    Hi all,

    I have my fairings primed and ready to paint but I don't like the silver paint. I like the original paint scheme in the picture below.

    Here are my questions,

    - What year/country is this Seca Turbo?
    - Has anyone experimented with colour matching for this paint scheme?
    - Are these particular decals available anywhere?

    Also, the lowest and forward-most piece of the fairing is broken and is proving difficult to find. Has anyone made one or know where I can find one for less than an arm and a leg?

    Thanks!

    Apato.

    The grey bike was in the advertisement, and may not have been real, just air-brushed and lens-filtered a silver bike. Notice the front reflector is blacked-out. It doesn't have the air shocks. It has an "Australian-length" rear fender.

    I heard there were 8 black ones made. Pick the color you want and do a good job.

    Those fiberglass pieces can be repaired, or keep watching Ebay.

    Good advice from TIMEtoRIDE. I think making one would be super hard, unless you have prior experience.

    Thanks for the advice.

    FYI, this is the piece I'm looking for. Can't find it anywhere on e-bay. Been looking for more than a year.

    Does anyone make these?

    Also, I think I found the fairing piece.
