snap!

I like the radiator cover and screen, not a big fan of huggers though (just personal opinion), I think it looks cleaner without. Nice bike though Thumbs Up

I like the overall look but I'm not sure about the screen. If it was me (which it clearly isn't) I would have gone for something a bit more aggressive in appearance.

Pretty, but I love black Wink

I will make it 3 white hornets then!

A hugger is essential but I decided on a black one. I also went for the rad cover and crash bungs.

The bike is for sale if anyone is interested !!

Just realised, does the swing arm look out of place. Its so square (rectangular even) thats it almost looks like it doesn't belong on the bike Confused

Black is better Thumbs Up

I wouldn't go without a hugger, but that's mainly because of the British weather rather than any aesthetic consideration...
But I think the black hugger looks much better than most - the huuuge white hugger is so much "in yer face" that it looks out of proportion ... IMO Wink

I brought the hugger black and didn't like it on so thought it was the colour. I sprayed it white and it still hasn't grown on me so its coming off the weekend. Very Happy

Thank you for your comments, you helped me make my mind up

yeah i agree that huggers is essential in this country even if it doesnt look quite right. i also think the hugger would look better in its original black, still a good looking bike though

The seat looks kinda long

Do they do single seat conversions for bikes like the hornet?

A better idea would to have an arse like a speed triple Cool
