Is the new paint on the bike the Honda colour?

The paint color is a Candy Apple Red found on the CBRXX1100 blackbirds

My bike is no where as good as Macca's and I get that asked of me a lot. When I reply, its a Honda VTX the look on their face is one of Yeah! Right! :)

Yep I sure do as they see all the bing and that intake
but I say dont insult my Honda
thats the reason I got the plate for the rear

she looks real good Macca, I like the colour. I get people asking me the same question even without any mods.

Stumpy has got the gear back from the chromers and has started sending it over. I should get some next week and as luck would have it I got offered a job in Indo probably starting next week.
So looks like I won't be able to get it finished for a few more months.
I got the rubber on the warlock rims and they look nice..

Got this plate cause the WA VTX plate had already gone.

Do you guys have to pay a yearly fee for those plates or a one off?

[macca]

Well if you need someone to keep the cobwebs out and the wheels turned, let me know. I'll help ya out. :D

[guyivan]

Thanks man I'll let the missus know :D
I would like to take a ride up your way if I don't hear from the job. Will you be at work next week?

[lordoss]

I'm a Mr Mum so I'm always home these days. :shock: But not always able to get out for a ride though... :(

[VTX09]

Here's my new plate.
I thought about getting "VTXER", since "VTX" was taken in NSW (thanks macca !)
but went with this one (other numbers were available but I liked the look of 09)
..still havent found a suitable place to hide the ugly rego label, so its stuck under the plate at the moment.
I have one of those 'rego tubes' but have heard they are illegal so I took it off.

There's a picture of my rego label holder in a previous thread called 'Rego Holders'. I bought a chrome holder and bolted it to the top left corner of the radiator shroud. Still not the best looking part of the bike, but it doesn't look too bad and it meets the requirements of the law. This was about the best i could come up with.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brian, in NSW its illegal to have the rego label at the front (ie on radiator). It has to be "at the rear or adjacent on the left of the bike"
I took mine off under the number plate and fixed it to the left suspension bolt, near the shaft.

looks great Macca, one hell of a bike!

Got my personal plates a few months ago, still $50 a year for the basics. :twisted:

[A1Wolf]

Hi Macca

Bike looks great, ACCA must pay you too much :D
It certainly is a credit to you.

Regards
Wolf

[macca]

Thanks A1Wolf

I still have to do the new bars and new controls, I have added new engine chrome covers now, plus a new mortons exhaust called xroid
