Very nice storm but the forks need painting silver as the gold looks wrong .

Very clean looking bike you have there. I like those Gold fork lowers but the callipers could be a different colour. Just need a few more Gold bits in the bike to balance it out. Those mirrors look interesting, are they ones where you can screw the stem to unlock and tighten and adjust the length.

I think you can adjust the length but they are just right for me. I like the gold, all the Honda stickers are gold and it has gold foot pegs, probably will add a bit more gold as time goes by and pretty much straight through exhausts!!!!!

And put Cam Chain Tensioners on your list of things to do. Either fit manuals or do a stop mod on the ones you have.

Nice looking bit of kit that, I haven't seen many silver ones around.

Thats why I liked it, something a bit different. Thinking of painting the wheels gold, what's everyones opinion?

I reckon that might look a bit too much with the gold fork lowers, disc centres and calipers. What about gold engine cases like Whitestorm Petes?

That's a good point, I'll be painting the mirrors gold soon so I'll see how they look

That's looking very clean and tidy

Not sure about the gold paint for the wheels, more of a personal choice I would say.
