My Y2k 290 is looking a bit tired (a bit like the rider)

I have seen big Benny Ayres has had his 04 or 05 frame powder coated black and it looks very good.
I was think of doing this as well and then revamping the graphics to match.

Does any one know if the 06 graphics and/or plastics would fit on a Y2k?

Are the graphics on the 06 tank stickers or a paint job?

Hi there...
I believe the 06 plastics wont fit the 00 model, as they are a completly different shape.
Maybe some 05 stickers would fit?

[sherco 125]

trialstar graphics would look nice

[Mick]

I have got round to giving my old Y2k an 06 look









Thanks to Stump Magnet for the stick on carbon fibre ideas from a previous post

Lookee Good to me!

Move your bars up to the verticle and buy some of my real carbon swingarm guards with the laser etched logo! You will be a KING!


The dual pot front caliper will give you better response and feel!


Cheers,

just buy a new bike tight wad.

[Peter_GasGas]

Tight wad¿? I bet he's spent a LOT of money getting it to look like that. Well done I say.

[Mick]

Tight me! I'll buy anyone half a lager shandy

The frame cost £30 to powder coat black at a local place
The back mudguard was £65 but the old one was broken anyway
The front £15, the 06 stickers (decals) were about £50
The darker carcon fibre was £12 a sheet and the carbon fibre look vinyl stuff on the tank was about £10 I think
New handlebars £25 (the old ones were bent)

So yes I spent a bit but a lot less than a newer bike

OK OK I am a tight wad

PS I waiting to see if Heath(r2wtrials) can send me a pic of the Carbon Fibre exhaust heat shield on his website so I'll be spending a bit more soon!

Oops forgot about the Hope petrol cap £28! and Cast foot pegs £45
