frame is completely stripped and heading to the powdercoaters on thursday
you wait till you see my new color scheme. Im going to make a replica of this...
Ok.. thats a lie, you caught me out...
but I am planning on getting my frame done in an interesting color that not many people would even think of

will have to wait until after the frame is blasted before I will know if it can be done.

braking will be taken care of by an aprilia RSV1000 caliper and an EBC Pro-Lite disc with Iron Rotor and forged Ally center..
Just picked the disc up off ebay 'lightly used' for a song

Id originally wanted clear powdercoat on blasted frame but realised that it wouldnt look the way I wanted because it wouldnt be a 'virgin' finish with all the weld coloring etc, it would just look like a dark silver powdercoat.
so now Im just tossing up between two std colors, I have to decide tonite as the frame is at the powdercoaters now!
Standard gloss white
Gloss Gun Metal grey (couldnt get the gloss right in photoshop so use imagination) or metalic black
Im actually leaning towards gun metal grey because it brakes up the white and purple a little.
tell me what you think?????

bottom end of engine is done and looks good
hopeing to get my frame back this week.
and with my trusty heat gun I was able to get my OEM CRM airbox to fit onto the bell mouth of the PWK38 carb, so Im very happy as that will save me arseing about trying to make a new airbox manifold.
