tomorrow is frame and part painting. :D

frame, headlamp bowl, swinging arm etc are going to be orange

chainguard, gear lever, rear brake lever and kickstart lever are all going to be gloss black

i want the tank to be an earlier style, painted gloss black an kenny roberts decals.

need a new exhaust 'cos mine is a restricted one, expansion preferably.

ill keep this updated from now on every day probably.

byee, Dom

was thinkin about that earlier, chain guard's black so would fit in nicely. Forks are black too, not much silver left on the bike :lol: . I need to wait for more primer though.

Ive decided im goin to mount the number plate on the mudguard and put the light on the back of the seat. Not sure how yet but wont be too difficult.

swingarm looks like it wants a bit thicker coat of paint. But very good work mate nie to see more young people attempting work themselves.
