Looking very nice so far.
I don't think these pics do justice to the paint though. The nicely subtle but strong grey stripe is very tasteful, and I'm sure it is more prominent in the flesh.
I'd keep the forks ally coloured.
But yes, black rotors (maybe that matt black metallic vht stuff viz tail-light bkt), leaving just the right (minimal) amount of little gold highlights at calipers, fork tops and chain adjusters.
Shame it needs a radiator really. The 4v motor looks great when you can see it properly.
Are you keeping the brutal, open pipes ?

And for next winter....charcoal/gunmetal anodising on the swingarm.....
Though I think I detect a weakening for a single sider......but I wouldn't.

Is that a Nitron shock. I quite like the wrongness of the blue spring.
