Very nice. It's one with bare minimum stuff, isn't it. No steering lock or ignition? Or is it one with all that stuff?

AS you're probably aware, all pointless stuff anyway. Only thing they're good for is breaking. I've had DT's without either. My current DT has no steering lock.

I hope you have some nice Almax chains and padlocks. These are the sort the thieves love. Big supermoto's.

Decided to make the bike a bit more meaner. Put on a headlight of a husky 510 painted the wheels midnight black. Still to do

Got some metal mulisha pro taper fat bars comming in

Have some stickers for the wheels aswell 

And probably few other bits :) here is a pic of the w paint on the wheels. I will keep this updated with the progress 20140825_144004.jpg

How do you get such a nice finish on the wheels mate? I've got a set of excel rims which are standard silver but they look a bit tired so I'm thinking of spraying them up

that was before clear coat hopefully they stay like this :) well what i did most importantly got a bucket of really hot water and dipped the spray cans in there, it makes the paint flow alot better through the nozzle letting all the metal flake etc out :)

mine were silver aswell could cleaned them up to a chrome finish but the bike would just look way better with black ones. it was meant to be a gloss black and some stickers but with this black its a shame to put the stickers on now lol

Yeah I usually do that anyway so would you just suggest doing that and some soft emery paper? I think I've got a better chance selling my rims if they're already black haha

Yep it will help the primer stick better. I didn't do it and now I'm worried that the paint will chip off easy

Or better. Use harder paper than primer it and wet sand the primer . So than it will still be smooth and will hold really well
