Yes your quite right Tony that's a vast improvement. Nice clean lines :thumbup:

I think the Persil is good. But with the persil broken up a bit with those clean lines by having a dark fairing lower and the bottom tail be painted like that, would be great.

And for Blue Storms they can have Frosties. That would be Greeat :lol: :lol:

F**k! That's more or less how my bike would look had I got one.
White wheelstripes and hi-mount cans for me though.
Nice one! :thumbup:
Oh, well!! Could've been worse...

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.

agreed :thumbup: I thought the white did make it look particularly fat arsed, black line is a great improvement

Its a neat optical trick, slims and raises the height of the tail. clever. :thumbup:

I must confess that while photoshopping the albino beastie I was referencing the white SP1 which had the black on the tail, also remembered Tony had previously mentioned it as something he wanted to try and last time I looked he has done the same trick on his custard storm. (Edit, a bit more black on Tony's than I remembered)

You are right though Wicky, I also remember Tony's blacked out underside of his yellow tail plastics :)

It still might be a yello tailend underneath the black crud but he forgot to clean it....

I put some gaffer tape on the tail section to protect the paint when I went camping on it, but it sort of stayed there for two years.
But in the pic a couple of posts up I have sprayed the whole tail section graphite grey metallic, with a matching bellypan, but is still thins it down at the butt end quite successfully, I think.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nope, his thin butt is nothing to do with me.
And I'd like to keep it that way.

No fence, Mac.
