That tank looks fantastic.  8) Love a bit of pinstriping. Black art these days.
Yeah, had a time trying to find a painter that wouldn't just put vinyl decals on.  If I'm gonna pay for it, I wanted the real deal.

I think the results look like they speak for themselves. Who did it for you?
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.

A guy named Jack from Peanutbutter Customs out of Watford.  He's been an absolute legend helping me get the exact look I was going for.  I'd definitely recommend him.  www.peanutbuttercustoms.com

That tank looks awesome.   Are you bothering with sidepanels or will it spoil the look?
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

I'm keeping them off - I wanted that triangle clear to give the bike a lighter look to it.

Looks very good. Does not seem too many moons ago that we were popping the valves out of that head :)

Nice!
Looks like you ditched air box, you are not looking for a new home for it by any chance ::)

Up and running now - just need to sort the front brakes.

What kind of air filters are those?

It looks great!

They're K&N pods.  I've read that as far as pod filters go, they're the best you can get, so I figured I'd give myself the best chance I could at getting it tuned up right.
