Only got the wheels back yesterday

Have test fitted them and they look great. They need to come off again but for now the bike is standing on its own two wheels

Need to finish polishing this carb too.

that's nice and shinny

[Calum]

@mad73 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it won't make a difference. I remember in my tuning book it saying something like, polish everything. Whilst it's not proven to make a difference, it won't do no harm lol.

It's amazing to watch all the scratchs and blemish disappear with each pass.

[Calum]

Have at it.

Loving the change from what you had before! I hope you picked a good colour for the plastics!

@Calum DUDE!!! You gotta swipe that pink shopping basket off that push bike, that would just look AMAZING on your DT!!!

NOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT LOL ;O)

Looks awesome tho bud and matches your axel stands too, now I wonder where you got the inspiration from??? ;O)

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA That's my main mode of transport! You dissing!

@MIGHTMAN ah I am afraid not. Just boring new black plastics. But got a red graphics kit for it though.

Yeah the old wheel colours were just a budget build. Needed the bike daily so it couldn't go off the road. Eventually I maned up and started cycling. Two yesrs without a motor bike is a long time though!

Cheers pal. Getting there anyway!

[mad73]

Wicked !

So I've been putting these little beauts together over a few months as it was pretty expensive....for what they are.

These are Acerbis Dual Roads.

I then found a company that made Carbon Fibre Skins to replace the plastic shrouds. Then Acerbis do LED's for the knuckles. The result, £160 later, are some very funky looking hand gaurds.

So on the left is how they look standard:

How they look on the bike:

How they look on:

How they look together:

And they also look wicked once the sun goes down.

The carbon fibre skins were just stunning. Actually suprised someone went to the effort of making those.

Love these sort of hand guards. Made up something similar to go on my DR-Z. Looked good I thought.

[Calum]

@MIGHTYMAN Yeah they're nice man

[mad73]

[Calum]

Ahh taking forever to pay for things LMAO.

Contrast Up'd and Vibrance Up'd to bring out the wheels on such a dull day!

It's coming together. I have had this pipe for almost three years now and this is the second time it's been on the bike would you believe.

@Calum Looking damn good Calum and I feel your pain. It's always the 'MUST HAVE' versus 'ACTUALLY NEED' demon that keeps getting me! LOL

And that saddle may be a problem for longer rides!!! ;O)

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA I got that. Just most needs to come off again to continue workong on iti

[Biker_123]

The bikes looking great @Calum! Nice colour scheme looking forward to seeing it finished, what other work do you have left to do to the bike?
