Paint the frame cover and the plastic infill bellow the seat in matt black. They look disjointed. Black will contrast strongly with the white whilst not adding volume to the image. Polish the peg brackets and the whole lot will present as very crisp and neat without being overdone.
Bellypan would add a great deal to the asthetics as well. As it is it appears unfinished, even though that is the way it was released from the factory.
Keep the original indicators as I think they really suit what you are doing. Mini indicators would look a little too "try hard"
The radiator could receive some attention by polishing the sides yet leaving the fins in the original black.
Also remember it's yours and to customise it the way you want it to look, don't get carried away with what others think. ;)
I got a sweater for my birthday. I realy wanted a moaner or a screamer.

I am very pleased with it! Hope to ditch the Ermax screen though and still NO MIRRORS :twisted: :twisted:

Nice work Saki, the white looks great. I painted the side covers on mine flat black and it looks heaps better. People have mentioned a belly pan for mine also but I am still undecided about it. You need to do something about the red engine covers now. I bought covers that are also crash knobs that are black with Z1000 engraved into them. They look good and protect the engine too. I ordered them from here http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/sc ... roduct=141
