Here's the before the refurb started
4002

And here it is today. I've still got a few things to do, but at least I can ride it now.:riding:
4005
swingarm, torque arm, pillion footrest hangers and sidestand have been powder coated crome silver. Undertray was black, but now colour matched
4004
New rear brake line & a few stainless nuts and bolts, incl the torque arm front and rear.
4003

It isn't meant to be a concours winner so don't look too closely!!!!
Next project is a Gixxer front end and tidying everything else that now looks cack, including the wheels :smt070

Looks tidy. What was wrong with it to start with? Looked tidy already! :)

It had suffered a bit by living outside in the hands of the prvious owner, but it kept me busy during the boring winter months :bounce:

I'm gonna be honest and say I dont like the bellypan

BUT it is a very very tidy bike :D I have some work to do on my bike (repainting the forks and the torque bracing arm for the rear caliper). I would ideally like to get my wheels re-done, but I don't have alot of time for that.

Nice high-level exhaust!

I've a spare black powder coated torque arm for a curvy if you were interested?

Belly pan covers a multitude of sins and I wouldn't want a full fairing, as it covers the engine up.

I agree with Alpine, the belly pan is a bit too much for me but other wise NIIIIICEEE :D I really like them in silver.

It might be the angle you're looking at the beely pan, that makes it look a bit OTT. looks good (to my eyes) from every angle :sunny:
