Author Topic: Red is Silver. The New Quota. (Read 10202 times)

After the last August Ohio "Check the local woods Rally", my Quota has been sitting in garage dismantled. Most of the Quota's I've seen are red or black, so I decided to change the color.
Taking the old Quota 1000 paint theme, bike is now silver and black with maroon lettering. After wrenching most of the winter, I took it today out for a quick 15 mile spin.

The Stelvio panniers needs to get repaired, they are still bent and leaking. Brackets have been repaired.
From Netherlands came the "old" style 2-round light facia, it will be painted and installed at later point. More light is better, although I installed LED Aux-lights too.

Cheers and see you next year on the road!!!
And this time.... Rubber side down!

Looks awesome Lauri - nice work. Might I suggest heat coating the exhaust black to complete the look?

Who did the paint and graphics?

That looks great, I like how the 'O' in Quota is strategically placed over the mounting screw ;-T

I gave the local sign shop the old Quota brochure and size of the print I needed. Theyu cut it out and cost me a whopping 25 bucks.
My paint guru/buddy Danny painted the panels and gastank, for $320.
Hmmm.... The black ceramic coating might be a good idea...Then again, its Price Sloan exhaust, piece of art!

And as added bonus, after 5 months my shoulder is normal again!

If it weren't for the dark stripe highlighting the "QUOTA" on the fairing/tank, I'd have been very close in trying to pick which one I liked best... Red or Silver.

The "banner" on the silver really puts the decision over the top though as far as preference - the silver rocks.
