Well as it was bucketing down this morning I decided to get on with finishing the graphics off, if it brightens up later i'll get to priming the tank after finally getting the original graphics off from under the laquer, what a job that was!! 8O

That's what you call a tapered pipe. 8O Has it got two or is it single sided. I would like to hear that bike.

Got a few more bits done tonight, added the bellypan front and rear stone chip protectors and got the graphics and a couple of coats of laquer on the tank :)

just got to put the tank back on and give it all a good t-cut now lol oh and sort my indicator flash rate out :roll: I've fitted indicators from a triumph tiger, problem is the bulbs are only 10w so now they flash too quick! i'll have to see if I can find some bulbs the same size but 23w?

Look at the reflection in that tank :) A bit of polish and wax and it will be gleaming. Well done. :clap: :clap: I like the alien head and pistons (skull and crossbones) logo. It's a nice little personal touch.

That looks beautiful fella. My only point and it's a very small one (or so the Mrs tells me!!!) is would the headlight cover look better with some kind of graphic on it to draw the eye away from the edges. Good work on the bike though, top job.
