Anyone have Castrol-replica?

LKHanberg · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2009, 05:59 PM

Im close to getting my SP painted in the 2000 Castrol colors from WSBK.

Ive got a few photos of it, but not enough to make up my mind, there are a few on bikepics.com, but only very few.
Anyone have a bunch of photos from different angles?

Ive attached the photo that brought it to my mind, after drooling over it for 6 months in Afghanistan...

Yeah though about it, but its the 2002 colorscheme, I want the 2000/2001.

Also, from what Ive read, the quality is not very good.

Think I might try and pick up some scratched OEM bodywork instead of painting the nice bodywork I have now.

Nice link, and nice bikes.

Well, that explains why I didn't recognize it.

I've only seen one once in Miami about 5 years ago.

There is a vid out with a bit of racing action from '00 with the RC in it... I had to order it from the UK.

Great story of the first year the RC went into the SBK... and the riders that rode them

Make sure you take plenty of pictures.
I'm seriously interested in seeing the rebuild process.

And how did you happen to get your hands on a set of the HRC Akrapovics?

Very hard to find. I know a guy, who know's a guy who has 2 full header back set. Heard he's asking nearly $5K U.S. for one.
