Sorry Albie, I didn't answer your question.
I did the whole engine after I'd bolted it together and spent an age masking up what I didn't want painting.
I scraped and cleaned as much as possible, but did just blow over some of what I couldn't get to. Slapped wrist I know.

Darkness
The idea for the stand came from Kato, and I was going to make them, but they came up on Ebay before I got started.

Darren
Yep, went for APE studs.

The superlight seat is Carbon, I brought it at a Bike jumble for £80 - Bargain.
It will need to be resprayed in Red, but I will leave the strip of carbon showing along the bottom.
I didn't like the fact that you had to remove the four bolts holding it on to access the storage underneath, so have converted it to take the standard seat locking mechanism. I've also added some support brackets underneath.

Give me a short while to upload some images to photo bucket and I'll show you what I've done.
