Sorry Garry but that’s so far out I’m surprised you would have entertained it.

The thing everyone gets wrong is that one stripe is thicker than the other.
The thing most get wrong is the curve on the lower stripe. It looks straight when on the side stand.

Less far out but I take your point.
My disappointment was tempered by the cost.

As it was a non standard colour anyway mine was more than tempered by the fantastic finish with added bonus that the tail stripes followed through in line with those on the tank which was always a thing that slightly bugged me with the blue set.....

That’s a Z1000A2 - plus pin stripes don’t look right.
