Even matched the tank cover with a bit a decalling,

To summerise, carbon front mudguard, carbon rear hugger, gold axes covers,
italian import fairing in polished alu, Led rear bulbs,underseat triple exhaust,
bagster seatcover,Triumph grab rail, custom sprayed tank/pod/tank front & wheels.
Custom decals/ home made gold air scoop grills, conversion to later spec rad,
gold instrument surround , gold flat bars,gilles rearsets (gold naturally),
red alloy luggage pegs,irridium plugs , five dome rear reflectors,Blue "demon eyes",
quick release pins for seat.
that's about it for now, will be replacing the instruments and fitting a gold top yoke (when I can get it drilled).
Cheers Mark.

Looks GREAT :thumbsup:
However, can't you hear that frame screaming "for God's sake get this bl**dy carbon off & polish me" ??!! :shock: :D :D
Very nice rictus, looking proper good :thumbsup:
What made you choose barb wire as a theme for it out of interest? Certaintly wont lose that in the carpark :D

No is the short answer, although I'm toying with the idea of satin black for it :?:

I was going to coachline it originally, but I've done that before so though of a variation, the barb wire was a bit too busy for that so simplified it , Think I got the balance about right though.
Cheer Mark.

Fantastic - love the barbed wire. Though I'm not convinced that the red wheels match the rest of the bike. I think that black or gold would work better.

would not want to slide over the top of that tank :P Ouch :lol:
nice job mark
I agree with the wheels though gold and silver go nicely with black as your barbed wire shows.
might be worth a photoshop touch to see what it looks like.
but otherwise very very cool indeed and a touch unique :thumbsup:
A nice set of chrome wheels would set that bike off lovely. I'm not a lover of unfaired bikes, hence why I've got the T595 and fully faired SV, but you've done a good job on that Rictus

Don't worry Pete, each to their own, but I sort of understand, as it's one of the hardest bikes for me to change as the stock item is just about perfect anyway, it's only the fact that I've had four speed triples (couple of Daytonas as well) and tried just about all the mods and customising already, this one is perhaps a bit over the top, but I like it (which at the end of the day is all that counts :?: )
looks ok by me :D

Me too, Ok with a spray gun and as much as I've tried still cr*p with an airbrush.
Cheers Mark.
love it . . .downpipes need a good scrubbin tho :)

Cool!
I like! :D
Good to see that you've moved over to the fastest and best colour! :wink:
Can't wait to see it in the flesh... Just gotta wait for my bike to be fixed (again!) and for me to get some money for petrol! :(

I'm always a fan of different looking bikes, even ones I hate the look of :) Any chance of a better pic of that nose fairing?
