Hi Paul,
Interesting read. I’ve an 18in explosif and am curious about a bigger one.
What height are you? Or inside leg?
Cheers

Hi can I ask what colour the blue paint was to match the original Explosif blue please. I have a 99 frame that I want to get sandblasted and completely resprayed in this colour. Thanks

Hi. Its this but its not quite as simple as normal spraying. you need to put a white basecoat on first then this colour over the top thinly until you get the shade right as the 98 is a translucant blue so you what to see the white through the blue a little.

Outstanding quality and nice bike I could never find one in great shape so I bought a nice Kilaeua instead which wasone of my favorite Konas
