    Great looking bike but someone has done it already. Plenty of other configurations to choose from.
    Perhaps something with a brand name.......just putting it out there!!
    Here's a thought, ask Bob what he thinks, we gave him free range on a zxr once and we weren't disappointed.

    I have received a call from Bob, tigerblade decals are $225 , then I have to paint the bike. Will need to save a few $$$

    Here are some pics of the forks , I have stripped them back to raw metal and painted them a metallic charcoal and clear coated them, I intend on painting the wheels the same colour as well I found the best set of bars that I had and painted them silver as well as the rear sub frame. Might aim for a build day next Sunday, let me know if you are keen to pop around.

    Nice work!
    The Tigerblade decals are for the 250?

    Why not paint it like an FZR? It will draw attention because of intrigue. People will see it ride by and have to look twice then get all confused about what they just saw.

    It could work, right? lol

    Yep, the guy in the UK who does the decals will shrink the tiger blade decals to match the MC22 layout (see below)

    Nice job Chris, like the colour scheme. Think the wheels in that charcoal will look HOT !!

    How many did you need per wheel? Did you just get them from bunnings? I've found proper automotive spray cans to be quite expensive...
