Cheers guys for the comments,
Some of the older members might know of the bikes history,was a faired custom job with bits from mario narvo.
Was originally owned by a guy named Mono,who dumped it,then sold it to my mate who transformed it into a fighter.
I picked it up 2yrs ago ,but it needed some TLC.
F/end is off a 01 900ss ducati,has a JMC s/arm, HP shock,Gillies rear sets.
All i did was polish frame /Rad,outer rims.Painted the centres black ,give a satin paint job and h/light mask.
ust wanted to give it a freshen up,its no show bike,the front indicators are just above the btm triples ,their wrap around LED's

When i first picked it up

Hey Erno,

That looks grouse mate!

love the way you have freshened her up!

As you would be well aware I like the polished look and the new headlight is a winner.

Would a small custom screen be out of place?

Its amazing what a little paint and a little polish can do eh?

love the headlight but does it give enough light down road?

little polish? Holy cow, all those cast areas sanded and polished must have been a lot of work.

" JMC s/arm"
What swing arm is that?

Unrelated, but sense we have a few Aussie's here I would like to share some great Aussie music, here is a band from Melbourne that I bet no one heard over here in the states:

Again sorry for the hijacking, just some nostalgia, I new personally Stuart Cranney from Sydney triple M radio station and spent some time at the station back in the 90's, he was introducing and promoting lots of new rock bands that otherwise would never get anywhere.
