i must admit the lighter blue looks 10x better than the darker blue mine had and doing the wheels in the light blue looks great too...keep up the good work m8ty
Al i had too many toys and not enough time to use them so the sp,999, rizla blue bussa and my z1B had to go...i kept the old storm because out of all the bikes i've owned only this bike has a soul...sounds daft but everytime i've decided to let it go somethings gone wrong with it,nothing major though,it just doesn't want to leave and tbh i wouldn't be without it now

Really like the attention to detail. E.g. v2 stickers on footrests

cheers, shes coming along now at last

still a few bits need tweeking with the paint but they'll have to wait till winter now. I've set a deadline to have her on the road by the 25th of this month as the mot is the 28th. Then when winter comes i'll flat the laquer back and two pack it all, at the moment I've just lacquered it with cellulose, loads of light coats to seal the graphics in without melting them lol then when I come to two pack it the graphics should hopefully be safe. It's still got a decent shine to it, just not as deep a shine as it'll have when its had a couple of coats of 2k laquer. The heel guards I quite like the shape of they just needed a little something to brighten them up so I made up some resin coated covers (the same stuff tank pads are made from) That reminds me I have to make up a tank pad to match too

oh and a stone chip protector for the front of the belly pan, god the lists getting longer again

That's looking truly awesome, nice work.

And +1 one on the little details, loving the Black reasets but leaving the lever ally.

stunning. Both the overall look ad quality, and the speed with which you can get it done! Taken me four years to polish the tank
