IMO keep the 2 tone, looks way better and is far less common

You could do a two tone respray, I wouldn't expect the silver to fade since it's not metallic.

08-03-12, 20:54 GMT+10#18 you may want to double check but I'm pretty sure the VS K-frame bolts in. there's a VQ on here with a VL RB30 K-frame, so I would think the v6 K-frame would fit. If it does just buy a wreck cheap and you get all the brake updates aswell

09-03-12, 08:44 GMT+10#20 try v6 Conversion for the wiring, if the K-frame bolts up then the swap is 'easy' you would need to bolt your existing suspension arm to the new k-frame to get the right track width
