| Before my frame got blacked, I bought some geegaws to fill the hole in the frame. These are from a Stelvio (or Bellagio). Now I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

| Like'em better than the chrome doughnuts that are stock on my bike. Would you consider spraying them satin black to match the frame? | |

| What stands out like dogs balls to me is the super gloss black pegs/levers, out of sync with all the other flat/matt blacks of the bike.
Is the paint meant to be flame orange melding into flame yellow or is it just the lighting? Looks Hot! (pun intended) |

| It's just the lighting.
I can't do much about the rearsets. They're anodised gloss black.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

| They'll dull out a bit eventually. Love the look of the bike and the details...things like the little black out recesses to the bolt mounting spots on the engine covers. Good job Mark. | |

| I like it, but you might consider adding some little number decals to confound the belly scratchers who look at it. I did that to the crash-bar plugs on my EV. Used Knob Creek cork stoppers with the black knurled edges on tops. Love the "What's that for" questions. Change my answer every time. Bill | |

| You could also do with a nice anodised alloy rear brake fluid holder :-) | |

| Mark, I think you should up the WTF factor a bit. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]...I'm just playin", I actually like your solution a lot. I do agree it would look better in black. And I think those rear sets are the bomb! Great lookin' GRiSO. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]“When I'm riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive.

I use mine to house a puncture repair kit. Came in handy last weekend to repair a puncture on a Panigale. No need to remember to pack it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| It looks good without the 'porkchops' but continue blackening out some more parts. ![Thumbs Up](/users/2917/50/91/60/smiles/4178246257.gif) | |
