It's looking really good. I love the seat and the engine colour.

I dig the color but I'm not crazy about the thick black outline on the pinstripe. Somehow it feels a little "80s Yamaha".

personally i like the scallop and think the black outline matches with the gas cap and the rest of the black to tie it altogether.
