking. I'll know tomorrow. I'm a bit pissed off as I haven't seen either colour in the flesh yet and will have to travel miles to see a blue one. Lovely dilemma to have.

Take it from me .. once you ride it the colour will be the furthest thing from your mind !

You'll be having that horsepower, slide and wheelie at the same time moment in your panties :-)

I noticed you have the oem red anodised rotors on your bike at the moment.

Chav

I'm hoping to get away from work to visit my dealer tomorrow afternoon. Let's see what he can do regarding a disc swap.

Immediate delivery red sold this morning.

Blue it is.

Mid July.
