Dont twat around with it too much tho Christo. The resale value will never over weight the costs if you do.

The bike can't get worse than it alreadyy is! (OK, it can, but only if I send it through a hedge) Also, I like having a bike built to my spec. If I want small indicators, I shall have small indicators, dammit!

Probably worth spending money getting it as close as back to standard new condition as possible then if you want to tidy it up, that's the kind of bike that usually commands the highest price!

You should always mod as if you're throwing the money away, you're doing it for you, not to improve resale.  One man's treasure is another man's trash or summat.

Given the age of the bike it'll no doubt be uneconomic to do anything beyond keeping it running.

Mod it, enjoy it, and only spend what you can afford to lose.

I'd keep the frame black tbh. It won't be as much of a pain to clean, it retains the original look (might be useful when you sell it) and it'll be far easier to touch up if need be.

If you want something different, do the plastics a different colour or if you want to stay with black, a really nice, deep metallic black or something. At least if you change your mind later all you have to do is take the panels off rather than dismantle the whole bike!

Like others have said though, if you don't plan to keep it long term it might be more economical to keep it as is and save the money to spend on a real tidy bike next time. Wish I'd told myself that before.

Funny that, I'm planning on metal flake metallic black.   

As for keeping it, I WANT to keep it, not sure if I'll be able to.
