looks really good!

We thought about fixing it, but instead we're just going to wait until it crumbles into dust and get a new one. Any day now

Nah, it's just not very well finished yet I sprayed it with singlepack clear coat, which is pretty soft, too soft for a daily-use bike really- so rather than polish it up now, Big Al's offered to spray some proper 2-pack over it to give it a durable finish, and we'll get it properly shiny then. I rather like it as it is, mind, but it's a bit inconsistent.

It is, I think, the satin/matt finish that I like! So don't change it!!

First time I took it out, Carelesschicka's better half said "It looks like a tank". And I heard someone (not sure who) on the rideout say "It looks like a 70s Leyland". Neither of these things, i think, is very flattering But it'll never be shiny, I don't do shiny.

Exhaust looks cool mate, would love to do tyhis on mine.

Would look even better with a full length bellypan on, but still looks the nuts.

Should be easy to get a braket to secure it via the footpeg, looks quite stock IMO
