well I stand corrected (nothing new) sh1t load of work though

that bike of the super chicken forum looks very nice :thumbup:
if it had the sp radiators mounted in the correct location for the fairing then it would look great .
still looks nice as is but with anything like this it needs to be done right .

That's looks nice and clean. I don't remember you posting any pics since getting it. And you managed to get a later modal which you wanted . You will be on the lookout for cans next :plainsmile

A decent belly pan makes a lot of difference to the looks of the bike, I prefer the Moriwaki type look, but you can get a full lower. I always think without a lower the bike just looks not quite right,kinda look taller then they really are. That's just me though. Nice bike though dude and welcome :D

Seb, your Repsol fairings look great. Where did you get them from? Were they hard to fit?

Dream machine paint that...... Not

They wanted over 1200 quid to paint my existing ones.

That kit was from eBay about 300 quid to your door, was very easy only had to adjust two holes by a few mm, you don't get a petrol tank skin with the firestorm so you will have to get a petrol tank painted so factor in 100 quid for that, get a decent painter as you can see stevie wonder did mine and couldn't follow instructions or pictures.

If you ever want get a kit from China read through the seller feedback and search for the part you want, will help you weadle out the good seller from the pants ones.

Rear under tray is by pyramid, and black lower fairing is from power bronze, standard black one they offer

Hello mate like the idear with the sp look like the other lads said it would just take time to get the look right i think but worth it for a unique bike :thumbup: as for the yellow i could'nt handle it and had to get it sprayed should be fitting a moriwaki style pan soon just waiting for me mate to spray it for me
If sh1t were money you would be worth a fortune
