hhhhmmmm that will look tasty, it will make you look like a pimp but it will still look very nice

[MuD]

'The Honda NSR beast! Arrrrrrrrrr!-

Other than that it looks nice!

If it was my bike I'd really just settle for those indicators and the tank pad but it isn't so...

BTW is there any way a normal person can tell a difference between your silver valve caps and the stock ones- i mean, aren't they all silver?

I'm not sure on one of them.
aren't the valve caps a bi like tire flies and a bit dodgy on the actual valves themselves.

Number plate might get you pulled. but blah. Who cares. lol.

IT LOOKS LIKE A TARTS HANDBAG
That is bad IMO

My idea of 'modding', to me means improving the bike... to start with people actually did things that /did/ improve bikes.
Then people realised that they could make their bikes look like these good bikes, but without actually making them better bikes, just by sticking shiny bits on them.

It means that it will actually look very similar to many other bikes in the UK... IMO buying ready made bolt on shiny bits doesn't make your bike individual.
Having owned a blue zx6r with a /few/ shiny bits... I noticed that infact the untouched ones were less common.


If you want to do something 'individual' how about either making your bike better one way or another performance wise, or you could spend the money on some sort of advanced riding skills.. and look different because you can actually ride your bike.

it will look shit with the mods on, i agree with smaller and flush mount indicators, but LED strips look arse, small plate isn't worth it, particularly on a 125.

special valve cpas or tax disc holder don't do anything special, and being a black NSR it'd look best with a black tax disc holder.

[scratcherspar...]

I'm all for modding but hey draw a line. Those neon light thingies are almost as bad as those firefly tire caps that glow in the dark as you wheels spin.

Funny story there actually. A friend of mine actually flagged down some fool on a BUSA with those things on and said mate your wheels are on fire. LMFAO:)

Sorry.. I do tend to be pretty anti-tart....

As I've mentioned elsewhere... loads of people on here laugh at boy racers when they stick big bits of plastic all over their bike to make them look faster... IMO tarting up a bike is exactly the same thing.

I can to some degree understand wanting a 'nice bike' ... but when it comes down to you spending loads more on bits from your bike than say clothes... you have to wonder if it's worth it to impress mostly complete strangers that will probably never see you again.

[one1895]

i think its more for self esteem n feelin good rather than impressin people
