Hey dude yeah it's all coming together quiet nice =) it's not as good as I wanted at the moment I'm just building it up for over the summer! Next winter it will be a another rebuild with everything sand blasted and powder coated.. I'm thinking Kawasaki green swing arm, fork legs and other little odds and sods, black frame and White panels and tank

Are those fork sliders pink?

Cant argue for £80 and looks tidy enough - kinda reminds me of those colour concept VW's from years back
