Okay, got my hands on that screen. Was not so dark as in the previous picture but maybe i'll spray it flat black from inside. Here's a pic, not yet attached. Will be a bit more down- and inwards.

And it looks a lot better "in flesh".

I like the looks of that! :tu

Going to look good when all finished Karban, well thats if you ever get it done :wink:

OK, now fitted. I have to figure out a new fitting for the dashboard so i can tilt that screen a bit backwards. I would prefer a little less touring look.

Here are links to the pics:

Front left no stripes

Front left with stripes

More stripes

I'm going to paint that to match the bike as soon as i have the time and the equipment. Maybe on my vacation.

Hmm undecided, but i think it looks better without the stripes :?

Haven't decided yet either.. Maybe if it was same colour as the bike then the stripes would fit better. Or then i could stick a number plate on it. Or.. Hmm, i should get my seat cowl this friday, maybe i should stick number plates on that too..

testing, testing..

Here's a picture of pyramid plastics seat cowl. Going to paint it to match bike colors as soon as i have the spare time..

OR.. I have a spare tank, what if i just paint that black, i think it would suit too. Maybe that rear "uss enterprise" would look too big in single colour?? I think t'll just do that, easier to paint too because it's not a two-tone paint like the oem colour.

Clean lookin' seat cowl there Karban 8) :wink:

After some photoshop hassle i've realized that it would be the best solution to paint the original tank partly black. But i don't want to paint the originals. And the old tank is smaller and uglier.

But this i had in mind:

Seems like the swingarm and pegs are wrong colour, maybe if i painted them black..

I was at a motocross event yesterday and figured that i have to put that enduro fairing back. ( http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/fighzer/0102_0264.JPG ). Bugger that the cockpit is too damn large so i figured i'll settle with my Sigma BC800. Going to buy some kind of accessory meter and strip off its contents and fit the sigma in there, so i'll have a lit speedometer. Some kind of warning light panel is also needed.

Ok, the fairing is white.. I'm going to add a white stripe to the bike and number plates on the seat cowl, maybe that way i don't have to paint anything.

Oh and other mod is maybe coming too, a combined chain guard/license plate holder so i can clean up the rear end and get those rear indicators visible again.

I will post pics as soon as i get something done

(Cool that i have so many spare parts, i can alter the look of my bike in few hours if i feel like it)

Okay, here's something that started its life as an aftermarket ampere meter

After some twisting & turning the shite popped out and the sigma fits there "like a glove"

Now there's the lighting thing to solve, and somehow i have to make a hole or something so that i can switch between the modes of that sigma.

Stripped the rear fairing "just 4 fun", assembled all the mandatory lights etc and did some photoshopping.

Looks much lighter, maybe thats going to be the next step. Here's a pic:

Tried to fit the Ducati tail to the Faz and to my surprise it fits quite good, just need to patch it up a bit with fiberglass. Painted it flat black for starters.

Somehow i like the look of that flat black colour.. I have another tank, it's MY 2000 though and a bit smaller, but i could paint that in flat black too to spare the original.

Here's the reason why i painted it flat black..
