That looks like an aftermarket pipe to me, it's just missing the branding on it. I do think it would like better with a carbon fiber or satin black finished exhaust though. And as for the rim tape on polished rims... meh. I'd rather have the inner rim/spokes anodized red or something.

thats what i did on mine......painted the exhaust. i was tempted to have my tank painted also but i didn't think it would look right with flames starting from the tips of the farings flames but yours comes together nice. my idea for the rims (once i need tires) is to keep the center and spokes black and do the outside (polishished right now) part in gold. just some ideas for ya.

thats the plan....i origianally masked and painted flames on the can but they didnt match the bike like the paint cap did (stupid manufactures) so i had to sand it down and repaint it solid black untill i can get some gold mixed. then i ran out of the high temp black and figured i'de just wait and do it all at once again. now im just trying to decide whether to do the mid with the high temp gold or black. but hey now that i just jacked his thread (sorry) lets get back to his bike.

ahh yeah i guess it does after taking a closer look. however, there's nothing aftermarket looking about it, so I guess that point is moot. just about anything else would improve it.
