The us version has: a black side with 2 different colour lines: From inside to outside Black - gold - black - white - black.

Don't buy decals without having seen them. Or buy them from Diego - Piki - his decals are ok.
I always paint the lines.

Here is a sunrise flake orange I did for James in 2016:

Wow, they are stunning. Can i ask how much that would cost?

It wouldn't be until sometime next year, bike isn't on the road yet.

Steve you won.t be disappointed with Menno's paint it is just superb.
I have had a 500 and 175 done by him ,
previously had a 750 done over here by a well known motorcycle tank painter
 and it wasn't a patch on Menno's and cost more even with postage.

+1 with Rich. Menno's work is excellent, not just the finish but the prep. Just waiting for another set to come back from him at the moment.
