Without the Seat strap the Targa cowls would be a pain to install

gsxr: Your bike is really coming together.. with you two guys, I feel like I havent really done much of anything comparatively...

I have been doign some cleanup and small details... today I ordered new EBC HH front pads and I bought reflective red rim stripes... still need to get the rear tail decals.. but that should be it for 'detail' stuff.. need to find a straight right hand side rearset

New break pads are always good!! Im going to get some rim decals also, just not sure what color to get yet, I think I will be painting my tank soon, and then im going to throw some graphics on, I got little red anodized bitz for the upper fairing and wind screen, but not sure im gonna go for a red accent anymore....

what happend to your seat in the meantime? If its a recover job it needs to be a bit tighter

Otherwise the bike is looking good.

was like that when i bought it, i was planing on doing a step seat conversion so I wans't worried about it, I shift around on the bike alot in the twisties, and since the recover job was crapy, it is starting to look like crap, I guess I should fix it soon

There is a pretty good section in the How-to's for recovering. When I recovered my f4 seat it took 2 of us to get it really tight and glued down well. It still looks awesome after 2 years.
