Like the work rich , white looks good, it a flat white or a pearl / metalic? Not sure on the stripes though, looks like an after thought compared to the high build quality if that makes sense? Ha ha thanks Danny. Its a semi-gloss white that still needs to be coated in laquer. I wanted to do the pinstripes to break up the white but most people seem to reckon they don't look right so maybe they will have to go. If I do go ahead with them then they will be blended into the paint and won't look so "after thought-ish" lol

Very smart rich love it! Only thing is can you re angle the end can up so it follows the seat unit better? Other than that very impressive

Looks nice that. No bling and tat, just simple and neat. The pipe could do with a tweek upwards but not with a sharp bend.

Stick the alcantara seat on and don't do anything else. I love the simplicity, purity and cleanness of it - its not easy to make that look work... and real Old Skool 'fighters have twin spots!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I just finished working on the gaps at the front of the seat where it meets the tank. It turned out great. I used a material called kydex which is easily shaped with heat and just attached it to the seat pan with a couple of rivets. Once its covered, you'll never know the difference. Alcantara arrived yesterday, getting some red lines stitched in it to "marry" up the tank lines to the tail.
I'll post a pic up later.
Battery, clutch hose, oil and petrol going in this week, then its key turning time!!

Its just a pain in the arse that I live so bloody far from him. Can you see the gear side rearset? I've modified it with a heel guard. I think I may need new adapter plates making up in the future to bring the pegs down a bit though coz i'm tall and they're right up there. Also, I mounted the rear master cylinder behind the rearset coz I couldn't get my foot on where it was.
