Not my taste, but it's what you think that counts. Cool

It looks quite nice! I'd definately clean up the fork legs though... shotblast and powdercoat?

I'd also clean up that downpipe as well. It lets the bike down Wink

When you do the front forks, if you lacquer them, get a couple of coats done so they don't flake off a few years down the line (like mine have Neutral )

I wouldn't spend too much money on the bike, unless like me you intend on keeping her for a few years. Standard bikes sell really well, but slightly pimped and you're stuck really.

Might be worth investing on different engine bolts too, the standard ones tend to go a bit funny. Although as your's is 2001 the tell tale signs will already be there...like the state of the bottom yoke etc. Karma

Mainly because you'll have done your bike to your tastes which not everybody will share. Nice bike & good work so far. Thumbs Up
