Very nice well done . All you need to do now is black the frame or a darker grey and paint the wheels white but that's what I'd do ,
Anyway looks great :clap: :thumbup:

Many thanks for feedback guys appreciate it .
Makes the blood .sweat and tears all worth it :D
I'm thinking gunmetal grey wheels or white .
Was considering a colour change on the frame but that may have to wait until over winter .
It took a while as I refused to use stickers other than the decals and sponsor bits but made sure they all had 5 coats of hard wearing laquer.
Got a db screen and braided brake lines to fit not forgetting the clutch line and white samco hoses .

I'm currently laying up in white and black carbon fibre custom surround for this.
took a while to make the mold but hoping it will look good eventually when fitted . Undecided what to do about the exhausts may stay standard :?:

I quite agree pineapple .
Saw it a few months ago while ordering new engine parts in a honda stealership after cct failure.
I promised myself 1 as an early crimbo present to myself only downside for me is need to use the supplied magnetic pick up for it to work .

It's a good job the mrs doesn't look on here or I'd be in the dog house for quite a long time she wanted a new car and I wanted bike bits ......I won :lol:
