    I'm after a bit of advice!

    When I sent my RR4 bodywork away to be sprayed in the San Carlo colours, it took a bit (!!!) longer than expected, so to make sure I saw some of the years biking I bought a full set of second hand genuine Honda bodywork in red/black to put on the bike. Since I've fitted the race rep bodywork, it's really grown on me so I don't know what to do with the red/black set.

    It's in excellent condition, and I always thought I would keep it tucked in the garage because the chances of finding another set in this nick would be next to nil. Now I'm struggling for room in there, so I don't know what to do! Flog it and release some space, or keep it for a rainy day!

    What would you do??

    Keep it. You know the minute you get rid, you'll drop it of it's stand.
    Can't you put it in the loft?

    That was why I kept it "just in case"!

    Didn't think of the loft, we may have a solution!

    At worst it'll sit there until you sell the bike. By then unblemished bodywork will be worth more ;)

    I have never regretted Not selling something. But I have a rule if you don't use it in a year sell it. So no use asking me then, I haven't got a clue.

    If you were to drop your bike would you spend out on another spray job or would you be happy with the red and black?
    If you would paint again then sell if not keep
