Yes. Very pretty. I quite like that it looks a bit different and unusual.
That throttle cable looks waaaayyyyy long. Is it in for a tidy up? Or is that just the way it looks in that photo?
And just a comment, not a criticism .... Certain individuals who may be overweight, unfit or just plain lazy old buggers, like me for example, tend to make good use of the seat riding between sections, particularly in the second half of a days riding. On a bike like that I reckon I'd get a sore backside pretty quickly.

Yes the throttle cable has been shortened by 250mm, as for the seat I was just looking for a different look, plus a black seat with the black paint might have been abit much.
