Nice job and i like the "floating" front mudguard too. I like the wheels too.
Did you intentionally put the front wheel on "backwards" as the spokes go the opposite direction compared to the rear. Not that it amounts to much it just looks different.

Nice touches here, Grzegorz!  Now didn't I tell ya in Poland that your 200 2 BA would look even better with those triple-trees(yokes) painted black too, dude?!!!   (...and now all ya need is a set of those black Hagon covered shocks on that beautiful baby o' yours and you'll be done!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Btw Grzegorz, I also have that very same Drag Specialties tachometer attached to my handlebars and with the Speedy's risers like you have there. However, I've found there's sufficient room between the top of tank console and the handlebars to attached that tach so that its bracket sits "upside-down" and thus sits lower and below the line of the handlebars and so that it doesn't block your line-of-sight to the speedometer.
You might try experimenting with this and seeing if you'd end up liking this arrangement better, also.

Well then Greg ol' boy, second of all, then why the hell did you post THAT video about your 2002 Bonnie America in THIS thread of yours??????????????? 
(...and third of all dude, I gotta ask: Does this little ribbing I've always given to you about the model year of your BA REALLY piss you off or have you just been fakin' this whole pissed-off act of yours here all this time?...OR, is this just some kinda "Polish Thing" of which I'm too dense and much too American to understand??????????)

How did you black the motor cases?
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

ZeroRust offers a semi-gloss Black that dries extremely hard and so far has tolerated (10,000 miles) engine heat well with no degradation. Incidentally, it's the closest match to Triumph s Black Powdercoat, I have found so far, as well.
