You should start with painting it really bright orange !!!
Like I said on face fart kawabussa?
well your take on it Ben cause fuck they are a ugly bike...
Is it finished yet ? :p
I'm thinking understated sleeper. Keep it looking original but with everything bespoke including, frame, wheels, engine cases, crancases, swingarm, etc, etc with hidden turbo and nitrous and paint it in that original shitty brown/beige colour ;)
Sorry Simon but it has to be 'burn your eyes out' orange with an RC8 tail. :p
Ah The Black Dog Special it just keeps on giving doesn't it ;)
Simple, lightweight, purposeful, handles like a tzr250, stops like a shovel to the head. But most of all reliable and useable. You've proven, as have many others that HP can be had for the right price. A 2014 streetfighter / cafe / naked sportsbike that the big 4 should be building.
Started a few mods to get it on the road, lets call this stage 1, I want to get it on the road then I'll start changing things.
R6 Tail conversion, I've done this conversion a few times now so I've got it worked out.

Then I smoothed out the stock bottom clamp & had it powdercoated black along with the rearsets the linkage & a bunch of other small parts, then I also had the forks anodised black.

For the headlight I'm using a Phantom 4 for now ( because I had one liying around)

I wanted to use a small dash but still have a number of features so I decided on the Acewell 1600 unit, I'm also using a Healtech gear indicator & because the dash doesn't come with any idiot lights I made up a billet mount that carries all these items & also doubles as a Headlight mount.

Looking good Ben
Nice work Ben, have you considered doing this kinda stuff for a living?
I love how you 'just made' the billet mount / bracket. lol
Looking good
Looks good so far Ben.
If you decide in the future you have finished using the Phantom 4 and come up with something of your usual billety goodness I would love to purchase the Phantom of you if it becomes available.
Where's the turbo???
What's the skull and crossbones warning light for?
