Looks good - I particularly like the design on the fairing - paint or decals?

Motographics number board, brightens it up a bit

Nice bike, same colour as mine.
Were disc bolts a pain to get out?

lol an absolute pain!, one sheared off and one completely buggered the thread, luckily the guy that painted the wheels was able to rethread them.

probolt oil cap, braided brake lines, beowulf can, clear indicator lenses, what have i missed?
Painted wheels, wavey discs, number board on the front, new chain and sprocket (i know you cant see that) cut the back undertray up a bit and got new number plate, screen, bar ends, top plate on brake oil resevoir, blue bolts in petrol cap, i think thats it

Loving the wheels.

Same colour as mine, like the fairing, wheels, wavey discs. Very nice.

Thanks for all the nice comments, i am really pleased with the result so far, i must get the crash bungs on before i drop it!! and the seat will go up to a man in Scotland to recover with basket weave and blue piping and to lower it about an inch.

i think its a bit like having a tattoo...it gets addictive.....and bloody expensive

Just added it all up

oh dear!! thing is i sold a nearly new BMW 8OOst and my Blackbird so i figured if i didnt do it now i would just fritter the money away, my OH has just spent the rest on a K5

So its definitely all gone now

On every forum....theres always one

karlo · « **Reply #15 on:** 20 June 2013, 07:51:08 am »

Had the same thought for my wheels don't really want polished rims so thought about a bright silver.

Nice job mate. Classy but not overdone. Possibly looks faster than mine. Enjoy.

You're right about the colour!! like the wheels particularly, does the can make much difference?

If you mean performance, the can was pretty much done straight away so really not enough time to tell, sounds good though, nice throaty sound without being offensive

Obsession (n)
1. Preoccupation: an idea or feeling that completely occupies the mind, eg: "His obsession with colour led him to having the completely mistaken belief that blue bikes are faster"
2. The uncontrollable persistence of an idea or emotion in the mind, sometimes associated with psychiatric disorder, eg:delusions of blue equating to high speed.
