Haha It's just a cut-up Mountain Dew can wrapped around the rear shock reservoir. I've seen people do Red Bull and the occasional beer can as well. I'm a Mountain Dew nut, so it was only natural. It's really easy to do, too. Just loosen the hose clamp holding the reservoir in place, cut up a can to fit (make sure to wash it), wrap it around the reservoir and tighten the clamp back down.

Aken, I used a SobeAdrenaline can. I have a red 01, and the color matches fairly well. Also, if you position the can just right, you get"Adrenaline Rush" at the top, and then "High Performance" at the bottom. The guy that I bought it from had a Red Bull can on his, and I liked the idea but I wanted to make it mine.

hahaha, if the hole bike was blue it would look good. It actually did look pretty good, but I bought it from a friend of mine, and kind of wanted to make it more mine. Something small that changed it up a little bit. I am actually a huge fan of red bull too. I am on my second can for the day.

Wow! I didnt think there was this many things you can do to a bike mod wise. Looks like ill be doing a lot of the same things being im getting the 01 F4i same color scheme as yours. Good to see that there is a ton of cheap mods out there. Cant wait to get mine!! Im impressed. A member said that in my intro thread the pics i posted of the bike im getting looks like yours so i had to check it out! lol big difference. And i have pics of the LED's from the previous owner so you can check that out.
