The Tuxedo still is my all time favorite paint on a bike Jim.
The White tins would work well being the bike is so blacked out. I like it.

I'll leave the paint for a surprise,

That's exactly what I'm thinking of doing, a silver base, course metal flake with a couple candy colours over the top, and a bit of lacing, while still keeping the numbers and logos over it all. Something real tasty that will contrast well against all that black.

Cheers fellas.
Yeah the exchange rate kills us here.
Bike cost my stock around $23,000 second hand. I've spent around $30,000 (includes all the shipping) in parts on this build, which would probably only be $15,000 USD for you guys to buy as most of the parts come from the states. That's no labour either as I'm doing everything along with making all the little custom mounts and **** that you don't see. So it's not easy to build something cool here, just buying the bike is expensive as hell. That's why you don't see too many guys here having more then one bike.

But anyway, it's all in the name of fun so I shouldn't complain

Makes it all worth while when you guys enjoy it as much as me
