Stripes were a massive pain in the **** to fit, took much time faffing around with a tape measure and a heat gun. Wasnt too sure about them, but they were only a tenner so I thought might as well. Very pleased with how they have turned out in the end.
The tail tidy is so much better than the standard shovel :) just need to adjust where the number plate sits.
Yes, I like the look of that.

Where did you get the stripes from as they look like the ones that came on the faired pointys.

Just stuck automotive vinyl in google then rung up a few for some quotes. Bought 2m (only just enough!) of 5mm pin stripes with an 80mm centre with 5mm gaps. Wouldn't recommend where I got them from, took 3 and a bit weeks to arrive after promising 4days for delivery.
Very nice looks great on a red bike ;)

Best £10 mod I have seen on any bike - looks bloody good.

Was going to do the belly pan, but I had doubts as to how well the pinstripes would survive so close behind the front wheel.

Cheers, I went one better and had a celebratory takeaway. :D
That does indeed look excellent and I bet the convex sections were a nightmare!

They were indeed! Front mudguard was the worst, took ages, and a lot of swearing. It made it more difficult that the backing sheet wasn't flexible enough so I had to fit the centre section and pin stripes separately.

Did it come with the instructions? If you follow those its not difficult. Just make sure you read through them and take your time.
