Complete Cat

Ok so after a bit of a faff with crashing and having a whole front end rebuild and lots of things repainted, again many thanks to Nick for all his help. The cat needed a final handful of decals added to finish the bike to the standard it was before, got some ebay specials for £8! and I think they are pretty dang good for the price, especially compared to the official ones!

Here are some before and after pics, looks ok I think given I am usually useless at stuff like this but spent a few hours this afternoon lying on my back on my drive, underneath the bike looking a bit of a Pratt, sadly no photos of that though

Nice work Dave

Looking real nice well done.

Paul.

Very nice. I bet your glad its all over now though.

You can just concentrate on the riding now!

Hi
I love that colour Cat.!!!!
Nice Bike

cheers!

It was one of the things that drew me to the bike, not many paint schemes like that around.
Looks even better now everything is original on it, except the loud exhaust!

I would have liked to have got hold of one in that spec. My mate has just bought a set of those fairings from China and they really are good for the cash. I bought the tank cover from him in black,but haven't used it yet. It really is good quality and he had no issues with putting any of the panels on,so I might do a complete change of colour over the winter.

when I was rebuilding mine after crashing it (well nick was rebuilding it, I was buying parts ) I thought about those aftermarket fairings, but found a good set of originals on ebay, as I couldn't stretch to the cost of the chinese full sets, though if I were ever to go on track days and had more cash I would think about them as a spare set to use and keep the originals for road use.

Hi
Same here.I would like a set of the chinese panels if I had the spare cash. Your bike doe's look very nice though and you have made a superb job of matching it all together,VERY NICE INDEED..!!!!

thanks again, sadly its a bit mucky at the moment, took it out this morning and the roads are covered in mud and crap, so hopefully if the weather can hold off for a few hours i can give her a good clean and polish!

One vent hose is too shy to peek out??

ummm not entirely sure, only ever been 2 there since I owned it and the previous owner never mentioned there being 3.....

I think only imports have three??

I hopes so, was getting worried I should have a 3rd hose!

Mine has three, but is a import.

Looking good, nice work on the graphics!

phew, glad there is a difference, was getting worried there, the decals were ebay specials and would highly recommend them, not quite exact yamaha copies but pretty close for £8 a set
