Yep, sure did. Makes a huge difference in road visibility at night and I've been told that I'm also more visible during the day compared to the other riders I usually go out with...so an overall increase in my personal safety. I also haven't been flashed at by other drivers even when riding down dark two-way backroads and highways so I assume the brightness isn't as blinding as one might assume. I guess with all the other HID vehicles out there, people have learned not to stare directly into the light...kinda like how common sense tells us we shouldn't stare directly at the sun.

Argh my eyes. Proof that the Swiss have no taste, or Suzuki need to get some new designers in!

Probably gonna wait till next season to change up the exhaust and add frame & swingarm sliders (apparently Motosliders still doesn't have one designed for full-fairing bodies yet)...then continue with more mods from there.

Well done on sourcing the cowl, the bike looks loads better with it, although I must admit, I much prefer my black K8. The smoke indicator covers look good, I might have to get myself some of those puppies!

Re: crash bungs, I opted for R&G bungs in the end as they fit perfectly with the fully faired bike.

Make it blacker That's the only thing that robs it of impact, it needs black forks and a black seat and a dark exhaust. I love the white, just wish they'd finished the job!

Nope, the red seats are the same as the black seats other than the colour. You can get the red seat in lowered form as well as the black.
