Daisy, I am so impressed with what you do with your bikes. Not just for a girl....but for anyone.....that's a brilliant effort!! I admire people who are happy to tinker and learn............ :kuda: :kuda: :kuda: :kuda:

Man you have done a magnificent job restoring that bike !
My opinion. It needs some graphics to accentuate the lines. Think along the lines of the factory style graphics and be creative with colours. You have a nice canvass to work with.

I think you missed the whole point of painting it white. ;)
The factory graphics didn't even accentuate the lines, it was just a flat pattern laid over the side of the bike. As for the paintwork I bought it with ... :vom:

You mean that you don't like this ?
I recall the B3 models looked average. And yes the paint job you bought it with was horrid.
