  2. Nope. It can be quite intense actually. However I am able to multi-task and dip in here now and again.

  4. I love it :)

    Looks fantastic and you have obviously put a lot of time, effort and thought to get it just the way you like.

    Like the chequered flag, nice touch there,

    Will be great to see it all together with the evil red eyes on :)
     
  5. Thanks guys! Yes it's a long process but I am sure that I will be extremely happy when it's finished!

    As soon as I get the video for the headlights while its been bench tested...I will post it up!

  6. I decided to re-paint the ghosted checkered flag on the bike, the reason for it is you can barely see it even in the sunlight...so back to the drawing board to make it a little more noticeable lol!

  7. Not overly keen on the gold but other than that its a great piece of work.

    Bikes should be unique to the owner.........otherwise we would all be riding around on Hondas! :wink:
     
  8. Here is a video of my headlights, they are all finished & now I am just waiting for them to arrive!

  17. Really nice looking finish. I would be too worried about scratching the paint job.

    maybe not to everybody's taste, but still a very tidy job.
     
  18. Are you ever going to get around to riding this thing? :tongue:
     
  19. Of course! That's the last thing left now is to install the fairings back on & for the weather to turn good, then it's riding time lol!
