Those 3 lines are not straight. Measure the distance between the middle and bottom lines and they won't be the same.

the 3 lines one the first picture are straight.. it looks squint because there are slopes on the fairings... and the way i took it is out of perspective, the second picture are also straight, but its not 100% symmetrical to the first picture as it was pretty hard to make them 100% the same.

thats coming along really well you should be well chuffed with that result looking forward to seeing it with the k-con tail unit on top marks. and to be fair id rather pay 40-60 quid on rattle cans the pay someone £900+ for a propa paint job but hey thats just me

For your first attempt, that looks damned good from here

Ignore the purists, I hate the standard RWB scheme too, it's so common and it's boring. At least you'll know which bike is yours
