Just popped out and fitted my Carbonadi engine covers. Can't make up my mind on whether or not to purchase an after market belly pan.

I'd personally say go for it. I think with the pyramid plastic one and (i think) the powerbronze one it looks a lot sportier as it's closer to being fully faired. They're just bloody expensive is the problem :thumbdown:

If I go for it I'm tied between the Pyramid one or the Moriwaki replica form Skidmarx.

Just googled it, it looks alright but it's a personal preference thing I guess, as I prefer to Pyramid. It's a lot cheaper though, I'll give it that :lol:

More one armed tinkering...took all HEL lines off Red & the Black callipers as I know they are good to go seal wise, only fitted last year. Whacked on the original mankey callipers minus the fluids, pads & lines...Damaged in the crash Mr Insurance man... :wink:

Stuck an old battery in it, old bar ends, put the tank & seat back on & a set of std pipes. So if the robbing bastids insurance monkeys don't let me keep it
they get back a standard bike + a bag of broken bits of fairing...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
