I have another project in mind and when finished should look nice too.

OK ..... but don't take a spray gun or hacksaw anywhere near the Oasis!
You have been warned !
Mmmm there's a thought :smt005 Never!
I posted and said the white bike was finished but in time i am thinking of a few other trick bits.
I have an mpl slave cylinder to fit and in time i think i will change the disks for some after market ones.
I can't think of anything else but to then ride and enjoy the bike

That bike is more than worthy of the front cover (and maybe a centrefold spread). If Aprilia had put that pic in their advertising campaign everone would be riding one.

Have to say you've made my mind up for colours now.......I think the bike's looking bloody good in white , makes you wonder why they never did it in the first place.. :smt017

Going to be a bugger to clean that's for sure but with all the water we've got down here in sunny Cornwall that won't be a problem...... :smt003

Great job and well done ...

I even thought about having the lions head on the side of the bike.
I think it is ok has it is.
