Okay folks. You may or may not remember me lol.

Bought my m620 originally looking a little worse for wear:

Then for last summer i eventually got her looking like this:

This winter i've been busy again. With the help of my dad she got stripped down like this:

And she's been repsrayed :) Put the tank sticker's on today and taking it back for laquering tomorrow. Really pleased with the outcome. Also managed to get a rear seat cowel! The engine casing's are off as i'm repainting them too. My dad's also fitted me a new clutch and fork seals :thumbsup:

Looking good, have you though about powder coating your hangers black?

My might want to edit pic 3 so it does not show your plate!

I'm actually considering painting them the same colour as the engine casing's are going, which is more like an anthracite type colour.

Cheers, that's what i thought :) Ideally i'd have had the wheels powder coated, but after this summer i'm considering swapping for something abit bigger. If i don't then i will have the wheels done over the next winter.
It's been a great first bike though and i'm really looking forward to spending time on it this summer again!

Also, here's my other project. Won't be to everyone's liking but i love it... My Saxo. Owned it just over 3 years now and was completely standard when i bought it :thumbsup:

Thanks pal. They've also been shortened about 2/3inch (can't remember how much exactly) and de-baffled. They sound lush.

Again, that's thanks to my dad. Without him my car and bike wouldn't be how they are! Lol.

I like that Monster; especially the red tape. I'm contemplating tape and that look suits the dark.

Where did you get your tape?

My hangers are badly worn so need polishing / painting. I will be interested in how yours come out.

I got my tape from my uncle. He fit's all the sign's outside shops for companies like Next etc. so is able to get it for me.

Personally i'd go for painted/powder coated if i were you. Not a fan of polished stuff :thumbsup:
