One step forward, two steps back... i fitted the seat and all the plastics but the red frame on the sides, connecting to the white main frame looked 'a bit much' so i removed the frame so that i could paint the tubes black where you can see them under the side panels
i sanded the lacquer back with 400 grit paper and gave them four coats of primer
three coats of gloss black, no lacquer...

Looking good Sean, I've got a supermoto one too
Do the subframes just bolt on and off?
Mine is looking a bit worse for wear and could do with rubbing down and paint

Yeah its only held on with 3 bolts, once you remove those and disconnect the tail light sensor it comes away easilly from the bike
*edit: and theres a couple bolts that hold the airbox in place...

If anyone else is thinking of buying spoke wraps dont bother!! ive spent the past hour and a half trying to fit the things and ive so far managed three, theyre a pain in the fucking ass. Im gonna match the colour of the spokes and try touching up where the anodising has worn off instead.... I have a mountainbike with an anodised turquoise frame and for that i used nail varnish on the scratches which worked really well so i'll give that a go

apparently grease the spokes then open the ends with a screwdriver to slide on.

I tried all that but theyre just a major ball ache, especially when you have to mess around with the spoke tension and the nipples begin to round off, they dont show you that bit online on the installation video!
The spokes would of probably looked better wrapped but in the end my patience ran out lol... If anyone wants the spoke wraps they can have them for postage costs, however they are all trimmed down to supermoto size.
Im gonna take a trip down to boots soon and have a look at their nail varnish Selection. The last time i took my girlfriend with me because i thought she would be of help but instead she stood there laughing at me and taking pictures

so i went back on my own and took the bike frame with me
