Looks wicked, just like the designer wanted. :happyhappy:
Dunno whether to get the headlight painted red or the mudguard painted black...

Neither, if it were mine. Two-tone effect looks cool, and like it was meant to be that way. You could paint the panels under the seat black or get black aftermarket cans maybe.

If you have to then I vote paint the mudguard.

'Course everyone's colour sense is different I guess.

What bike's the horn from btw?

Ooops, forgot to say headlight/horns came from top bloke wheelie merchant jim
http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/memberl ... ile&u=3153

Crash bungs are massive, RH side one has step/cutaway for the radiator hose, LH one is full-on huge! They were on the bike when I got it, RH one has been scuffed quite badly so previous owner must have dropped it :( I was going to remove them to match the V-Raptor but now the headlight is on I like 'em just where they are.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, glad you like her as much as me! :D I think the idea of spraying the underseat covers gloss black will work nicely, going to try that I think.

Cheers, Bfef.

Keen eyes noticing the tail! It's a bit boring really - when I bought the bike it had an LED rear light that didn't really work very well and the tail tidy put the indicators in the wrong place for a rack / grab rail that I tried to fit. Also the number plate bothered me having the garage logo all over it (they were useless after the sale) so I though it was better put back to stock with an OEM rear tail light / mudguard / new plate. Also the original tail seems to keep the spray from the wheel down a bit in the wet. It's all a process of reversing the bad deeds done by the previous owners, I keep finding bits changed away from stock that are better returned to original - OK except the new headlight maybe :oops:
