Updated pics of my work in progress. NHK steering Damper, Probolt Titanium, Stainless and Alloy Fasteners, Probolt Bar Ends, Tyga Carbon Air Tubes & Fairing Infills, HRC Rear reservoir. Better quality pics to come. Putting the bike away now for the winter as just crashed on my cg125 (Icy country lane)

lovely example there. lots of lovely jubblies on it :D .

you tempted to get your wheels powdercoated white by any chance?

threw on my VFR white wheels onto my RVF for the winter, and it really sets off the bike, more so i would think with yours because of the work on it, and your lovely carbon bits would certainly stand out more :)

i love the look of this bike and the fact it resembles the big bike so much but the only thing i would change on it ATM is the way the cans hang a little low on it.please don't take that the wrong way.

i seem to remember someone else on here had the merc stack and modded the can hanger so it pulled the cans up to make them high level and i think thats the way there where intended to be,you could try a can hanger from rick to see if that worked or modd you're own.

I know what you mean as i would like them a bit higher myself to be more inline with the tail unit. The only thing that is stopping me doing it is the loss of the carbon exhaust hangar. But now you have mentioned it i have to sort it :D

If you could that would be great. How much did you pay for it.
