That looks GREAT! I didn't think I'd like it but you definitely pulled it off!

As for the top triple, torque it all down again yourself to be sure it is all tightened to spec. Don't wait for the mechanic, or if you have to, don't ride it until it's fixed. Could be dangerous.

I really like how your bike looks in white. Was wondering if you painted it yourself or sent it out to a pro? Looks pro!

If you wouldn't mind sharing the type of paint and paint code that was used?

I am sure you have given lots of folks reason to choose this color now that we see it come to life.

Wow. Great job! :cheer::thumbup:
I know someone who did the same to his Triumph Daytona.
He also changed his fairing bolts to have a light gold color.
You may want to try that too.

Good call on the colour :thumbup:
Are you keeping it plain white or adding graphics?

i think i'm gonna leave it the way it is, so it's "pure" lol

i striped the bike down and sent the parts to a local paint guy. not sure what the paint code is but it's like the ducati pearl white except a little brighter.

i know i shouldn't ride it but i can't help myself lol. i think the issue is more complicated because i can't even lock my steering now. weird.
