Sweet!
That's right up my street :D
Nice one lofty :thumbup:

I can see a few hidden extras, care to give us a mod listing to put us out of our misery and stop us from guessing :D

thanks didnt know if i would get a reaction to this bike . but here goes i bought the bike back in september and coming from a honda dealer it was a first class bike . but i wanted some different and decided to change it to white , so of came the panels and after buying a new carbonfibre mudgaurd bellypan undertray headlight protector , along with the rest headed to to paintshop . basecoat mercedes white all decals then laquered , meanwhile forks off for a rebuild new seals oil and ohlins springs , then purchased a maxton shock , next full set of wavy discs , oh the wheels were sent to the paintman as well , fitted the shock raising her 2 inches , next i bought the blue flame cans and hi-level link pipes from an sp1 , next a sprint steering damper , then 2 new racetec tyres by metzeler renthal gold rear sprocket renthal race hand grips r&g socks for resevoiors and this is what you see now . next will be short levers (in the post) tinted double bubble , any other hints would be grateful enjoy would sell now as an sp1 has come up from a friend and now i want that lol .

Very nice job lofty :thumbup: 8) It's a pity you want to sell her after doing all this work in making your bike something special, a one off.

I personally think the frame suits the bodywork as it is. I wouldn't paint it black if it were mine :)
