Nice one lofty :thumbup:

I can see a few hidden extras, care to give us a mod listing to put us out of our misery and stop us from guessing :D

Very nice job lofty :thumbup: 8) It's a pity you want to sell her after doing all this work in making your bike something special, a one off.

I personally think the frame suits the bodywork as it is. I wouldn't paint it black if it were mine :)
