Looks good.
The throttle cable routing with the new paint looks strange and is different than the original paint picture. Is there a reason for routing different?
Bike looks good. I am just curious is all.

Some day I may get a shorter cable and give it a shot, but the old cable did make it idle up when at full lock.

Good looking machine. Can we see some pics of the graphics on the tank and fender tops please?

Basically just checkerboard, smaller areas on the fenders.
My best friend did the paint, kinda crippled up but he had been wanting to paint it for just materials since I bought it in '06. Just couldn't do that. I got rearended and got a decent insurance check so I turned it over to him.
He first shot it Silver with small flakes, masked it off including the checkerboard patterns and shot the Black. Pulled the tape and shot everything Brandywine, including the Black (looks really nice in the light). Laid out the razorwire graphics and shot those with the Silver flake. Don't know how many coats on any of the paint, especially the clear. I put the bike on my lift in August and stripped the tins off, put it back together last June. He could only work on it a couple of hours a day and some times he couldn't do anything for weeks. That little speedo mount got redone 3 times, for some reason it ate him up.
Getting a nice paint job is kinda like your woman getting a new set of *****, you love her and after the upgrade you just fall in love all over again.
