Fit a new (clear) double bubble, some super high rearsets.

Spend the money you were going to spend tarting it up on a can of matt black paint, suspension bits, and engine bits.

Then go fast group hunting on your local trackday whilst making a noise like the world's going to end.

If range is an issue for you, replace the damaged tank with a 19L one of the later bikes (that said, I should imagine they fetch a few quid on ebay)

I wouldn;t buy dodgy branded Ebay stuff.


I have HEL lines on my bikes very good quality, plus you can choose all the colours.

They describe the different types of set ups.

Generally speaking people go for 2 line race set up.
