Looks great.
I have a thread on here looking for a castrol body kit for my Hawk.
So, in my personal opinion, you should strip your bike's body.
Replace all the plastics, with nice stock red or yellow ones.
Then, you can sell me the Castrol set for dirt cheap
lol.
Bike looks great, I wouldn't change a thing (unless you need to sell me the body)

Looks sweet Dave, I'd leave it as is...maybe some high mount exhaust cans (the TBR's sound awesome on the hawk) and flush mount signals on the back to make complete the racy look...bad *** dude, enjoy

More knowledgeable members may know better but I think these colors were factory race team colors at one time or another. If these are factory plastics and not aftermarket you may have a very unique motorcycle.
I like it. It's not my bike. Bring yours over and I may trade you for my Red one. Maybe not.

that is my favorite paint scheme without doubt. If I can ever get around to painting mine that is what I'm going to do. There is another post on here somewhere from an australian rider I believe with very similar paint. I think one fo the years colin edwards rode the RC51 he used that paint scheme. Very nice

I think the scheme might grow on you, but its just like girls, if you dont get the one really like you will be looking longingly at ones that DO look like the one you wanted. Reminds me of colin's bike in this link

Nice, what other mods are there and who did the paint? I see the front TS, missing bar end wts, diff levers and maybe a bar change which we all crave to see in detail, hoses... No garage, eh? I'd like to see pics of your neighborhood. CCM is located in the Manchester area but I thought an extinct Brit bike mfgr used to crank em out by you too but the name escapes me. Was it Vincent? No, they were in Stevenage.
I've considered before buying the Pyramid Extenda

but not in carbon, however since I made my own years ago the holes I made will not line up with the 3 the Pyramid unit requires. Though I suppose who would notice if I filled and painted them.

Thanks for the comments 
The pictures are from before i bought it from UK eBay, but i will clean it up and post some better ones this weekend
I guess most of you like the castrol scheme
Yeah there's braided hoses and a extenda fender fitted, not to struck on the red levers!, there was also a hugger at one time as the chain guard is missing but i can soon sort that
Heres one more pic from the Side/back, i also have to fit the seat hump
Thanks Dave

Sorry what i mean to say is, i'm not sure if i like the red levers 
I will probably get a friend to polish them until he removes the iodising
Also here is my other project bike . . . YSR80 now with 250cc 4 stroke engine
Enjoy
