K6 in holographic metalflake over opalescent black, custom seat, old Z1 bars and various stainless and ally bits mostly made by my own fair hands  :)

Do those bars fit straight on, did any of the wiring have to be extended?

For me what makes your bike Dave is not the paintwork - its the round mirrors rather than the oblong ones - give it a much better retro look.

So.....still selling it?

The wiring was ok, I think I just rerouted it slightly and the throttle cables were also fine once I'd turned the twistgrip upside down so they came out of the bottom. I did need new clutch and brake lines though but they were just over the counter Goodrich items.

In answer to the above comments yes it is going up for sale, it's certainly one of the best bikes I've ever owned but I've reached the point now where I'm struggling to cope with it so I am on the hunt for something smaller and lighter. I have been offered £3,500 for it in trade in but haven't found the bike I want in a local dealers yet.
