Talking My Beloved

Hi all!

Thought you might like to see the latest incarnation of my lovely curvey now that the loadbearing stickers have been removed!

Spruced up a bit mostly with my new link pipe and can, I have the same one as Wideboy, and have had an absolute nightmare with the pipe - the company are awful and there are are rust spots after a WEEK on it, so pm me if you want to know how NOT to do this!

The can is fantastic though, I've even left the baffle in it sounds so good - Pipeworx come highly recommended!

Have a new undertray, tail tidy, spruced lowers and mirrors, and hit it hard with the T Cut!

I tried a Powerbronze seat cowl but it really didn't fit so I sent it back, like the one I have now anyway.




(Ps can anyone tell me why my pics are tiny?! They are huge on my PC but go to 61kb every time I upload them!?)

You need to fashion some sort of bracket for your exhaust hanger to sit on(perhaps), just to drop the angle a little. I like to see parallel can under rear plastic, it be as high as mine.But then I'm a picky booger.

Apart from that, looking good.

PS wheres the rear Indies??

I love curvys, but aren't a fan of the lower fairings I'm afraid. And I think the tinted screen looks a little "heavy" with the black bodywork.

That said, it's your bike, and if you love it then that's fine by me!

Hurrah thanks for all your comments!

Thinking about it you're right about the angle of the exhuast - I think I need another few happy hours in the workshop tinkering with that!

Also the indicators are tiny and tucked up behind the plate, useless but they are there!

Cheers guys! I still love it!
