So, thus far I've done...

- Undertray and seat cowl
- Reverse cone silencer (gonna design and have fabricated a new hanger so I can remove the footpegs)

Coming in the next couple of weeks...

- Poly26 retro fairing
- Round headlight
- Brown seat and grips

Things to be painted
- Forks (will spray in situ)
- Frame (will spray in situ)
- Swingarm (will spray in situ)

MUCH further down the line, I might attempt to design and have built a new subframe/seat unit... but that's a long way off.

Quick question on spraying, anyone done their swingarm/frame/forks? What paint did you use?

(And yes,I know I can powder-coat, but I'm not mechanically skilled/experienced enough to strip my whole bike)
