  6. Cheers for the video version, enjoy
     
  7. Nice job. That swingarm will get split opinions. :)
    What make are the rearsets?
     
  8. It's no from me, but each to their own. Lovely resto though, very nice work.
     
  9. Nice job, couple more years of V4 ownership and I'm looking at getting/doing something similar. :upyeah:
     
  10. Oh! Are polished bits not allowed!! It had that from virtually new so I tried to keep same styling etc. Pretty easy to swap back to a grey arm, but I thought polished looked alright!! Interesting

  11. Anything is allowed, it’s your bike. I am merely pointing out that it won’t be to everyone’s taste. But ultimately who cares? So long as you like it that’s really all that matters.
    Rearsets?

  12. Do you know what. Crazy as it seems. Its not my bike. I'm doing a friend a favour!! He owes me big time and she stays in my garage for now so I will get to ride. Those rear sets don't have any markings on them. They came from a place called Casoli's in London somewhere. A solid set and cleaned up nicely. It was nice to save a few bits but so much had to be bought new. Ready to do another one now for me to keep!

  13. Can I ask if that is the standard grey frame? - It looks slightly beige in the photos. I'm looking for the paint code for frame and wheels MY2001...

    Thx

  14. Looks great but the paddock stand/side stand dangling in the breeze really grates.

  15. You’ve made a very nice job of that, the video made me a bit dizzy though.
     
  16. Great transformation .... no doubt took a long time and expense but great results :upyeah:
     
  17. It is colour code RAL 1035. It is a mat beige/gold. A little bit too beige for my liking so would probably go RAL 1036 if i did it again. Hope this helps
