I have a carbon one the same shape made by Harris but its damaged :-( .
And try and find one in good condition ... It ain't going to happen .
I don't really want to chop this one up as they are very hard to find :-(

im open to suggestions
Please only accept this as an atempt to be constructive and its only my thoughts but, the front gaurd is to big compared to the minimalistic style of the rest of the bike, a smaller one may suit better, as for colour i would try black with a green tip that follows the curve at the front of the gaurd for a few inch either side of centre
thanks for the link
a nice banner decal on the front in green with white firestorm written in it .
where's wicky with the photo shop

This is what i love about this site a chance to be personal without being offensive
My view on the vtr is that it needs to be minimalistic / uncovered, its how it was developed to be, i would buy a different bike if i wanted it fully faired, to me it does not seem right covering a bike up but i can understand people de fairing them

i have to agree with you there but you do need a clean engine to pull if off .
and thats why i put the bigger one last year to hide the dirt , but now its nice and clean the engine needs shown off

but in the mean time how about a v2 decal on either side at the front (the v in white and the 2 in green ?
above all else i dont want to over do it , keep it simple
im not putting the lower fairing back on tho it looked good
Dont do the V2 decal it will ruin the clean looks. Keep it classy and pure like Ducati's, VFR's, etc - They dont need the garish shell suit looks of other bikes to look superb. to add these you need to go the full race rep route for it to looki balanced. Just my opinion though

very true as we all know black is the fastest colour
but i needed to slow down so the green is staying

See if you can get a vinyl printer to knock one up (copy & use the png file) using an inkjet on white vinyl then cut it out and apply with some lacquer for protection.
Front top of mudguard or on the front number board would be good
