I fell in love with the boxer four, but on the same time I found the bike ugly. I have just bought the bike and there is a lot of work to be done. Most of all I will do with your help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the club. I know what you mean... When I got my bike, my wife said it was the ugliest bike she had ever seen. It was a full dresser with purple paint with metal flake. It was so ugly, just looking at it in the light would make you throw up in your mouth a little bit. But I told her, I could paint the ugly off of it, and I did... You can too.
