Looks alright for a starter mate. Bellypan would make it a little more full and cover up the colletors of the headers, just my 2 cents. Oh and piss that reflector thing off the back.

[Elapid]

Nice model to base a fighter on Jimbo. I like the shape of the frame.
Cheers,
Kris

oh i would piss the reflector and guard of the back but dont want to draw unwanted attention to my RE license status lol in 2 months when i am on my R license i couldn't give a fuck about the demirit points, and it will be gone.

Was thinking of wrapping the exhausts in black wrap, which should hide some of that ugly, also want to relocate the thermostat under the fuel tank too.

[Hillsy]

If it's an everyday rider exhaust wrap will rot your headers out pretty quick (it holds in the moisture). Best off with hi-temp paint or get it coated.

Looks pretty neat with the Zx6 tail ;)

just an update the bike is now white with a black frame with the exception of the fuel tank which is drying as a type, i did the plastics in gloss white and put a matt clear over the top to match the satin black frame, i have also relocated the ugly thermostat housing under the fuel tank, will post some more pictures tomorrow, let me know what you guys think.

Bike's looking good mate. Question I have is how come you haven't painted the s/arm black as well?

[Fight_fan]

very tidy mate ,that screen did you buy it or something you made.

[rgv4play]

just something i made out of an old screen, funnily enough i didnt have the lights when i made it i just went of dimensions, i thought as my luck has it would be miles out and not line up, but fits pretty nice.
I think this weekend i'll put the swinger, forks and wheels off and get the forks & swinger black and the wheels white.
