Title: VECTOR MARK 2 "revamped"
Post by: neiljonarcus on December 11, 2009, 06:31 PM: spoke to steve "firebird" and he came up with the idea for the pads "which i love" and had a chat with andy "bigplinky" and he had a old pro class rim and i had a spare one also so i painted the rimas and hubs del done some very nice black and chrome "pro class decals " off my mate "del" and got some great ribbon in chrome and red , tried the red but it looked to much so i went with chrome and also put some nos :LolLolLolLol: mx 900,s on with matching levers in red

SO MR BEARD SHE IS A OUT AND OUT RACE BIKE NOW ;) ;) ;) .

Post by: The Redline on December 12, 2009, 09:01 PM: Very Exclusive,

the pro class rims made the vector very elegant and the pads made it complete.

Cool MK2 version of your Vector mate!
