Well its certainly not a nail now.
That looks like a really tidy job, and is typical of the standard that I've come to expect of your bikes.
Pod filters, by the looks of it.
Did you paint the little plastic doodads...I've always thought that was i missed opportunity to put colour where formerly there was just greyness.
And I'm just about with you on the extenda....I bought one myself about a year ago, though its still on the shelf for now, but it will go on once the new paint is done.......I think.
Am I right in thinking that white was never a std colour for the headlamp shell ? The white adds a certain "difference" while still looking "factory", which is neat.
Not so sure about the mirrors. They're maybe a little too old-school for me, though I've seen a lot worse.....but personally I'd prefer bar-enders.
I do have one point of.....er.....constructive criticism though. And I almost hate to mention it, in case you agree once I've drawn your attention to it, and then forever find it annoying, but......
I think that the Ducati graphic on the tank would look better if it was parallel to the one on the clutch cover........
Then again, I'm only looking at one photo, and of just one side of the bike.
But, all in all, that's an absolutely top and tasteful job.
I wouldn't mind betting you've polished the bar clamp too.
And the cans really suit it.
And the hoop disappears nicely in silver, which makes the red frame "pop" even more.
Nice.
