Love the silver one and the way the fairings cut down its a brave move! not made me mind up yet on the headlight?

+1 on that

Couple of things I'm not sure about but certainly a looker

Awesome! The guy with silver bike must like Mad Max. He's got a MFP logo on the tank and 'Maintain Right' underneath.

I'm a Mad Max geek so it sicks out like a sore thumb.

Guess he made it from a p p p piece from here and a p p p piece from there.

I need to stop quoting mad max, less than .001% of the population know what I'm on about!

Standard radiator pipes let it down;)

Really well done, apart from the mad max quotes that is...

I like the end cans, what are they and are they available in the UK? or something similar?

Like the clean lines of the rear subframe, much improved.

Totally agree - it's the lack of rear hangers which makes the bike look a hell of a lot more modern.. more in line with the supersports bikes of the current era... (a bit!)
Any idea how you could go about securing the end cans if you removed the hangers?

looks like he's got them bolted to the rider pegs, you can bolt the cans directly to the subframe if you have high levels and remove the rear pegs, did this on my old storm

To get the same clean look as the bike above, I'd say the cans need to be lower just so you get a bit of clear air between the wheel and the subframe.

high levels do look nice though...
