looks quite good ! whats with the wrap on exhausts ? like to see it with mudguards ,nr plate etc . or is that how you ride it ?

Some of the exhaust has some rust spots on it. also had to add onto it . so it hides all that. Plus it looks cool. as far as fenders go. I like it without.

That's nice, like the colour scheme and the black wrap goes well against the orange. cheers

Very nice! What's that finish on the engine looks textured?? Like those wheels as well, really suit the bike.

The paint is from VHT its called krinkle . its also for up to 350 deg so it holds up very well on the engine.

The wheels are the stock ones that came on the bike .I just painted them black. look at the first pic to see what they looked like before I painted them.
