:D looks like I need to get the colouring pens out and have a go at designing this, likely a direct copy of the belly pan, then go from there with the rest, including a number board :)

Following a convo with my mum regarding how awkward I can be to buy for, I've suggested the following for my birthday next year lol

Yup! Birthday in June, so 6 months gap to get it here ;)

Going to see how it goes, need a new tank apron and the rubbers to match, because mines scruffy. Got the rear tyre sorted the other day, want to get the front done :)

New rear brake line on the way, went for solid red in the end, usually go for clear or black but felt like a change! Also started fitting my Dragon Supercorsas, instead of the mismatched and badly worn tyres it came with, need new Abba fittings to get the front out :)

The screen appears to be genuine Honda, but has been subject to some overspray. Half an hour with some cutting compound and its pretty much been taken back to under where the fairing overlaps :mrgreen:

Small update to stop me forgetting about this thread!

Rear line on, was a tiny bit awkward to do but got it done :)

Oh, realised I never put pics up of the light covers!

One light tint, one yellow, looks awesome IMO :)
