I have a couple of things left to do. But im getting there... slowly :biggrin
 
I quite like the Jester shape but a bit too much going on in the paint and the stickers department for my taste. What are you doing exhaust-wise?

Hi Rob, i have a short, carbon fibre, hexagonal akrapovic going on. Hopefully next week, will upload some pics when its on. Or i have the option of a titianium, oval akrapovic. It would need shortening a little though as it looks far too long for the seat unit.


Thanks for all the comments Matt
 



Good question!...

I have always had GSXR'S or Ninja's, but i wanted something different. I had an accident damaged 2000 RSVR when i was 22. And from what i remember it handled like it was on rails, had awesome brakes and liked a wheelie:biggrin! But had a flat top end and was a little heavy ( in comparison to jap 1000's). Im now 26 and didnt want massive top end rush, but good useable torque. Also having ridden a few more years, and becoming a better rider, i now appreciate brakes and handling can make you a faster rider rather than having excessive bhp.. hence the rsv. But also being only 26 i wanted something that looked modern that didnt require finance or a re-mortgage. So the rsv doubled with Gez's kit fitted the bill.

Something else with the rsv is all the friendly knowledgable people you meet. Since i have owned it, i have met and dealt with far more helpful and friendly people through this forum, than in my other short years of motorcycling.

So keep the comments coming as i value all of your opinions :thumbup

I like the look of the kit....can't get the feel for the paint. The kit should also be a good option when buying a ' crashed ' bike. Which makes me think....
 
Good on you skipper boring old world and all that personally I prefer the front to the back as the colours are less busy and flow better with the shape. Plus riding a Falco I'd be lost withouty boot space. Always good to see someone enjoying their bike especially while they can. Just wait till the ****** end of life restricts your spending lol you go for it and enjoy
 
The only bit I can't get away with is the front mud guard, just looks a bit too bulky.
Other than that it's got sharp lines.
 
X2 with the front mud guard not looking so great, Not a huge fan of the paint work either, But I think the bike actually looks VERY smart, I love the seat unit and am very tempted myself to get the credit card out :)
