Mito 350 finished. Help/ideas with paint work plz

[Klause]

Mito is pretty much finished but after some ideas for paintwork as the paint is crap. The orginal paint scheme was eddie lawson rep but wasn't a brilliant copy (see pics below).

Would love it to look like the pictures below. Would probably have to cut some of the fairing back to open up the frame work abit...

looks good mate ,don't forget to get those cans strapped down before the shake themselves to bits

[benjami]

Is there anyway you can extend the bar on which the kick start sits?

Then you could just get a new fairing, cut a small hole in it, and have the kick start on the outside.

It would have been more technical, but words escape me today.

The good old fashioned bump start method would eliminat your kick statrer woes

If you can machine up an extended spline as said above, that would be much tidier. (Even a sleeve of sorts, female to male, but getting the right sized spline eith end could be tricky)

Looks good. Not sure what I'd do paint wise. Leave it a sleeper for sure.

What about standard paint schemes?

If you do extend the kicker, it would be worth making doubly sure that you have enough support on the kickstart shaft. You really wouldn't want to bend it!

Well I'm just riding the bike lots for now. I've got my heart set on getting a cub big bore kit and then really work on it. It's got some horrible flat spots and i really need to get it dyno'd.

Hi

To be honest I would go for the Lawson rep colour scheme.

Hi

Are you doing the respray yourself or getting some place to do it? Suspect most of the professionals have a source for getting stickers made up.

All the best

Lately i've been thinking about selling the bike. I took it out today and changed my mind . I do however need to get the rear shock sorted. I only weigh 9 stone and with the rgv shock every bump i hit, the bike almost jumps. Need something softer or with more adjustment. Maybe rs250 shock.

Hi

Just send away the shock you have and get it rebuilt with a spring and damping rates set up for what you need.

All the best

How fast is it? Like what can you compare it with?
Looks amazing, good job

[Moonie]

Dunno if it would work but I'm getting rid of the decals on my bike atm, the big cagiva logos for the side fairings and tank, if you think they would restik you can have em.

I'm going relentless
