Thanx guys,
I will try to keep this level of detali for the rest of the build. Your support means a lot !

He..he..ignition cover ! I have some ideas...but nothing fancy I´m afraid...NOT ! :lol:

First I need advice on this:

What to do with the rocket cover ?
Paint silver like the case, polish, black wiht some milled details ?
Let me know.. :P

First let me say the whole bike looks great...really beautiful!
My feeling is to paint the valve cover black with some milled details, in keeping with the cylinders and head. Most of it will not be seen, unless you are planning something radical with the tank....? :evil:

Brilliant. Looks absolutely fantastic. How about silver with black-painted milled accents on the cam cover?
