Tail tidy for the gixxer!!!

[quote=Uber;1594012]It had to be done, first on the list was to get rid of the hunk of plastic on the rear. Why do they waste money on sculpting something so unnecessary when a neat little bracket does the job just aswell and looks 1000 times better. Anyway job done.

It's the law apparantly, the numberplate has to extend past the rear wheel or something silly like that.. Looks 1000x times better now, nice one

Very nice job too. Looks real sweet, but now it's an MOT failure...









as there is no red rear reflector. you can get a small stick on one and place it on your number plate. just an idea

Miles better

Looks cool!

+1 How could they make a bike go from looking nice to OMFG what a dog.

Ohh, hand bags...

"Chicken Strips" are the extra grip you have when you go into a corner and think... Ohhh Fook, don't look at the wall keep on the road,
, don't look at the wall keep on the road.. .....thank fook for that... now a left hander... don't look at the wall keep on the road...

and so on...

It's not a willy showing contest.so I'll put mine away..

enjoy riding.

Your always the first to mention the chicken strips. First pic was the day I got it and the second there isn't any. I've got some on the front but I think a track day would be the only way of sorting those out. About time you showed us your chicken strips if your the Greek god of them!

Here are mine. PR2 tyres. Shows sports tyres are pointless on the road now adays.

Back right.


Back left.


Front right. (left is the same tbh).




But tbh chicken strips dont matter... As long as you have fun, thats what counts imo.

How are you enjoying the 600?

[Rich]

Well got to hand it to you Greek I'm strugging to take the Mick . As for the 600 I'm loving it still getting used to the power delivery but I'm getting there. It's like a rocket when u get it right I'm still trying to remember that reving the pants off it is ok. It's so loud even at half it's revs sounds like your thrashing it everywhere but that's what it's designed for. Given a few chavs on scooters a fright it's brill.
