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

Looking good Mark ,as for the techniques Richard is referring to you can look them up in the tutorials section there lots of good info in several threads on the subjects.
