Although one of the illustrations in the 'how to' book suggests that a shared hat may be required.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Mismatched carbon* twill stripes (the diagonal lines in the weave). Hanging offence!
Didn't see the rest of the bike after getting stuck on that.
*that coloured stuff is actually 50/50 carbon and glass fibres, the glass is clear/white and hence shows up the coloured resin.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
The anodised aluminium shite is horrible but the carbon on the tank and seat might look alright on it's own - the swingarm miss match stuff is nasty though.

The headlight, fairing, seat and tank bits don't match either though.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
If you say to me "V11" I think of one of these:
The V11 I end up with is this:
Bugger!
Still want a Guzzi but Its fucking ace though.
