Well, seemed a reasonable day to start changing things on my bike so took a few photos for memories sake. Thought I stick em up here. In the next couple of weeks (well week after next cos I'm off work and can get something done), there will be;
Definites;
RSV swingarm change
Wheels powder coated Aprilia red with silver pinstripe to match paintwork
Sidestand change
Possibles;
Downpipes jet hot coated. Keep changing my mind on that as they're mainly covered up.
Carbon front mudguard
Side fairings colour matched
Rearsets powder coated black

They all look big when the pics taken at that angle.
I'd have gone for black wheels and silver strip.
It'd look good with black pinstripes faded at the ends on the tank/tail unit

I did think that (very shiny gloss black) but it wasn't different enough. I want it to stand out a bit. Had my mate do a photoshop on it a year or so back and it looked brilliant (lost the bloomin photo now like). If its sh*te I'll just get em redone, full job is £70 including strip and powder coat so not too expensive.
Just gotta get brake discs off and bearings out tonight and they're ready to go.
