Default Before and After in 39 days. (w/ pics)

Hey guys, these are the new pictures of what my bike looks like right now. I think it's done for now, except for exhaust. That I can't decide on so it can wait. This is how it looked stock.

[hr]
First off is the front end; my Hotbodies Racing smoked flushmounts and custom air intake mounted signals. The flushies aren't visible from the front, especially during the day. So I just 3M double sided padded these leds to one of the fins in each side, and tadaa. Pretty stealthy...

[hr]
Next up is the rear end; led taillight with integrated signals,
and fender eliminator. The taillights were pretty annoying to get wired, but I love the outcome. As for the eliminator, I ordered it the second day after buying the bike. It looks so clean and the angle of the plate is actually pretty nice. I have to hand it to the guys at Competition Werkes, it really looks factory.

If you're wondering about the plate, my best friend has a 600RR and his plate says "SIDE B". We ride together almost always and when we do the plates read [SIDE B][Y SIDE]. I get called gay for it all the time, but I think it's cool.
[hr]
Almost forgot the cowl. This is one of my favorite mods. It looks almost perfect with the lines of the rear fairing. I love the way it looks, and I think adds aerodynamics, just like my sweet "spoiler"!

[hr]
Lastly, the rimstripes and Red Bull injection system.
They change the look of the bike a lot more that you would think. I think it looks more like a race bike. Here is a couple pics of the whole bike, with everything done. The first pic has my pet wolf in it. (and before I get a reply that says that it does nothing, it is a Red Bull can cut down the back and slid over the resevoir. It is purely for looks.)


I actually get a lot of compliments on the Red Bull can. And one guy asked if the bike is faster with it. I said yes, and he said "he's going to look into doing the 'mod' to his". HAHA!
[hr]
So that about wraps it up, and if you think she's the coolest F4i on the planet feel free to nominate me for ROTM! Just kidding (but not really).


EDIT: pictures didn't work.

Bike looks great, although the whole Red Bull thing is kinda played out. The air intake signals are sick and really are one of a kind. Never seen that before. However, I'm sure everyone on the forum will be stealing that idea shortly.

yeah you know i was going to look into wiring signals to the front like that too...having seen it done now, i think i am going to....nice job...i am going to try and figure out the best way to do it (not that your way is bad)...we'll see...as for the red bull can, i sort of agree with Ehonda....what i am doing..i am pulling it out of the clamp...painting it all black...i thought about getting a new one, but too expensive and you can't powder coat'em so i am going to mask off the bank and paint the canister and remount it....but that's mine...you can't have that idea...haha....j/k....may i also suggest removing the stickers off the chainguard....i don't know...my personal preference, i really like it without....you can catch my signature and see what mine looks like without the stickers...

good job overall though...

Thanks for the advice. I assumed it just looked dirty. But I keep it in my house when I'm not riding it and I think it used to get left out. I might get a red chain, what do you think of those?
