Title: could be convert
Post by: ianmitch2112 on Tuesday, 11 July 2023, 05:19 AM
Evening people i used to have a 1400 a few years back but some little scumbag had it away about a week after i got it ,anyway i  just picked up a black 04 mainly as a run around to save some wear and tear on my Ducati Diavel but to be honest its not to bad a ride so i am tempted to chop it up a little and make it a bit more personal for me. hopefully using the vast amount of knowledge here

  cheers
      Mitch

Bike stealing scumbags need their arms breaking once a week for life so they can't do it again.

Hi Mitch and welcome to the nuthouse 🤣🤣
Blacked out parts look nice and the bling handlebars stand out 👍
Being a slower colour I'd be modifying it too  :stir:

Black?   Vincent Black Shadow, Mad Max, Bat Man, The Bluesmobile, Knight Rider, Black Sabbath, heaps more.  :cool:

Blue and White ?   The Tesco Carrier Bag Edition...  :happy1:

Welcome Mate. I dont get into the colour thing, I like black ones but mine isnt. Get rid of eyebrow over headlight, would look good. IMO only.
