Sounds good. I think I'd like the white wall look better than a completely white tyre... B)

Looks great. A lot sassier than the pic that's normally on the Grasshopper. This one's got an extra bite to it!

Edit - just saw your mail with the new idea. Way cooler... B)

Okay, the question to whether or not yellow CVA damper housings can be dyed would be - not really. They won't go black.
I guess they're the same material that ball end adjusters are made of because they turn the same brownish colour.
Gave it a try though. But the shrink wrap approach should give a nice result... ;)
Better than textile dye at least.

Coolio - are you thinking about black shrink wrap or paint and transparent? Or maybe something else...
That way I know if I should pre-assemble them or not. ;)

i am not sure really until i see them. probably go with heatshrink if it will look ok or if not paint them. either way they would need to be taken apart

Okay, I'll send the separate parts then. And see if I can include some damper oil too... :silly:

Definitely needed some TB coop with Louisbaby. B)
Hope his parts have a smooth journey...

The Hornhopper really was in need of some oil shocks. :cheer:
Funny detail is that the parts I have here are going home to Britain again. :silly:
