Nice one Mick.
Great colour, is that standard or custom? Rear seat cover really shows it off as do the wheels and stripes.
Just in case you wish to spend even more cash.......TEC have some Black Friday offers on this week with a few interceptor parts included.
You'll have fun on that for sure, keep us posted how you get on with it and your thoughts 👍

Dave I think it's a standard colour but the previous owner had the side panels and seat hump painted to suit. It's not my favorite colour scheme but price was right.

I think it looks great Mick and wouldn't change it at all. Looks like you have the RE touring fitted seat as well, they are very comfortable. The only mods I'd make are to replace the footrests for the TEC adjustable type that sit a bit lower and the alloy gear and rear brake levers as they are adjustable for big feet (like mine!).
Great looking bike, you did well there👍
