you going to rattle can the tank black, with some white also, it would really set the bike off, it'll be one of the prettiest bikes in the gravel trap.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
couldn't resist that one, it really would make it a good looking bike. if you do it, make sure you use petrol resistant lacquer.... :wink:
I really admire your spannering skills lloydie, keep it up mate.... :thumbup:

Don't know if I'm going to paint the tank yet tbh ,
I'm thinking about changing the colour of the bike to match the v5 (multi coloured) but that won't be till later this year and to be honest I'd like a decent rear shock in there first and get the lighter wheels fitted .
I just want it useable for this season so I can collect gravel a few times !!

Thank you for you kind words guys [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I wouldn't use that sh1t .
I can get much better paint from a proper paint shop for £10 a can but you get much better coverage with it so it works out cheaper .
The main problem is it's still to cold out to be painting :-(

Sweet as feck! You know it looks great in black, but a nice Mori colour scheme would look awesome!

Keep up the sterling work Lubeman
