Congrats! I like that color. I wish my Abarth had your instrument cluster...mine's black and hard to view in daylight. . Have fun.

We know a car has "arrived" when the owners defend it.

Initial results are a much shorter and tighter feeling shift. I love it and would definitely recommend it. |

Yeah, I like colors, too (ex g/f trained me).
When I bought my '88 Yam. FZR1000 the dealer had some new 2 yr. old Yam. cruiser on sale. I didn't want the bike but I commented on the mauve leather seat and soft green tank...saying something like, "Oh man, great color combo!" Found out later at the track that the sales guys thought I was gay - based on my comment.
