the srad's (carbie and FI) were some of the most unique zooks ever built, and really set the motorcycling world on its ear when they hit the scene. i had a FI'd 99 srad 750 for awhile, and managed to get 125rwhp out of her with bolt - ons only.... not bad for the technology!

as for paint, where are you having your scoop done? i have a CF piece i need partially painted in CGM, and am unsure where to go......
