mmmmm......silver......

Silver would be cool, but only if it was plated, not painted.

For a previous project, I got a quote for a chrome plated petrol tank that sent me back to the drawing board so I dread to think what plating a whole frame would be.

May be a plan for when I win the lottery (again)....

practical.....and alluring....

it's going to be a gloss black, with matching wheels. A standard colour will make matching easy if I ever need to touch it up.

Eventually all of it will be done in the same black - inspiration from Rattler's all black track bodywork.

If I was a rich football player I would have an SL/FE with frame, wheels and bodywork all chrome plated. Unfortunately I'm not rich.........and I can't play football.....

Just watched the 'chopper' program on Discovery channel via SKY. They were building a tribute chopper to the New York fire dept and built an amazing chop (I can appreciate the engineering - but it aint my cup of tea) - however, the frame was painted a stunning RED !!!!

Got me thinking - Red 900ss - Red frame - Hmmmmmmmmmm

this is great - once we get an SS meet together, there's not going to be any confusion about finding your own bike within the sea of red, yellow, silver, black, blue, red....

A pic of my baby, she is almost ready, just threw the side panel on so you can get an idea, and still waiting on my tyres to be fitted. Cheers to paulmort for giving the push to have it done.!!! LOL. Think she looks loads better now.

And black is faster than any other colour.!!!!! LOL

Nice work,
