				21 if you do the frame in whatever colour and you match graphics/ seat cover etc then it'll look the part.have a look at what is available,choose what you like and then have the frame coated to suit.when all's said and done  its your ride,have it how you want it.
the blue/purple sounds cool

				how much does it cost to get it powdercoated? i might as well give it a touch up whilst the engine and all is out i guess

				already got some graphics that come with the bike,they are a blue/purple sort of colour(mainly blue) so was going to take them to the powder coaters to try and get the same if i went that way,would prob have to buy a seat cover tho as my seat is a light purple colour and dont think it would match up,is there anywhere else that does some cool graphics for a good price?the ones ive got are the standard ones and would look good but may be tempted into some more for a decent price 

 not really to fussed about spending loads of cash on more graphics would rather spend on the engine 
 
 
There is a local powder coaters where i work,been in to see the bloke who runs it said he will do my frame for £25 if i want a colour he hasnt got in stock i will have to pay extra for the powder but i thought that was a good price,the fram is already stripped tho.

pick your model to see a heap of different fancy looking sticker kits. Be warned that the AR's shroud stickers are a bitch to put on, whereas rear panels and other bits went on fine.
AR attacker model i think. Can't find it on the site for some reason...

				thanks for the help guys 

 will go for the blue frame as it will go with the graphics ive got and the ones i like from the site if a get those so its a win win.As soon as it done i will be posting up some pics,i am also taking pics during the rebuild before and after sort of thing,looks like i will be ordering a new seat cover from lt in the near future.
