    Hi guys I currently run a ktm 690 duke on the road but will be looking for a blade very soon, I quite fancy the bsb rep but was wondering how the paintwork stands up to use on the re painted bikes? Thanks.

    Hi and welcome. A lot of the official jobs are painted by spraybay and hold up very well. If I was buying a limited run paint finish I'd cover it in ventureshield as it won't be so easy to pick up replacement panels if yours get peppered.

    If you buy stock paint schemes and get stuck behind a gritting truck, at least ebay should turn up a replacement if needed.

    Honda panels cost a fortune to replace....side panels near £400, tank cover £750 if so. Can cost £2.5k to replace the lot from Honda.

    Good luck hunting.

    Welcome aboard. As a newbie myself to the CBR I can only say read all you can about the abs equipped version. Draw your own conclusions. It seems to be a bit of a Marmite situation. Good luck.

    Welcome to the forum

    Yep a set of replacement panels will set you back £2.5k plus so venture shield is a must

    unless you buy them off me for 750, all of a new bike from padgetts, seem to be struggling to sell them, thought they would fly out the door, then theres postage, which will be a pain to parcel up to prevent damage.

    I might be interested in the front cowel if you split price and condition depending.

    I assume its only the front cowel, not the black bits that are in the picture, are they air intakes?
