A few very nice additions there!

Not keen on the rear sets but the Mercury more than makes up for it!

More info on the hugger and exhaust please

Psychosomatic88, What do you want to know ?. The carbon hugger/chainguard i bought from japan through yahoo auctions. I have a japanese friend who buys me the stuff and ships it to me, Much cheaper than okshon. The make of it though i am not sure. Regarding the exhaust just pm me with questions, It's not quite as loud as my MHP SP1 system i had but it does sound fabulous and is built just as well as the MHP.

Looks like a Coerce, but a bit hard to tell from the pics.

Nice bike, plenty of bling happening!

The clutch lever is for a cbr600 f4i and the brake lever is for a 2004 yamaha R1.
