No - the first two are indigo gloss blue , the current build is pearlescent night blue . You can really see the difference in the flesh , the pearlescent night blue is much darker
When I get it finished I'll get a shot of all three together taken outside in daylight so you can see the difference ;-)
Radiator and hoses , rubber foo peg inserts , brake lever , fuel tank with new feed pipe (as old one snapped off as they go very brittle) all on
Fuel lines , AF-XIED , rear light , seat release , inner mudguard , number plate mount , air box , handlebar controls , grips and hand guards
New clutch and throttle cable , K&N air filter and mirrors
Starting to look like a bike now

It's Alive !!
Bike up and running and purring like a kitten
Got the clocks on and the wiring completed , Akrapovic end can , bash plate and chain fitted
Bled the brakes and filled it up with oil & water - fired straight up no problems
Plugged is the GS-911 and no fault codes present , did a full Adaptions re-set
Ran the bike up to temperature and allowed fan to kick in
Checked all levels and checked for leaks - all OK
Test fitted seat
Its now a 4 week wait to get the painted panels back so I can get it 100% finished

Looking great 
Superb.
I can't remember now, did you strip the engine and if so how was it?
I did partially strip the engine ; the clutch cover , water pump housing and generator cover were all removed , powder coated and new bearings and seals fitted . I had to fit a new clutch friction plate and springs (plates were fine as they had been recently renewed) . The valve clearances were all out of tolerance so camshafts out and all new shims fitted . Other than that the engine was fine - probably because it had been serviced every 3000 miles
For all new parts I use Williams in Manchester , for used parts it’s the usual eBay suspects

and thats with the standard baffle replaced with a quieter road baffleSounds pretty raunchy!
Just test fitted one of the Rear Brake Disc Guards that I had made on the XCountry and it's a perfect fit
I'll get the rest packaged up and sent off tomorrow to those who bought them

Just ordered a set of foot peg lowering brackets from Erik at Hot Rod Welding
Make for a much more relaxed riding position - I have them fitted to all of my G650X bikes
