    Sorry havent messaged in a while guys, anyway...

    I think the mirrors maybe the other way round but when i was putting them on i thought that they just looked a bit better that way. As has already been said it does narrow it down a bit too.

    The exhaust is a mivv yes and it sounds incredible with the baffle out!

    I will be doing some small updates visually over winter. I have seen the samco hoses and they do look good. I have some anodised mirror blanking plugs and a couple of bits here and there. What i really want to do is get a carbon battery cover and carbon rear light surround and i have seen a rizoma fuel cap that looks pretty good. Apart from a few anodised bolts here and there im scratching my head.

    Any suggestions welcome,
    Andy.

    Also you should all be glad to know that the porch is now decorated and the drive has been weeded.

    Suggestions - it's only my opinion so by all means tell me to bog-off (if you don't somebody else will be along soon enough :)) ...... but I've always hated the look of that add-on perspex screen, fetch it off and the bike will look much better (less is more).
    Trouble is you'll be left with 3 holes to blank off which won't look the best, may be find a replacement cowl off fleabay or even go carbon fibre?

    Yeah i know, to be honest i dont like the screen that much either. The only reason its still on is because of the three holes to cover up. It will be off soon though when i get hold of a new one!

    Only problem is, even from ebay theyre fairly pricey just for the sake of covering up three holes. Just have to keep my eyes peeled.

    They were on the bike already but there are no brand markings or anything so have to assume theyre ebay specials. No problems with them though, they work ok.

    Take the screen off and live with the holes for now, even the old Fireblade had holes in the fairing :)

    Well there you go. The flyscreen is gone! Just looks better doesnt it?

    All nice and clean now, in the garage for a couple of weeks.
    Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everybody had a good one. Cheers!
