New S1000RR in Porto Portugal.

[Troy]

Here is my bike. These photos are the first day out on it (The only day I have had her out so far). I have ordered Carbon fibre front and rear mudgaurds, tank cover, and the bits to get rid of all that mesh look plastics, plus a tail tidy and some new levers. Work away from home so will be fitting them when I get back. Looking forward to getting rid of those chicken stripes too on the back tyre Did about 160miles only and she is still limited to 9000rpm.... Will post more pics as the bike progresses. Think i will do all in Carbon fibre, ordered also some white reflective vynl to make my own Symetrical front fairing light stickers...

Yep the stripes will go....

Best Regards,
Troy...

Godzilla,
Not sure if you mean the stickers or the Carbon (or both).... Just ordered front and back MotoGrafix stickers . Didn't see them before and the look great in white and grey.
Hey If I don't like them I can always peel them off...

I meant dont try to make the headlights look the same. But dont go overboard on the carbon either. Better putting you money into the suspension.

I have to say Mick's carbon beast does look the mutts, however I like the lights as they are - Unique and sexy IMO, but is is late and I am needing my Z's lol

I would agree with Godzilla on the sussy upgrade , them front ohlins look the nuts.
Would definately get some CF wheels if i was rich though

I'm not a lover of the un even headlights to be honest I just don't understand why they have not made them the same. But if you cover over one with vinyl be careful you don't upset the beam unless your only going to be riding her during the day of course

The high beam is smaller to save weight, apparently. Function over form, like the rest of the bike. But its asymmetrical in lots of other ways as well. part of the reason I like it

And they wanted to capture the spirit of an endurance racer. I like it and you know when ones coming up behind.

Your money would be better spent on getting rid of that hideous cat and putting on a full system
