Title: colour accents...
Post by: Carbon_ZX6R on October 08, 2015, 06:41:05 PM
cough anodising

what's exactly acceptable to have on the bike ive always hated it but the ktm seems different , its got a few little bits , 3 res covers and they look good , will be getting a orange chain and sprocket when they need doing , but my question is what's too much? I'm not interested in bolts

but I found these.......

I don't believe they did just land on your doormat, or indeed that they ever will.

I think that's a fake doormat somewhere in the Navada desert...... you can tell by the way the light reflects off it.

Conspiracy........ innit

Dear boy.... such is the inanity of your posts, that I feel compelled to think of more creative ways to make them in some way even remotely of interest.

Try not to make it so fucking hard in future will you?

In my opinion (which counts for fuck all especially in the biking world), is that anodised components, cheap LED indicators and anything gold is right out of the Chavs handbook of "How to fuck up a perfectly good bike".

And why did you buy pink ones?

I am tempted to order the indicators

Why don't you polish the rims and get an extended swingarm while you're at it? ;)

Does the fact that the shit sparkly orange paint is chipping off even the ones they use to advertise them with..... not put you off?

Right up your street though.

It's your bike, and you've eluded to the fact you like them - so if you like them buy them, your only opinion is the one that matter until a point where you need to sell it.

Personally I think they look like cheap moulded plastic Chinese tat that aren't finished very well at all.

after seeing them in person I think they look horrendous

The anodized bronze of those parts is completely different to 'KTM Orange' and will clash horrifically!
