Some more mods over the weekend, LED rear indicators, Scorpion Carbon exhaust, removed rear pegs and brackets and more chopping to the rear fender. What do you think?

Looks great Eospro!!!.

I've avoided the rear chop so far because I've never been too keen on the final result but.... yours I like!!!
With all your other mods it's a sweet lookin' bike.

Cheers. BB

Thanks BB, I sure enjoyed working on it. Only problem now, is that work restricts the time i have to ride. But can't complain too much i have managed 14,000km in 4 months and still on the original tires. :P :P :P

I got the number plate cover from supa cheap tuggerah, was trying to find one for ages, about $16. I don't think the exhaust came with the baffle, although there is a screw in there, I'll have a closer look.

I noticed you took the rear grab rail off .
Wonder if someone makes a sort of a cover ,to make the rear grab handle holes and gap disappear .
Anyone good with fiber glass .?
Just shape the rear fairing grab handle gap ,add paint it the colour of your bike.

I might go get a surfboard repair kit and have a go at making one ,got no idea how to ,but its a challenge.


Ok im off to you tube to learn how to fiber glass :lol:

I got a mate in QLD who molds carbon fibre for a living and next time i'm up there he wants to extend the front fairing to wrap around the engine like a GP bike and replace the undertail with some kind of aero design to make the whole rear end look one piece. I would want to see some damn good drawings first though.

Sleddog, the hardest part of fibreglassing in cleaning up the damn mess. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for that. Undo the screw and the baffle easily slips out. Sounds a lot better also.
