Just repainted the topbox to match in with the bike (I am not very good with spray painting  >:() )

That may be true, and only you could pick up your errors, but to us, it looks the bees knees   :thumbs

For anyone looking for an aftermarket top box, I think the Shad should be on your list.

That's professional   looking ++

Looks like she is a "coffee" bike at the moment, with all the exciting extra's removed  :think1

 :rofl good one,  also added an led light to light up the left side where the computer switches are, check out the link and at around 1.03 you will see what I mean from the link below.  It is not my video by the way.

That's a clever solution to the very real problem of finding the right zone to push when you want to zero the trip meter during a ride.  I do it when the low level starts flashing because the bike's countdown computer loses the plot when you turn the ignition off and back on.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Looks like a perfect colour match in the pic.  Glossy, too.  Can only envy the lack of orange peel effect that I get.
