Norbo, we need a FAQ, we seem to get this question a lot... That or it gets asked a lot around the forums. I can think of a few other things that would be good in there, some links to places like Xaviers site and info on things like brakes and headraces perhaps? Maybe Im answring my own question and this should be in tech section? hmm...

Hi, Unless you want it as it came out of the factory, it all comes down to personal preference. I have had satin cases in the past, but as I get my engines vapour blasted nowadays, I think gloss casings look really nice against blasted alloy. Your choice though;     Dusty |

That's what the teck section is for for people to post stuff like thgis so people can read it but as well know that will still post it up and we will have to link to that thread any way . So start a thread made in there and its done . |

Hi The rad was a rusty chrome ebay purchase for a tenner. I had it blasted and powdercoated gloss black to match the cases. Dusty  |

On the Ypvs engine, the oil pump cover was a new old stock Yam item from Norbo, and is shiney plastic, so the gloss powder coat matches it better than satin. I have had satin coatings in the past but as I have the frames gloss coated, the cases look better gloss too (imo  ) Dusty |
