Like the black and silver but not the style of the vinyl - orange pot heads look like an emergency life-raft stashed away waiting to inflate or sumfink.

i like the two different colours on the rear fairing. you have a very unique bike there buddy, good work, it might not be to everyones taste, but as long as you like it, who cares......
get yourself a wavy rear disc to match the fronts, i also like the red rocker covers, it highlights how far tilted forward the engine is. i also like the round honda decal on the tank....well done dude

i think the paintwork looks good, quite like the matt black front mudguard. but , the radiators look awful not covered up.

That's different. I'm also not a fan of the radiators on show like that. Red rocker covers.

I've been thinking about doing mine Red recently, a bit of the American muscle car look. How are you getting on with the Dan moto's? it don't look like you got a clamp on them at the header
As BSM says it might not be to everyones taste, but as long as you like it, who cares......

Cheers for the comments guys - not as bad as i thought
The long term plan was to convert to single rad and fat bar conv with R1 front end that i've got - i just dont know if ill get time to finish with all the other projects ive got going.
Ha ha Kev, but no, it was the product of standing around with a fag and a pneumatic hacksaw and looking and just saying ahhhhh foook it, lets see what this is like!
The bodywork was cracked on one side when i got it anyhows, so i cut it out.
I have a spare set of rocker covers if anyone wants a red or any colour set - (I do blasting and coating)

i was also considering doing this, not 100% sure on what colour to go for tho. mmmm maybe gold although blue or red would be the other options.
roughly how much would it cost buddy, i could supply my old covers in exchange if needs be.....

Hey Spanish
Mine are a generic flat Red - I haven't colour matched them or anything. Even though im a spray painter i was just doing the bike as an aesthetic testbed using second hand parts.
I suppose i could paint them afterwards if you had a specific colour in mind and a colour code.
I dunno in terms of cost - £60 posted for generic colour??
