Looks brilliant.

Did you remove the small brackets on the frame down tubes which the reflectors screw in to for US models , or don't the UK models have these?

I totally agree. First time in a long time that I have seen something that has that extra bit that makes it outstanding. The colour is totally superb.

I can only echo Davy's comments Steve. It's a cracking looking bike that certainly has something special about it.
Well done Sir.

Not normally of the four pipe persuasion but that is stunning, well done.

Thanks for all the positive comments fellas, I'm very pleased with the bike it turned out better than I expected. It's amazing how much attention it gets when I pull up somewhere (but that's Zeds for you). Graham I do have a couple of UK rear lenses but opt to use the US version as I feel It looks better and is a little safer due to the extra reflectors in it, I still have to fit the battery tray but It's nice to have it in a finished state so now I'll have some time to get to know the family again. :)
