purely awesome luke and that paint job should be sweet as man.
Yeh i'd trim that guard dwn mate! Maybe try n curve it a bit more though so it matches better & doesnt come out lookin like an afterthought.
Deffo nailed the Euro look!
you could cut some slots in the "mouth" of the lampenmaske and put the horn behind it.
Exactly what I was going to say. Trim it with a slight curve so it matches the sides of the headlight, would look awesome.Quote:

Yeah I see what you guys are getting at. I'll do the old white board marker line and see how that looks. EFE, the "mouth" is getting air brushed over the blue with a "tearing flesh" opening look to it. All done in shades of blacks and high lights. All the dash and light connectors live in there, so no horn would fit.
Something like this would look awesome:

That would be good mate, but I cant cut it back that far due to the wrap around back section behind the actual fork legs that limits how far back I can cut it. My idea was to follow the line from the front mount and keep go straight up, will small rounds on each end.
I got my brake lines today from HEL and there now fitted up. Small stuff up was the front change from the stock master to the radial means the line touch's the top tripple clamp. No biggy really but it has taken some length out of the line. Also my end can arrived, will have pictures up soon as I have another question I would like some opinions on.
Ive got the slip-on in the mail yesterday, and am now looking at where I would like it to sit on the bike. Here is a quick pic of what I would like. Also thinking it may need to come back a little, and maybe twist it so the oval is more upright then flat.

No words but respect very very nice lkc
Thanks mate, progress has slowed some what. Its booked in for paint next thursday and will be done by the following monday. More pic's of the beast then.
Update time again. Ive made the link pipe for the headers and now wheather deciding to paint them with heat black or get them ceramic coated. I have found a stainless steel set from the UK so it would be no point spending the money for ceramic coating when I can get the stainless later down the track. Seat is ready for the trimmers, which I'll be dropping tomorrow arvo. Oh and next pic's you'll see, is the paint done. Its getting clsoe to getting back on the road! :D

Efe said there is no comfy seat on a german fighter
Deano, yeah gets full travel mate! Cheers banditrod, it wont be any sort of cruiser seat, but wont be an alloy plate either.
