Nice.
I'm dying to see if those radiator ends fit the earlier bikes.
Like the black pillion mounts too.
No comment on the 44 gallon drum hanging off the RH side

Yes, that is nice.

jeez, mine clearly needs a scub - can't believe how clean and shiny that thing is.
But I'll leave the panniers to you - they look a bit too much like they belong to someone delivering mailouts !.
Enjoy.

Does it come any blacker?


Have you considered a carbon exhaust?

Do i see white lettering on the tyres, someones into detail arnt we Grumpy .

Nice bike, I like the white lettering, I've done to my bike to. but not to sure about that screen.

mate,what a machine
i still have those panniers in my shed.
do they hook up under the seat without scratching the paint?
i used to do the white the tyres on my 900R
too but now i`m too bloody old.
red stripes look good too

I keep seeing them polished .

Lovely. Where did you get that screen from? I think that would work a treat on mine.

Nice

hey holdenman,where did you get that sticker?
i want 1

just google funny motorcycle warning stickers in the images section.

There is a couple of ebay sellers that have them if you want them for your bike

I have seen them painted mat black. I think I like the shape of the GSX ones.

Grump, what paint did you use on the pillion brackets?

thank you one and all......posted this in responce to Gus wanting photos...took photos 2 weeks ago then computer chucked a wobbley ....I know they are in the wrong section but had a few problems..actually a large domestic !! SWMBO swore at me and stormed off to bed......would not talk to me this morning but was by lunch time when she said "pass the salt" so all ok.. answers to questions 1) yes..sorry its dirty..had done 80k at that stage..2) was considering Gus's carbon paint......wait and see..3) white lettering = wet day..4) Gearsack goes over seat..100mph tape over paint..remove sticky stuff with orange oil...5) red stripes = fast.. 6) screen is MRA $130 ??.. 7) pillion brackets = standard.. ...........................Grumpy

And i appreciate it to. You are already on page two so everyone else has enjoyed it as well.

Whats left to paint .I'm calling chain guard .?

no ..was looking at /likeing your immitation "carbon fibre" paint job on your exhaust...................Grumpy

Thats a lot of paint. I'm not sure how it will last. I'm sure i could scratch it off with my fingernail if i wanted because there is not much bond to the stainless steel. Personally i think it would be
more trouble than its worth on such a big can .At least if you didnt like it no harm done just take it off. I used VHT high temp wrinkle plus .
$18 a can unless you live in the states (USA )where it is $9 .

thanks Gus ...thought that may be the case....will wait for your future posts as to lasting wear......at the moment bike is new and I don't like changing things while still under warrenty (just to be sure...can save a lot of hassles)................Grumpy

Did they come?

Was told Monday now. Not


I will put them on for a bit, however I am buying them to make a carbon mould. They'd look better in CF. I am about to start playing with making my own carbon parts, Just small stuff.

That sounds interesting. I glassed some c\f over the anodized covers but it wouldnt bond to it.Never progressed any further with it.
When i left they were playing around with" Sun Cure Epoxy" .Plenty of time to lay it up then just take it out side.
Benefit being no waist .
