Pete, I like it. I think the rim colour ruins it, but the rest is ok. It could use something to break the colour around the tail section but otherwise I'm for it.
I don't normally like the Euro fighter look, btu you've pulled it off well here. If you are going to change the colour slow down and search the web to find a scheme which will complement the look you're chasing.
Otherwise, well done, and send the RTA a bill for repairing your bike.
I reckon its not too bad.
Alittle too much orange for me,and i actually like orange.
Paint the wheels black...and while your at it,the frame and swinger aswell.....and maybe the engine....then the orange will look good.
Is there still a seat pad to go on that??
Also,like Shadow says,bill the RTA.
I rode through all this tar like shit on the road one time,that their workers left all over the road,and there was this shit that was so hard to take off all over my bike,i whinged,and got quotes to pro clean my bike,and the RTA gave me a cheque of around $250,or whatever the quote from the detailer was.
I like the painted wheels and the colour (don't listen to sharky he's building a chopper):D, speedo is shit but your changing that so it's no biggy.
I think the red pipes look crap next to the orange, i'd get some black ones if it was mine.
And fix your seat mounts dude....

dash ,seat mounts ,hoses noted ,will do,actually need som alloy thingys made to mount the tail with as we
I think the paint is a bit too orange and bland (coming from a bloke with an orange bike) and you really need to change the brackets for the seat. A few pages back they had posted up a replacement for the ones you originally put in. Plus they were adjustable if I recall
ive ordered the seat supports should have them next week
ive got a radial brake master off a cbr1000 on my bike so i was going to order 2x different models of levers,as my clutch master is sv1000,but after a little mod to the clutch lever mainly making a stopper in it ,and extending the throw of the push rod the cbr lever fits the sv 1000 clutch master ,

I agree to a point, but generally speaking the majority of negative comments about any members bike are simply constructive criticism.Quote:

There is an entire thread dedicated to repulsive creations that nobody has any problem with slagging off and comments like yours are rarely seen defending these abominations.
It is a fact of life that some people have an eye for design and others try their best but need a bit of direction along the way.
No doubt Pete has taken some of these comments and made changes for the better, yet others he has ignored completely because they were in no way bike related and/or not what he wanted.
Build what you want Pete, but remember that most people are just trying to help.
thanks Dan i will cheers
