Default As if modding cars wasn't enough for me...

...i'm in the middle of modding my bike

I took a tumble almost 18 months ago and the fairings were mostly ok due to the crash bung but the bike had a few scratches letting it down.

Anyways i found a super cool set of fairings on ebay from china that were CHEAP and are good enough quality

The fairings fit up well but left me needing my tank and seat hump painted a different colour.

i've also bought,
chain, bigger rear sprocket for acceleration and braided lines.

I'm getting my can cut down for a cleaner and more up to date look and it also removes a scuff frokm when she was down

next thing i need is my wheels painted and some rim tape slapped on to complete the "rep" that i'm doing.

i also fancy powder coating my rearsets, carbon frame and engine covers and fancy levers.


Am i fucking mad?!?! where does it all stop?!

oh then i need tyres and tax lol

So not only have you failed to post pics, you've also posted a resto thread in the wrong section?

this thread was to point out i'm mad for modding a bike which is normally left well alone. Usually used and abused and never altered too far from original!

Should have saved yourself some typing and done it all together .

As Dave would have said if he was still around, PICS OR STFU .

Your bike hasn't even got the same engine configuration, let alone the capacity . You should copy one that is at least the same .

A bit like all the R1s going around with Rossi paint schemes on .

No, I'm just enjoying taking the piss out of you, as I have noticed that you like to do the same out of me at every opportunity . Looks like we have another Tony on our hands though .
