Looks good. Each time I see a 800 I wonder about trading in the 1200.

Very nice paint job!
Also, interesting top box? Haven't seen one of those before, what is it?

Teng the top box is from a BMW R1150GS Adventure grafted onto a standard base plate they are a fantastic box very strong and holds quite a lot, my Arai tour X goes in it bo problems, they do come up for sale here, thats where I got it, I was very lucky this one is Brand new, cost me £240 you can still buy them from BMW though

Normal white Primer, Halfords Appliance White, proberbly the whitest white you can get, then standard laquer, rubbed down with a 800 grade scotch pad, painted flatted with 1200 grade wet and dry, laquered then flatted again with 1200 W+D then 2000 W+D then polished with t-cut then autoglym super resin then with really fine polish used for plastic which is as runny as wated but shines the nuts, ive just been out and given it a final polish by hand and the shine is really deep well happy with the finish, a big 
I thought you already had the best colour, now I'm not so sure?

Wow good job ... wish I had proper facilities to do the same, will do mine again one day ... I guess you like the look of 2010 white model, if I were you, I would have rather done some custom.
