understood on the shipping to Dubai....I have been to the UAE three times while in the Navy and I love it there. Fizik does make a silver bar tape so if you can get Fizik products from the UK you may be fine.

as for members with your bike going custom, from what I have seen not many people have changed more than the wheels on that bike. Most just stay with the black and silver. I will admit that it will be harder to get bargains where you are, but not impossible.
