Makeover complete for now!

[bex]

...not because I'm finished just because I've gone back to uni and officially run out of money :D

Tail chopped, gone from high level DPs to low level Mivvs, a shorty hugger and rearsets on.

I might have to put my baffles back in as every single time I enter or leave the underground car park at my flat at least one car alarm goes off, my record has been 3... oops....!!!

Classy looking bike bex. Best email them quickly.:mand::mand:

[granite785]

Looking good, dont worry about the baffles. I love setting off the car alarms at work! :biggrin:

[bex]

The problem is I'm supposed to be paying a rental fee for parking there, and they've never charged me yet in the last 5 months.... so I'm getting it for nowt, whilst all the car drivers have bought a parking space for 15k plus theres flats above

So I risk a) reminding them and getting charged or b) getting booted out and having absolutely nowhere to park!

That said, when I went to take the photos I took the baffles down with the intention of popping them back in.... then thought naaaaaaaaaaaah!!

[littlejimmy12]

nice looking bike where and what you studying, I am also an impoverished student

[bex]

[uksurfer]

[chris yeatman]

i like blue

[J.P]

That looks really nice

[Panther]

It's looking really nice now, good work!

I use to have Mivv's they seem good value for money to me, mine sounded lovely and fruity too. I have to admit ear plugs were needed on long rides.

[Blah blah]

i like blue

[kneedown]

[hang em high]

very tastefully done bex, love it!

ummmm, i know what you've been spending your student loan on.....RIZOMA!!!!! lmao :D

[yantheman]

Looking really good Bex :thumbsup:

[bex]

Oh, the whole point of this was to show it back in July when I got it and now, after joining the forum and getting my eyes glazed over after saying I wouldn't spend a penny on it after I'd bought it... Doh!

Anyway, the general idea once I got looking at other monnies out there was to strip it down a bit and simplify the look, and unleash some of that engine noise :D

Looking good bex , i'm loving the tail chop & the exhaust

[Spike]

Great improvement on how it started out

[rac3r]

Very nice, Lovin the rear sets :thumbsup:

[skank]

mmm mmm, them Mivvs are nice. bike looks great.

[manwithredbike]

looks really good, nice pics - first one from nice angle. will be even nicer when you paint it red :)

[Bigxr]

love the belly pan, what make is it?

[bex]

It'll never be red while I own it! Maybe the next monnie!

Thanks all.

The bellypan is a Monza - costs about £70 new for a plastic one and more for carbon - I bought mine off another forum user.

[rac3r]

we all know that Red is the fastest colour :cool:

[big pete]

The more I look at it bex , the better it gets. Have to admit to being a bit of a bling man myself and love cutting and modding but your bike with the minimal look in that colour "testicles du chien!"

[kneedown]

must say done a nice job of it bex

[bex]

Thanks guys... got to admit I'm loving it. I got into uni this morning on the bike and wandered into my lecture with the leather jacket on reading these last posts on my phone, when some bloke came up to me and went hooooly **** is that your bike out there?

I was like.... yup :D

Being a midget on a monnie really amuses people it seems...!

[uksurfer]

really like the lower pipes/tail chop to expose the wheel, so much better! :thumbsup:

[bex]

Also seems to have exposed a load of dirt up my back and rucksack which I hadnt noticed before :running:

Hey Bex, nice bike.
The crap up the back can be sorted using a piece of stiff(ish) perspex from B&Q, same width as the number plate but about four inches longer, so no more crappio.

g ; )

[bex]

Might think about that, thanks!

[granite785]

I love it, the before and after photos really help to emphasise the changes.
