Winter refurb completed .... well nearly
Here's the before the refurb started
Attachment 4002 And here it is today. I've still got a few things to do, but at least I can ride it now. Attachment 4005 swingarm, torque arm, pillion footrest hangers and sidestand have been powder coated crome silver. Undertray was black, but now colour matched Attachment 4004 New rear brake line & a few stainless nuts and bolts, incl the torque arm front and rear. Attachment 4003 It isn't meant to be a concours winner so don't look too closely!!!! Next project is a Gixxer front end and tidying everything else that now looks cack, including the wheels

Looks tidy. What was wrong with it to start with? Looked tidy already!

It had suffered a bit by living outside in the hands of the prvious owner, but it kept me busy during the boring winter months

Re: Winter refurb completed .... well nearly
I'm gonna be honest and say I dont like the bellypan
BUT it is a very very tidy bike I have some work to do on my bike (repainting the forks and the torque bracing arm for the rear caliper). I would ideally like to get my wheels re-done, but I don't have alot of time for that. Nice high-level exhaust! |

Belly pan covers a multitude of sins and I wouldn't want a full fairing, as it covers the engine up.

I agree with Alpine, the belly pan is a bit too much for me but other wise NIIIIICEEE I really like them in silver.

It might be the angle you're looking at the beely pan, that makes it look a bit OTT. looks good (to my eyes) from every angle
