Gladius meets Yoshimura

[Danno]

Yoshi looks great Ken. I'm still debating throwing the RS3 on mine.

I wash my bike once a year, whether or not it needs it.

yeah I do, thanks. I'm truly amazed that a few riders here haven't cleaned their bikes for weeks or longer. I'm NOT going to mention any names of course!

you can't even embed the pictures? honestly, how lazy are you (or me for complaining about it...)? lol



looks good. i agree with schleppy, PC the heel-guards -- black would be nice, but i think a dark pewter or gunmetal grey would look nice as well (similar to the engine case, or maybe a little darker). and i bet everyone that yanks them to PC them has them done black.

quick and dirty tweakage...

it would probably look better a little darker, but i kinda like how it looks when it basically matches the engine color

Hey Spicy, That looks pretty good but you should also do a quick and dirty tweakage in black and then one in the blue color of the frame.

I think that if you carry the blue of the frame down into the rear sets that would look pretty good too!

definitley get those bitches PC'ed though.

Looks good! But did you start the bike without any muffler attached? These lower CC bikes with a cat many times don't need any muffler at all. The Cat quiets things down enough by itself.

If it sounds OK without the muffler, you could get rid of the entire side piece as it only has the mounting for the rear passenger (as long as you don't ride two up) and the riders brake and footpeg. That would really clean up that bike.

[Kenn157]

Cant get rid of the "side piece" see how the foot rest is actually attached?

Hoping to get ride of the CAT sometimes next season.

[Royb]

I bet a new side piece could be fabricated to simply hold the footpeg and the brake lever. Or use of a bandsaw could fix that right up............

[Chippertheripper]

Hawt and sexy... I won't say feminine this time. I like it.

[Kenn157]

powder coating was mentioned. I do need passenger foot pegs... Otherwise they'd be gone.

When ever you can

[spicy]

to be honest, i like it better gunmetal vs. full black. i also wasn't sure how matte/metallic you wanted it, since i'm not too good at matching the way P/Ced metal looks vs. anodized metal while tweaking images...

[Kenn157]

wow! Maybe the grab handles in Triton Blue. nice! Thank you Spicy!

[Kenn157]

Just dropped off the bike to have the pieces powered. Black for the those ugly pieces and.... blue for the grab handles.
