Default Bike mods - thanks to Amuli and Simple Simon.

Still a WIP, but thanks to Amuli for his old Hamicad and Simple Simon for the Seat Cowl, Hugger and Screen, my bike is now like this.....

Hugger (and a little bit of the Tailtidy)



The new dark screen


Tailtidy and prepped side panel for respray.



Tail without grab rail with the prepped fillers from the seat cowl kit, rear filler panel prepped for respray

Red and black gloves to match! You're as much as a tart as me!

Only thing, that hugger is simply not big enough, it ought to cover at least 50% of the wheel, based on current style trends.

UPDATE !!!

Got to practice my spraypainting at the weekend, building up to the big side panel respray.

Was looking for a large lump of plastic to test-spray, as just doing the filler pieces and the back top section of the fairing seemed not enough.

Lo and behold I "find" the rest of the seat cowl, so after a bit of wet-n-dry action, I got it prepped and sprayed.

So the back end of the bike is now a lot like this



Halfords Satin Black, unlaquered for those curious.

As for the jacket - it was part of my US haul and is a mesh fabric - Icon call it their "Fighter Mesh". Jacket is a Timax2 Mesh one - also available in Nylon and Leather

Cost me $240 US - so about £120 - well before 40% shipping and tax.....
