However as your bike is so non stock why not get the frame nickel coated like the Seeley 750 Hondas. Always loved that look and it looks really trick as well.

Nice idea but "computer says NO!!!"

acht , just think of all those hours I'll have to spare not sitting in the shed polishing a nickel platedd frame ;(

I think silver looks best goes with the Black tank etc, or you could do what the lads were doing in the 80's and paint it Red  ;) cheers Mick.
