Nice, I like the Black/red of the ZZR1400, harks back nicely to the GPZ900R

Lovely jobs both of them. It sometimes seems a bit of a shame to cover all that lovely metallic finishes with the body work.

If you carefully apply a wash to the chain then a light metalic dry brushing it would really come to life. Don't try it though if you are not sure and experiment with a piece of scrap first.

Thanks richard but I don't no what all this wash and dry brushing is
