lee, needs mesh now you have opened it up, but it will help stop it filling up with water
Already meshed, hard to see in other pic. And bp comes with a drain hole in anyway.

but you are welcome to tag along at the back
That would be a miss piggy sandwich :roll:

Lloydie haven't your braided lines already got a plastic sleeve over them. :confused I think foam may be better, especially where if the lines are a bit long they rub on the inside of the fairing when steering. Frame looks good. :thumbup:

Lee I like what you have done there to the belly pan, good idea. :thumbup:

lee, you might need to touch the paint up around the edge you have cut, red or black, if i had a spare seat unit i'd be doing the same, yesterday i used one piece of mesh from seb to cover the hole in my fairing lowers, i'm very happy with the finished look, thanks again seb and lee.....tut tut tut, wot u like :lol:
i'm liking the look tho lee... :thumbup:

Yep, on the list of to do's. Tbh would have done it before i put the mesh in but didnt have any red about. If I was doing it properly I'd have painted the whole thing, but hey ho. See how it turns out when its done.

I wrapped the front brake lines in shrink wrap just so they don't scratch my new paint job .

Should have done it in bronze. Makes it much faster :P

I do like the look of the black frame.

white is to much hassle to keep clean, i'm liking the bronze, or maybe agunmetal grey, i prefer a satin finish rather than a gloss finish, i also like the red R1 frame but i don't think it will suit the vtr frame.....

lloydie has your bike just hung itself 8O 8O 8O

how about this bronze colour

Cant see the point in grey....too similar to original silver. If you do it red it will be faster.

What about a deep metallic blue ( unless its going with your current bodywork ).

it won't be with the blue bodywork, i like the bmw hp2 colour scheme, maybe blue frame and wheels and white bodywork with a matching blue stripe...proper ESSEX!!!!!
it would be a darker deeper met blue tho

A gun metal Grey would be OK along the same colour as your belly pan.
