I don't know if she loves you or hates you.

But we can't possibly help until we can see what we are talking about. What exactly do you mean by bling? Don't know if its cool to bling a bevel.

Do Vee Two still do this stuff? I seem to recall they were changing their business structure ... Monsta?

Gowies:

or Road & Race:

... both kinda local, but it depends on what you are after.

Don't get love or hate question 
More specifically, rear sets (similar to 900ss), White guages and custom dash (same as pic of the day), Single seat and cowl, Paint, and so on.
Lots of pics for inspiration but hard to find info on bits. I know Gowies  and Road and Race have most of it but always keen for new ideas and products.
Its a good start, Its already got Conti pipes, Cross drilled brakes, 40mm Dellortos and Cams. I will post some pics soon.

It was some gift that's for sure. I was more concerned about what 'project bike' meant ... in that was it a basket of bits that could torment your life for years/decades to come.

Regardless, she obviously doesn't mind that you continue to spend more time messin' about in the garage or 'researching'. Kinda like our neighbour who mows the lawn 3 times a week ... I always think he is in the proverbial 'dog-house'.

Yesterday there was a nice 750ss square case up at PITS ... you don't see that many out and about.

Best of luck with it.

Project bike being something to tinker with, I have spent a couple of hours riding around on it. It rides great, needs shocks and fork rebuild but very strong engine. I have to say I am very impressed so far, should be fun.

ive seen one with a windowed bevel cover dunno if its std or not but was kinda cool. paint it in era correct silver glitter paint!! that'l bling.

did a quick google images search and found this for inspiration!! damn its perfect.and he revs it to 12000rpm!!  quote of the month for me “The motorcycle’s handling is so stable that ineptitude becomes mere mediocrity, mediocrity in turn graduates to competence and competence blossoms into sheer corner-swooping finesse.”

Paint is a home job, the shocks and forks are shagged, seat torn, nothing major really just looking forward to tinkering with it thats all.

And Yes, I will be getting one of those clear bevel covers

I love the sound of the original Conti's. I've heard a few bevelheads with other makes of pipe, 2 into 1 etc but the Conti's sound the best, real crisp and clean. Also love the blueing of the pipes where they come out of the heads. Great pressie.
