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. |
