I’ve just finished the body : paint job + Stickers.

I’ve tried to turn the 80′s color sheme into a more modern one, inspired from Ducati.

Now I need to take care of the pilot, I have to find some references for the color (I don’t like the original white leather :))

I had to replace the frame also after some issues with steering stem bearings (you can see the old black frame in the background.
