I was just curious about the colours because with white wheels it would need some white somewhere else to make it look like it wasnt an accidental choice.

White and silver sounds good, cant wait to see it.

Bracket could easily be factory. Is that a new Motobatt jb?
Are you waiting for anything before you can fire it up?
