  1. ah Paul now I see what you mean I thought what you were saying is put black blocks on the tail, the're not black in the pic they are just darker as in the original pic the paint looked darker on the tail due to the lighting and I was trying obviously unsuccessfully to copy it. its a good point about the angles of block being different I hadn't realized that and thinking about when I do the masking it will best done with the parts on the bike so can line them up also if I can get the angle the same as the tail on the tank it should miss the yam decal that NSD pointed out for now just altered the tail, I think your right paul
  2. yes I had removed the yam decal while doing the block then decided to put it back, I think I will position the blocking so it just runs under the decal, I did consider leaving the tail but thought it added a bit more balance overall. I do have a spare tailpiece so I could do one blue and block the other and see which looks best.
  3. just bought it thanks for the post Ian only Joking as if I'd do a thing like that, nice bike though
  4. thats exactly what I was aiming for thanks
  5. yes I agree it wont look exact the same and will change shape when looked at from different angles but I intend to do all in paint so will mask it and get rough idea of what I'll end up with.
  6. ha ha I can't paint it till the weather gets warm enough
  7. been going to it for the last two summer's when the weather gets warm enough & just not got round to it but this year it got to happen. been messing round on paint and have decided to go with this although I am attempting to do it myself so f#ck knows what it will turn out like was wondering if anyone else has any ideas although I am pretty set on this now
