Sort of stuck at the moment.Could do with some yokes,the swingarm is in the frame and everthing else is ready to go.Off for a break on the Island next week so dont think I will get anywhere till March.Its just a swap over job really.The CBR seat unit is probably the only thing that hasnt been on the bike before,still waiting for that as well.

Loosely fitted the bodywork this morning, needs a bit of tweeking and some brackets making. Will get a price on a spray job, although it might stay as is if its too much!
Not sure im a big fan to be honest, maybe im just used to the old style kit?

Thinking of what colour scheme to go for, how about these colours?
with the brand name on a big white background sticker?

I will fly to the UK and bitch slap you into next week if you paint your bike pink and brown.
The only reason your bike should be brown is because you crashed into the dirt at high speed. As for the pink/mustard/white you should be ashamed. You would be better served covering your bike in sequins, at least then I could respect the time you put into it (if not your actual sense).
p.s. Thats a vote for no.

Come on Greggo mate...tell him how you
really feel.
I agree that brown is a manky colour for a moto...especially a pimped up moto like this one.

Go for the pink and brown.. ooh err....
It would be worse though if you actually paid someone to spray it instead of doing it yourself, whatever the colours!!

The last attempt at spray painting i did , my petrol tank, it looked likes someone had iced a cake. Was with rattle cans though. Although my mate has a compressor, so might have a go again with that.
