Two things I recommend you do.
1) Get a seat cowl done for when you show it or solo it. It really would be the business.

2) Get those red ducati stickers of your lid. You now need to look cool on your cool looking bike. ( or get a Momo lid )

Well done mate and I really want to start mine over again. Yes REALLY !!!!!!!!
You read my mind Albie - it's screaming out for matching seat cover. I would also consider colour matching the sidepanels, or leaving them off to reveal more of the frame?

Top job scrapps - it's a beauty & possible Arrow Mill BOTY

I think to much silver would be over kill. I like the way the blue/black and silver looks. maybe a seat cowl would look good esp with the #on it to tie in with the belly pan.
I want to put older style pipes on it,maybe in satin black for the more retro look. i will keep my eye out for some secondhand.(single pipe conversion would be nice)
Happy to swap my lovely "carbon can co" cans for the right pipes s/h(my cans are new as replaced by insurance when stolen)

Ho ho... just goes to show you can polish a turd afterall then?!

I reckon we should all get a prize at the weekender - it's turned out to be a real club effort by the sound of it! - isn't the UKMOC great!

Dont worrie JMo i will not mess with the tail it will stay black....
anyway budget all gone and i need to save my pennies for the weekender beer fund

It would be nice to think mine (and Albies) efforts would be noticed at the weekender but there will be lots of bike biult by people with much bigger talent and budgets than mine who i am sure will do better.

Quite possibly, but money and 'talent' are no guarantee of taste and class...

You've certainly got my vote for best paint, but you'd have to lose that ghastly tail for it to be my B.O.T.Y... x

(and I'd prefer to see the OE headlight brackets too btw.)

You've done a fantastic job!

some people bikes are sooo blinging you have to wear shades when the sun hits them ...arc eye.. lol..

I don't think the paint people better let me near the glitter cupboard... itl be like christmas cards at playschool... glitter .. no more .. oh just give me the glitter ....whoops..sorry..

Scrapps your bike is great... if all men had glittery bikes the world would be a wonderful happy place..
!! I think is tops!..it works so well.... love it!!!!.. honestly..
yours Hologram flakes???
I need to check out flake size as well... i don't want some piddly flake thing going on....
the car I saw the other week was a bit ... well... sparse.. squint and you missed the metalflake!!
im pondering between hologram and rainbow... if your going to do it then I feel it has to be OTT!!!..
My other bike has a discotastic glittery red seat as well that um made the owners club..weep then laugh!!..but they know me well!..... well done!!!
