My Big(ish) Bike Project! *PICTURES!*

That looks brilliant. Good to see someone doing their own thing

Just needs a seat cowl to finish it off

I've already got a seat cowl in YHJ, but it's ever so slightly lighter shaded than the paint on the rest of the bike, so I decided against it.

And thank you very much for the compliment

Plus - the Mrs usually on the back so a seat cowl would get annoying to take on/off !

good job sir

I was looking into vinyl stuff as well, did you just go to a place and ask advice?

Not at all, I did it all myself. Very easy!

Really like it! Stands out from the crowd

Looks good!!!

The vinyl does give it the S1000RR look

Nice job dude! How do the lights perform? I'm one who doesn't think they're chavvy and actually look pretty cool. But how's the light output compared to the stocks?
Ps, have you seen the mod to make the sidelights work as indicators? Could get rid of the stock fronts and do that? Or mini indis

i like it a lot. was thinking of doing the retro fit projector lights but now i'm hooked on the idea.

Yea I know of that mod, but I don't think it's the best thing if you're heading towards oncoming traffic, not the safest option.

And to be completely honest, I really like the stock indicators. I think a lot of moded side indis look fat too small and out of proportion for the rest of the bike - my opinion.

I had to get rid of the original mudguard cuz it was OGLY, but I kept the original indis (and had to modify their fittings a tiny bit) in order for them to fit nice and securely into the R&G tail tidy.

edit: Oh yes, and to answer you question about the performance of the projectors compared to the original lights;

Apart from them looking pretty darn awesome, they are also very bright and give a really nice consistant colour. Definitely much better than the standard H4 bulb.
