Always Envied A Red 9**

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Fstdy, Dec 14, 2020.

  1. Hey guys.
    I figured I’d wait until the bugs were sorted out before buying one..lol
    Finally picked up a bike I always envied. 2000 996. I will be giving it some much needed treatment over the winder, bring her back to factory red. Great forum! Lots of knowledge on here.

  3. Welcome fella-That’s a big job, so I have to ask why did you not just buy a red one if that’s what you wanted?
     
  4. Yes 100% without hesitation must be in Rosso.

    Welcome.:upyeah:
     
  5. welcome, good luck with the paint job. i'm sure when you pop the fairings off you'll be distracted with plenty other stuff you'll want to do too :upyeah:
     
  6. Hello and welcome to the forum
     
  7. Is it me or does that blue colour make it look like a 1:24 scale model?

  8. Slim pickings here in CA. Price was right. Plus I like the challenge as much as the ride

  12. Hi and welcome to the forum can't wait to see it in the correct colour
     
  13. Welcome, I think it looks ok in the Blue scheme. A bit different to the usual red or occasional yellow. I'd be tempted to try and find another set of bodywork in red and a red tank rather than do a colour change. The blue wheels will look ok with a red bike, they didn't make the #155 Bostrom bikes look too bad.

  14. Welcome. Enjoy in any colour you like (as long as it's Red).
     
  15. I did pickup a 2nd tank and will be going red on another set of fairings. Good eye, the wheels did come off a Bostrom bike.
     
  16. Nice paint scheme, my 636 before the tank was painted...

  17. Welcome.

    Looks like a great project. Fantastic to ride and easy to work on. Arrow pipes are also fairly rare on this side of the pond.

    Does the bike have an interesting history?
     
  18. I have a few parts if anyone is interested, let me know.
    Rear subframe
    Complete lockset
    Speedometer MPH
