Well that's a real hard one for me to decide, been very difficult the paint will be fait 500 yeye green! Like sort of oldskool colour, but with cream inlayed panel, on tank, maybe polished seat with a stripe over centre and fanned out to sides, I would show you on photo shop but I'm crap at computer stuff lol. Either way the seats my favourite part by far , and love that is beautifully hand made! Oh the rear light will be trick as you like too but that's going to be a supprise! So in answer to your question polished and colour coded stripe, winner.

Slow couple weeks just past , and small fook up my fault ! Anyways seat unit trimmed to suit size and fit, frame swinger painted in ahem Aircraft spec 2k primer PPg. And that was where the fook up was forgot to mount peg hanger dowels, eak made four dowels m10 type, and then simply fit to freshly primed frame cocky cock. Anyways last night jogged up mounts ground paint off and tig,d on the dowels where needed, just need to clean welds and polish reprime again. Anyhow made seat base plate from ply, and got some foam to make seat an leather to trim in, later . Hopefully later this week will paint the beast again' an top coat in special black £200 per litre ohhh yea nice stuff!!! Don't worry I did,nt pay that for it. Lol. I also worked out via frame no, the headstock bearings sizes, for my slingshot front end, what mare three different types of gs550 -all different sized bearings too.

Well feeling sorry for myself the posty ,just made me smile with my new piggy back shocks Uk made tecbikeparts.com £89.00 yup it's amazing at that price, to be fair it's intro price ,and there very well made honestly. Cannot fault them, fully adjustable height and preload etc, progressive wound springs, which are changeable. Really pleased with them as all the other Chinese shite is well. Crap and poorly made these seem very well put together.

Small progress managed few lunchtime primer jobs, flattend and top coated then sealed for now until next week at least then will scotch and line out the side cream panels and decals then lacquer in 2k PPg it's hard as feck soo mopping it will be a mare but at least it's looking like right things happening also seat unit is going to be striped and decaled up then laquerd also . That's paint as far it's going then it will be just motor in and front rear ends etc, had to make lock stops from alloy bar too but least this I'll save clip ons smashing tank and frame.
