Hi Ady
nice and beautiful colours but not the correct lines, unfortunately because it must have taken a lot of time, effort and money to get those results.
I'm sorry if I took your dream away, I didn't mean to do that, I only want to give you an honest answer.
The most obvious "shortcomings" are: the tank: the inner line isn't fluent enough and the orange part between the two brown lines in front of the filler cap is too wide.
the tail piece: the orange part is too wide and there's no brown stripe at the back after the outer orange line.
I know it's very difficult to get the striping correct and it's almost impossible if you don't have an example in front of you...
Once again: sorry.

Hmm, that chrome mudguard could be half a shade out ... oh wait, that'd be the shine :)

It looks good mate, fit it and enjoy it :jake

Those shoes need a bit of a polish tho' :D :D
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

I will fit the paint, then the exhaust comes in August (Cybike)
Hope I haven't done this the wrong way round

Thought I should be able to move it and have brakes before starting on the engine, I know it runs and revs according to DK

Hi,
Has anyone got pictures and dimensions of the pinstripes on the tank and tail unit?
I need to send them to my painter who has agreed to modify the new paintwork...error.do it again.
Thanks
