Only thing that I think needs changing the is the exhaust link pipe. At the moment the can's still too low. If you got hold of an 03-06 link pipe it would fit much better. Thumbs Up


I actually like it like that... I think it looks good. I think it would be better though If I got a nicer can strap/hanger!

Nah....

Getting new wheels and getting them powdercoated gold so will tie in nicely.

I'm taking the bike off the road next month and getting the tail unit,forks,rear shock,engine cases sprayed/powder coated. I'm also gonna fit the new carbon fiber tank protector and may even polish my swingarm and other things...

sweet man, can't wait to see the pics!

Jake: Don't worry.... annodized bars is as far as I go with annodized stuff.... that and I have Brake hose P-clips too.

I'd love some USDs, but will probably never bother. I'll have a zx-6r one day anyway.... I'll save the major mods for that Cool

It slips straight on pretty much, it's just the modding of the side panels, the modding of the tail for the seat to fit and customising a seat lock!

The tail unit itself, non at all! It's a direct fit... it's just getting the original seat to fit which required shaving off the top lip of the tail unit all the way around and then modifying the original side panels to fit.

You have to have the 03-06 undertray too.

I've actually got my old art race can on there now as I got bored of the scorpion's sound and looks..

The art's scorched effect too but with a twin outlet but the finish is battered... so I plan on stubying and mirror polishing it at some point.

I've been planning on getting gold renthals for a while now.... still haven't got round to it though!

My next mod is possibly cbr wheels.

I think black renthals would look the best. I dont think the gold would look right as there is no other gold on the bike.

Gutted for you molotov, always one step behind Razz

I wonder if I'll have my wheels done before you, as I did with the tail!

I'm getting cbr wheels though, so it will be faster than your's Smile

That and it's blue not white!

Blue are the fastest hornets! Twisted Evil

But it's blue and black. Black sucks. Like a black hole. So it slows you down.

White is like thunder. Cool

And CBR wheels? Will hardly make much of a difference!

Bike may certainly be faster. But I'm faster Cool

And only reason you had the tail done before was because I have a lot more things to buy and the frigging NC30 kept breaking! Laughing
