thanks for the comment! its pretty much like the SE but slightly different. my black is more like a flat black and and my white has a little more pearl to it. I also have a flat black gas tank rather then having a red tank.

ok I took the pictures before i washed it because it was kinda getting dark, and wanted to get some decent pictures. I like the way it looks, but im thinking it would look really nice with some red rim tape sorry for the long wait I hope everyone enjoys.

Very Nice - I love the look. It really sets the lines of on the new generations. Rim tape would be nice if it were the same shade of red.
Anything else on your to-do list?

It's very beautiful, hoping to see the pics with the rim tape soon, and the windscreen... are you going for light smoke?

John, Real eye candy---beautiful job! If you plan on going for rim tape--a reflective white would look really nice--but that`s detail stuff for when the weather is bad.

I found the new parts on craigslist The guy that was selling the parts turned his bike to a track bike, so there was no need for the stock body parts. I got every body part except for the gas tank for $550 parts where flawless showroom condition! he took the parts off right when the bike got delivered to his house. thats why I love craigslist I look everday lol
