Like the rocker cover. That's it I'm afraid. Why not colour code with blue leads? Just my own opinion but red and lady boy blue don't go.

I love how that small lump produces so much power! I miss it

Bizzarre. Why go to all that effort to add red everything, and then remove the big red bit in the middle?

Sorry bud, but I think the red pipes draw attention to the parts you don't want to draw attention too, if that makes any sense?!

Rocker cover looks nice, I would of also left the spark plug cover black.

It wouldn't be my personal choice to gild the lily in that manner.

It is almost union jack

Each to their own though
