I'm pretty proud of how bikety looks, and since she just celebrated her 35 000kms birthday, I thought I would share her new facelift with the wilddogs!  O0

Lots of effort went into making her pretty again from a broken up/down, battered and bruised riding machine into a pretty awesome riding machine!  Big thanks to Hondsekierie for all his help on the bikety project!  :thumleft:

Taking her apart:

Cleaning her up and making her all sparkly:

Things I (we) did:

-> Sand down and respray the rusty and scraped bits
-> Powder coat the crash bars etc
-> New plastics (here are the old ones):

-> An amazing coat-it coat on my tank (I love this!)  :biggrin:

-> A custom designed sticker kit (bandit signs did an awesome job I think)
