Carbon Fender = Sex ..................................you naughty naughty boy Jay  :mfr_lol:


Not sure about the shade of green but like the idea of using a colour to highlight a styling feature.  I did wonder if a deep lush black pearl bike with gold wheels / Swedish underwear  (gold) / gold high lights ie the fins would look good or a bit tacky ?

I'm now going to spend the rest of the week ends quality time day dreaming of colour combinations Jay  :mfr_lol:

That green is a very harsh contrast with the black, not sure about it personally but I do like the carbon fender.

You're teasing us Jay.............We need to see all the body work on. That sexy mini screen lower bars and rear sets  :mfr_lol:

Have to say that when you were showing us the panel work on its own was not taken by the colour mix BUT now its living on the bike I'm hungry to see it finished as I think its going to look one bad ass bike  :yes:

I love all the different colours, but it would piss me off having to get it changed.. I would rather have a bike for each one..

Oh a garage full of GTR's.. Now I have gone to heaven...  :banana: :banana: :mfr_lol:

ZG.. I think you should get a bike for each colour  :yes:

But if I had multiple GTR's for every set of bodywork then I'd have to put Ohlins, Corbin, etc, etc, etc on em all too D.  :undecided:

Looking good zg, nice one. Just a thought, do you have to re register your bike with every colour change or isn't it like that in the States?

Nope, color change doesn't mean anything regarding registration, just the vin # and plate #.

She's all done and back home!  :clap:

I can't for the life of me get this neon green to show well in crappy phone pics though, sorry but this is all you get for now, I'll try to figure out a setting on a real camera to get it to show the true color... You'll have to just trust me that it is freakin neon glow, these pics make it seem much more washed out and docile than it is in person!!

How much does it cost you to get someone to swap all the bits over, every time you decide to have a change?
