More bling. Errr.... I mean functional improvements.

Bronze OZ wheels, CRG shorty levers and some Beowulf rad guards. Finally got the rear disk swapped over for the posh one as well (the fronts have been on for over a year now). Also stuck the tank protector on that was originally destined for the Fazer.

The pattern works, but it's a shame it doesn't follow the lines of the paint.
Image

These are great, unlike the OE levers there's no flex in them at all, all your squeezing goes right into the calipers.
Image

Looks good from the front with them on.
Image

You can just about see the rad guards, I was a bit unsure about wether they'd stand out too much as they're quite a bright gold, but they're nicely hidden and blend in with the forks and calipers.
Image

Sexy skinny wheels.

Any excuse to post another pic, this is what the GSXR side stand does.

I just bought the long version of those levers. Black with the red adjusters aswell, wierd.

Side stand looks mega-stable but stick a cross in the box that reads [x]needs bellypan :smt001

I've got a bellypan in the shed, it's been there for a while as I keep trying to give it to people who promise (Ha-ha!!!) to make a carbon fibre version from it. Two and a half years and countig, maybe I should just give up an stick with a plastic one.
