Worth the wait.

Fresh paint! Waited over a year but worth it. All paint no decals. The tank had a lot of filler in the top due to a large dent which the painter pulled out. In doing so revealed a hairline split which I needed to tig up. All ended up well In the end and was a very reasonable price too. Headlamp cowl, side panels, tail piece, front mudguard and tank all flawless. 

Just the seat to be covered and it's done.

The billet yokes look great on the 43mm forks.

Out of curiosity, how come you went for the 1 in to 2 brake line configuration?

Cheers. The brake splitter was something we made for Williams F1 if I recall. We made a batch of them and had leftovers...that is pretty much the only reason. Ties in nice with the brembo discs and accossato levers. Waaaay overkill on this lol.

Gotcha,

However- I thought this build was going to have forced induction?

Ah yes, this is my other one I've owned for many years. This one's just had a re-fresh. The turbo gsx is another build from the parts stash I couldn't bring myself to part with...more from that one coming up in the not too distant.

Very nice indeed.
Not a fan of the cropped tail look though.. :|
So had a quick go with Photoshop to fix that.

Haha, nice job. I have the full length tail on my turbo gsx so have the best of both worlds. Cheers.
