Default More Mods!

Here is a pic of my 06 1000RR after 2 weeks of rain. I have done a few things to the bike and just want to see if anyone likes it. Let me know what you think.

New mods are:
Painted lower fairing
Frame plugs
Chrome decal kit
black rotors
chrome brake and clutch fluid covers
hot bodies flushmounts
mesh in the fairings & front fender
BMC race filters
PCIII (cant see it)

My next thing is my swingarm. Should I chrome it or powdercoat it black? Gas cap will be chrome.

Powdercoat it black , it will set off the chrome wheels nice.

Looks good. I like the chrome decals. Do they look as good in person as they do in the pic. Who did you
get them from? I vote for going with black on your swingarm it will make your wheels and rear hugger stand
out plus easier to clean.

Yes I did cut the pipe. It sticks out way to far.

The stickers looks even better in person. At first they did have a few bubbles but now they are fine. I got them from tapeworks.com

I think I am going to go with the black swing arm. I am trying to find someone selling one from an 07.

I made the mesh myself for the side fairings. I even put some in the openings on the front fender.

Thanks for all the input!

The mesh is fixed to the bike using plastic. I melted a certain type of plastic to the mesh and the fairing and once it cooled it was on good.

I cut it with about 2500 miles on it. Does not create any problems at all. Been about 500 miles and its fine. Very easy to do.
