Makeover complete for now! - Page 2

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

love the belly pan, what make is it?

01-11-2009, 09:40 PM

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.

we all know that Red is the fastest colour

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!"

must say done a nice job of it 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

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

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

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

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.

Might think about that, thanks!
