sorry for poor pics had to use my 7 year old's camera
the decals look amazing in green ill try get some brighter pics later
im about to strip it down again now as ive only space for it as frame and forks but i had to see it built up for the first time ever.
big thanks to Firebird , SuperbikeDan and Del much love :smitten:

Lovely bike.
Inverting the spider to sort out the chain clearance issues is a great idea. Nice one
