thank you, i think so too.  I'm also getting the Phoenix done properly by him too as at the moment its just a decal - he will be painting that by hand to its the same shade.

really chuffed....

Now that's going to put the icing on the cake 

The gold works so well with the base colour of the bike and I know what you meant about the hangers just looking a little bit stand outish..........but the master stroke of the pin strip has brought it into one beautifully balanced result.........really chuffed you say...........I'm smiling and liking it and it's not my ride 

So your thoughts on the handlebars, grab rail and swing arm..................or is it perfection as is ?

that's it really as far as what i want to do.  ive only done this to freshen it up.  the wheels were very worn and grey and chipped so i'd promised the bike i would do a little fettle after the 2 trips this year.  Hard ride to Barcelona and back in 4 days to the Catalan GP and then 7 days in Europe 2 up.  it then went in the garage unwashed and was torn down for a good clean and freshen.  now its time to leave as it and ride...

i cannot lie...  my REAL passion bike for tweaks is my 03 GSX1400.  this is the one that gets the Cash thrown at it.  its got more mods and bits than i can count and for me is an old bus but...  its stunning.  107ft lb at the rear wheel and 120bhp feels great and with the looks, for me that's my Gal..
One off Blue Chrome powder coat wheels.  Metchamex swing arm.  Wavies all round with the rear being a Saw Blade with "S" logo lazer cut.  Very rare belly pan with spots.  de-badged and chromed 6 pot callipers.  Shorty/longy adjustable levers that also adjust for span and flip up.
Clocks/Dials that have been modded with LED's to show gear position behind the rpm No's 1 to 6.  (YouTube GSX1400 gear position indicator)
Billet window'd Clutch casing with Billet Clutch End Plate from USA in red and blue.  Window'd end crank casing.  Billet clutch casing.  billet starter casing.  HEL lines throughout.  Twin Bates.  PC111 and custom Map.  Full Yoshi 4 into 1
plus lots more i cant remember..

sorry ive put this in here.. i feel all dirty now...

Loving the pinstriping that's something I would like on mine but with crash frames fitted unsure if you would see them as nicely as on yours you would only see the panniers

I'm not so sure..  i bet you would see them..  he started off with a thin stripe on the fairin, stood back and had a look...  bit wider...  look...  then sent for the whole of the outside of the stripe..  perfect. 

plus don't forget there are 4 each side..  its far far nicer live - honestly

Did you have the  panniers done, or should I get my glasses?

light silver perhaps?  a nice deep metallic red may work too..  just enough contrast to be able to see it
