Really like the look of this. Just been reading through you thread on OSP which makes good reading.
What colour stripes on the body work?

cheers guyz ....

i've used silver and white for the stripes AL, have based the positioning on the 1000R2 because i like the way the tank and tail stripes flow together.
marked it all out with the bodywork fitted to make sure it looks how i want it.

quite excited about laquering it now :D
