I see you thinking but here is mine. When going fro a complete re-spray each bit need to make a statement. If i only had the stripes done on the tank and tail then all the other bits could have just been added later and are not part of the job. I know there is a lot of stripes going on but to me it shows that care went into every part making every bit custom!

It's not my bike though is it!!

I toyed with silver but in the end i just thought it is too similar to the original! Also with spraying the fork lowers black and black rearsets instead of silver i though white would be more striking!

For me - i succeeded - I am very happy with the outcome. Now all that is left to do is ...

Save up for new exhaust (Yoshi TRS) - DOES ANYONE HAVE A CARBON/BLACK SLIP ON I CAN BUY IN THE MEAN TIME??

Powdercoat the rear footrest/hangers
BMC Race Filter
SV 1000 Snorkel
New LED Arrow Indies
R&G Radiator Protector

Rim Tape (white reflective)

Damn i still have a lot to do !!

Out of interest, being cheeky, how much did the respray cost?
