nice one.
thats the colour id have if i got a faired version. love the rims to.

Nice

Very tidy shape.

Lawns well kept as well.

Very nice mate.

Thanks gents, quality of the rim polishing thanks to the advice I received from Gus.

Considering a belly pan to finish her off, any thoughts/advice on style or supplier appreciated.

Neat .

Nice one Pops. Exactly the same model as mine except I have a Staintune can and rims are still black. What other mods have you done?

Not much in the way of upgrades, just tidied/detailed her since purchase back in Nov 2010 at 23000 k's.

Polished the rims, new carbon fibre look brake & clutch levers off ebay, new PR2's from Jake Wilson, (fitted by me) and full major service & tune by Neil Anderson.

Very impressed with bikes performance & riding position compared to my previous rides. Taking her up for track day at the end of Sept so should get to give me & the bandit a good workout.

How hard was it to fit tyres .I did it once and had a hard time .?

Hi Gus

Worst part was breaking the bead, a mate had a large truck type bead breaker (long bar & sliding weight) & I used plenty of WD40 in the end on the rear tyre. The fitting was easy after that. I found a lot of tips on u tube & one tip which I considered was using the car to drive over the bike tyre to break the bead.

I will do it again myself but I will make up a decent bead breaker before hand that will be attached to the wall of my garage.

I recommend having a go yourself for the $ saving on the fitting & tyres & very happy with the Jake Wilson mob.

Update, belly pan painted.

That belly pan finishes it off POP

looks like it should be put on there from the start ...............very neat & finishes the bike off Pops

Great result PoPs. Which brand is it ? and did you paint it yourself or have it done professionally ? One small suggestion. Get yourself a headlight protector. I hear that a new headlight is around $800. Ouch.

Hi Hammy, brand is Simpson Detour (from the UK) for about $180.

I ended up having it painted professionally ($250) as I couldn't locate the paint even though I had the code. For reference the colour should anyone need it is 'Candy Sanoma Red' code (YHL). The spray painter had to mix the paint to match by trial & error & that took a couple of goes but very happy with the finished product.

What brand & from where for the headlight protector?

spray painter i went to pops put a camera thingy on the tank to help get the colour, blue pearl i think mine is

Try these next time boys ColorRite YHL Candy Sonoma Red

Mine is the AMHP model. Very neat. Easy to remove for cleaning. Any good bike shop should be able to help. Or check on-line.
