Good work sir. Good choice of bike, good buy and nicely done restore. Metallic purple always looks good on bikes of a certain era and you managed to keep the coloured alloy fittings to a tasteful minimum.

But isn't obtaining (or worse, specially painting) a colour-matched paddock stand crossing some sort of line between prudent orderliness and borderline OCD? Laughing

They're rather high on your bike, but at acceptably so though. On her's it just makes it look like the owner wishes they had a street fighter or sports bike instead
