I quite like the original paint scheme, but it does look better now! 8-) Still not keen on the 3 spokes rear though. ;)

Thanks Kev, if truth be told im not actually sure. Have only been on the bike a handful of times since building it.
The Dymags are gonna be taken off soon, gonna set them aside for my track bike, would get more use out of them on track. WHENEVER that happens....lol
