Looking at these photos I need to bring the bars back. Lol. I swear they are not that far forward in real life. The camera must be lying!  :LolLolLolLol:  or maybe I had a flashback to my burner years!

Stu you know were good mates but I'm going to be controversial and say sorry I dont like it.

Love Green Masters but I think the white doesnt give it enough contrast.

Big kisses.  :-*  :daumenhoch:

very nice. got a survivor green master myself frame and forks. built up since 2008 but find i still change bits and bobs now and again.

so hard to get the right 'glow' in the photos to do it justice but you've managed that.
