I remember one of the earliest photos if not the first picture ever for me of the new 1800c was the one attached.  Am I seeing things or is this blue different.  When I see the blue Valk the color in everyone's pictures posted here it is so rich in the pictures. I really like it. So was there two different blues (an early production only blue) or just not a true picture?

I don't think so ,  the color depends on lighting , I guess

Many of these looks different , and are all the same

I would like the blue if it had some chrome instead of black. Silver wheels would make all Valk colors look more gooder also. coolsmiley

The black wheels are cool...and they look good clean...but yeah, they get dirty quickly and then not look so good.  However, the blue color in person is WAY, way better then in any photo.  If you use the right *spray* *wax* (not just a spray detailer)  the paint becomes insanely good.  In fact, in the right light the blue actually has a slight tint of purple in it that comes out once you get it waxed up decently.  This is the stuff I use: One of the most incredible one step spray waxes on the market.



And then you get something like this.  It really helps protect the paint too.

LOL..I used to...  Couldn't get the filter off?? ???  You need a simple wrench...sometimes those pliers types work best if you cannot fit a span wrench over the top of the filter.  I have no problem getting it off...Just make sure you don't over tighten it..(usually a 1/4 turn or so with a wrench after hand tightening)..this way it comes off easier next time! Report back with you thoughts after riding with the new 10-30W all synth oil..
