Default 2009 Frankenbike. My "daily driver". Only cosmetic "mods".


2009 non-ABS: A mishmash of 08 and 09 fairings. Some silver vinyl wrap. Solo cowl because seat flew off on highway...not latched properly...but I actually recovered it. I used the trashed seat to make a luggage rack to keep paniers off the bodywork. It is very ugly and pisses off my supersport buddy and makes others laugh. However I can now haul whatever I want and not worry about a heavy backpack. As it is bolted to the seat...it comes off essentially with the twist of a key.) Silver fender? Because I backed out of a wheel chock stand with disc lock still on! 😭😆

That's pretty darn cool! Really like that colour-scheme! Contrasting colours really makes it look FAST!!!

I'm thinking of installing Givi top-case. No more backpacks and I can stash helmet and boots when I go somewhere for food or stuff.

Thx. I'm so used to it and the graphics look dated ...so its hard for me to judge what others think. I just didnt like the original dark blue scheme and I was into silver at the time.

Yeah...I'll post a pic with the rack when I get the cases attached. Was hoping not to add a topcase to keep the weight low but being able to store the helmet/glove would be awesome. Will prob do that eventually.
