It's getting sweeter and sweeter mate. The lower engine cover paintjob suits perfectly the rest of this fine bike |

No worries,mate!....Thought that MIGHT be the case,but the way you've been with this build,thought I'd better ask |

((LOL)).............yeah it ain`t been straight forward, the build has been ok but the ferkin` paint has been a ferkin` mare (mainly my fault!!  ).........the tail end and the fender need a bit more primer then it should be good to go.......famous last words!!  |

Ok chaps.....managed to get the remaining green stuff done today (fender and rear tail-cone), also the mundane little jobs such as the gear linkage (and foot pegs), rear back brake lever, fuel filler cap, tail lights, radiator fitted (still got a run of pipework to do)........also re coloured the rear of the dials but i don`t know if i`m totally happy with them that colour (just messin` about really!!).......      Still to do......front forks, lights (partway done but dunno if i like `em), indicators, No plate, brake/clutch levers, wiring, seat and some pipework (can`t make up me mind on colour yet tho!!) Sorry t`ain`t much but it`s all the little fiddly paint jobs outta the way at least Thanks fellas |

Hey mucka fanx very muchly indeed..... I make ya right regarding the dials......i did the footpegs in that colour to give some definition from the frame and suchlike and got carried away , tis and easy enough fix so no prob there mate .........must admit i didn`t think of doing white but i reckon it could work well .........the seat could stay white but it looks too plasticy at the mo  , i was thinking of drilling some tiny holes and then recessing them to give a slight dent in which to add an inverted pin head to act as a button (if ya get my drift).....that way it breaks up the flat white and adds a bit of depth.....this is just a thought!!)...........the forks i`m pretty much with you on......a very light bronze colour had crossed my mind but i`m wondering if it would be outta keeping as well!! What colour plumbing/wiring dya reckon fella.......i got no 1mm red of yellow but i got every other colour under the sun Cheers for ya valued imput mucka.......glad ya sing from the same song sheet |

((LOL))......i think i was falling into the old trap of trying to fit 27 ideas into one build rather than spread over them over a few , the `saki` is moving along very slowly at the mo..........i`m trying to do enough so`s i gotta decent bit to show when i come to raising the curtail so to speak |

Black is beautiful. I agree with Neems. you've got a lot going on already. I don't think there's any reason to add more color. Oh, do I really have to say anything about how it looks? O.K. Sssaaaaawwwweeeeet |
