Silver is the best colour, although I think red would go well with your project

"Great minds..."

But it'd be around £1500 to do, so I think silver it is.

Well, having done a bit of design work for a member on another forum, (who happens to be a spray painter) I've got a good quote on a grey with silver detailing paint job.

Hoping to have the parts done in the next week or so, so I'll post pics once it's ready!

In the meantime, I've bought a second-hand swing arm for £15 which is gonna be powder coated black...

It's all coming together!

Righto... paint job done!








Lots yet to do, but with a new baby due any day I'll be taking my time over the next few months...

- Black swingarm
- Polish/refurb/coat headers
- custom exhaust hanger (so I can remove the pillion peg hangers)
- paint/polish/coat lots of other various parts

Anyhoo, hope you like.

yeah, I'm pretty happy with it!

Got lots of smaller jobs I want to do, but for a 'phase 1' I'm really chuffed
