Title: transformation
Post by: Rombloke on August 23, 2007, 10:25 PM: ok, decided to give my blue 85 sport a revamp, never really did like the colour, so stripped the frame forks and bars, then with one of superbikedon's powder jobs, which i have to say is absolutely mint, and a new decal set the sport lives again in a new disguise.

hope you like it, and dan will no doubt chime in with how quick this was built up, i only pcked it up tonight at 7.30

before the build, seemed a shame to apply decals the paint was so nice
