    Well its actually been for about 4-5 days but polishing my bike using foil :) lol
    Keeping in mind this is an Un-restored 1986 model, so I did leave a couple of nuts and bolts in the original rustic look lol
    Otherwise people might question the authenticity of the bike :)

    I'd go with silver to keep it original.

    Sorry @kiffsta I was a sticky beak and saw the winning bid price on your Gixxer. Nicely done!

    Ended up choosing silver and matte black for engine mounts and brackets. 12751948_486405624895374_1633521882_o.jpg

    Went to Honda shop to pick up a new clutch lever for the Dominator to replace the broken one from last weekend when another 'rider' parked real close to me in the street, then promptly fell over and knocked mine over as well. :mad:
    Some people should stay with bicycles. :idk:

    Too bloody right mate, hey considering you are on the dominator have you cable tied a spare throttle and clutch cable running down your frame yet? Nothing worse then being stuck in the middle of nowhere and snap a bloody cable and have to push all the way home :)

    Brilliant idea. I should do this on my ZZR, as I commute to and from work every day on it.

    I got into the habbit when I owned my last ts185 and continued to do it with the dr650 dakar etc but the principle is the same hey and it never hurts to have a spare cable or 2 and maybe even a spare spark plug set as well :)

    I don't have them tied to the frame (where some pr**k can steal them) but are in my tankbag. Bought another one to replace the one I used last weekend, would have spoilt my weekend without it.

    What did I do with my bike today? I sold it. Sad for no bike, happy cash, which disappear in seconds with bills.
