Very impressive. Respect you are doing it yourself.;)

Not quite in the same league as your bike. Loving the work you are having done to your SL. Bought my bike from MR back in April, though I don't have the funds to let them do the work for me, but I do get a lot of satisfaction at tackling the work by myself, be that the build or the website. Looking forward to seeing yours in it's new livery. I'm stuck waiting on more parts at the moment, before I can continue any further, but when this next batch comes in, I will be able to complete 90% of the bike, with just a few small electrical jobs to complete and some tidying up to do, then I will move onto the bodywork. Fitting it into my spare time means I only get to work on it sporadically, but it's gradually starting to look more like a Panigale and less like a parts bin!

Thank you.. but powder coating, anodizing, paint?

It's a special chemical and heat resistant paint. Took an age to get the colour match correct but the finish is superb. You can't anodise the swing arm and powder coating would not give you the same finish or the ability to match the colour as accurately, not to mention it is too thick to achieve the same results as the original paint.
 
Just finished installing the CDT electrical supports. Wiring on the Panigale is possibly the hardest job, as it requires a lot of patience and it's essential you follow the workshop manual to route everything correctly. Pics will be uploaded to the website soon.
 
Admittedly not the most enthralling videos. Just posted 'em up as a stop gap. I have something more professional in the pipeline (ie I'm not going to be filming it) when the bike will be closer to completion.
 
Here is where I am at at present. Most of the mechanical and electrical work is complete, just a few small jobs left, then on to the bodywork. The tank was only fitted to perform a test run of the engine. The paint scheme will go one of two ways, one of which incorporates the fuel tank, in which case it will have to come off again, this time to be drained and stripped before painting.
