You have been busy, you would think it was a different bike :lol:
Looking good Kev :thumbup: :clap:

I'm guessing silver wasn't really your colour :wink: :lol:

**EDIT**
I also meant to say welcome back Kev :thumbup:

Very noice paint and overall styling. Wouldn't change a thing 'cept some carbonadi carbon covers and brake grub screws for functional bling.

Great bin and incriminating use of hose pipe, and potential electrocution...

Hahaha, I live for danger I do !😁
As I was taking these pics and feeling quite pleased with my efforts, 2 school kids walked past and one muttered to the other
" It's not that good". 😞

Huge transformation but Matte is not easy to keep looking matte unless you go buying matte detailing products. Chemical Guys have quite a good range.

Think it's just the light on the tank,
And I haven't bothered cleaning the Matt paintwork due to the dry spell we've had and she's covered up the rest of the time, but I'll have a look at that thanks👍

Sorry to mention it on your latest work, and I hope it is just the light.
It's the righthand side (throttle side) of the tank in the 1st photo above, the one with the bike at the petrol pump,

Looks great can I ask how you tidied the rear plate and indicators ? I can’t find a tail tidy kit for the storm so is it a case of cutting the original plastics to make it smaller.

If you have an original uncut aftertray I'd be inclined not to cut it, just buy a cut one from eBay and use that.
You will probably make good money on an uncut one in a few years, people are paying hundreds for uncut ones for SP2's.
That undertray is aftermarket, can't recall the make for sure, but I think it's a powerbronze one, don't think they still manufacture them, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
