I have not been able to figure out why the small side-panels at the rider's knees is a different colour to the rest of the bike. Plenty of pics of these bikes on the 'net show the same difference. Doesn't make sense and looks a bit bodgie.

But your bottom pic seems to show it in that dark colour?
Dunno.

I put the ally sheets against the rubber adapters on the airbox and engine and shoved the carbys between them, then pulled the sheets out and the carbys slid into place.[/attachment]
