Hooray I can see it now :lol: I do like those conical exhausts that Dan Moto make. Probably the only ones worth buying from them as there's not a lot to fall apart :roll:
Your going to have fun keeping those panels clean. Have you considered painting the frame Black to give it some contrast. I quite like the clean look with no decals, If it was me I would just put some Black Honda wings on the tank. Looking good though, the bike is starting to come together. I'm surprised you haven't managed to sell that swingarm yet to either someone making a custom or drag bike.

lovin the white, imho if you had satin black frame and swingarm it would look fantastic, just be careful with the decals, alot of the time they can spoil the look of a bike like yours...
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Decals wise ive already decided on tank badges from a latest model fireblade, maybe a little set of VTR1000 decals on the tail, and thats it, i want to keep it modern and clean looking.
and yes a satin black frame and swingarm fits into that look v well. :thumbup:

i dont know why they didnt do a white one as standard as they look great imo.
defo needs the frame, swing arm, hangers and subframe in black - i used satin hammerite tho and its shite as its not fuel proof, so mine is now in bits for refinishing properly.

just a tip - dont do the wheels in white as they look overly gay and you will spend more time cleaning them than making them go round & round.
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Thanks Benny, yours was the first white one i saw, and my main inspiration. :thumbup:
dont worry the wheels are staying as they are, high gloss very easy to clean black. :wink:
i'll probably get another frame next spring, and get that powder coated too at the same place that did the wheels (25 quid each) then swap all the bits over when i get my CBR1000 forks.

Does look smart, as a blank canvas superb but some contrast needed :thumbup:

And look what a difference the black underneath of the tail section does.

The butt looks fat without it- compare to the other pics and the tail end looks huge.

Still can't decide if a straight or curved transition line is best, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
