One or two bits of trim. I couldn't take the heel-guards from the old bike because they were glued on, so I'll have to get them. Alan at John Clark Tayside says he is expecting a couple of go-faster, flashy bits.
Oh and there's going to be some extra security - if approached by a bike thief, or a giant squid, I'll be able to electrify the hull!

Looks great - the bellypan works much better than it did with the yellow

Nice looking bike

- as said above- the belly pan works better on the new bike.
What's next? Black wheels or frame?

Damn - why didn't I think of that before I tightened all the screws?
Actually I like the contrast of the "metalic" look of the frames and wheels against the overall black colour-scheme.
And Stoney & Al, you're right, it does look better than it did on the old bike.

...how funny...
...I've also the Castrol, Michelin, and Öhlins decals on the belly pan...
...custom made, in silver...

That looks really neat, Ron!
I took my "sponsors" from someone's Boxercup racing trim, taking the products I actually used on the bike. Of course the new bike's got Metzelers (damitall!

) so it's out with the hairdryer and try to remove the Michelin decals.
Yeah mine were custom made too, but they don't look as professional as yours.

Not since I fell down the stairs at Glasgow Queen Street Low Level.
I have three weeks off at the end of the month, and might have a wee birl on it then.

That'll teach you to drink on your way home..................
Do you want me to give the bike a bit of an "exercise" until you are fit enough to go it yourself??
I'm here for you, if you need me (I don't do bedpans or anything like that, though

)
