Howdy Fella,
I notice you have the Pyramid belly pan on your bike. Me too!
Hows the fit on yours? Mine is touching the exhaust on the left side (might be because of my pipes - not sure)
Also, whats that on the rear foot rest of your picture?

Likewise! Plus the previous owner must have not loosened off the belly pan when changing the exhaust hence there is a couple of small cracks in the thin section that runs above the side stand.
The front of the belly pan is looking a bit worn now with all the stone chips but I guess that's just par for the course!
The bike now wears a pair of Microns and a shiny new WP rear shock. I use the bike every day so the rack on the back is a bit of a compromise style wise. It doubles up as a handy helmet rack when the box isn't on.
The thing on the rear foot rest is an Abus disk lock. They make a wee holder for it that bolts onto the footrest hanger. It's a bit easier than trying to wrestle the bloody seat off a couple of times a day.

Belly Pan
I had the Pyramid belly pan but recently chucked it cos it deckked out so many times, then started cracking, stone chips etc - but it did also touch one of the exhausts (can't remember which side) and looked well cooked! Also, 2 up on the bike it dekked out big time - maybe I ate too many cakes!

I've only touched the pegs down once or twice, but my old Carbotech CF bellypan use to deck out quite often, on my own or two-up. I'm no heavyweight either (a mere 12 stone).
I've got a modified moriwaki race bellypan (the one that acts as a catch tank) on now and that's fine, although to be honest since it's been fitted I've been struggling with tyres and suspension problems so don't tend to push it much.

belly pan touching
I get my toe, knee and peg down 3 or 4 times a day (as long as its dry) on the way home from work but I've never got the Pyramid Belly Pan down and I'm a 15stone rugby playing type blokey!
Mind you, my bike is only a couple of months old (4k miles) so maybe the new shock is playing a part ?
