Suggestions on my S2R, mods, how to do them and where etc - Page 2

Oh, I got this bug too.

You're probably better off having a look at the video, not quite the same bike as yours though.

I now have NO money whatsoever, will probably starve to death but who cares? My bikes pretty!

Silver nickel plated virtually every single fastener or part that showed any signs of corrosion, including the front and rear wheel axles and nuts, fuel tank bracket, seat cowl brackets, footrest hangar bolts, side stand and bracket to name but a few. In total well over 200 parts were plated (if you really can be bothered then PM me for a full list) and they have come up a treat!! Next was the full exhaust system and clamps which has been lovingly polished. Top and bottom yoke, swing arm end plates, fork bottoms and footrest hangars, brake pedal, gear change pedal, actuating arm and linkages plus a myriad of other bits have all been powder coated, along with the rear sprocket carrier too. Both front and rear wheels have also received the same treatment, as well as new rear cush drive rubbers and bearings and new polished stainless steel front disc rotor bolts. A considerable number of other fasteners have also been replaced with polished stainless steel items. New front steel and alloy rear sprockets and gold DID chain are also fitted, plus lashings of numerous billet alloy parts too numerous to mention. A host of carbon fibre parts like side panels, bellypan and headlight bowl. Um, Rizoma handlebars and grips, DPM mirrors, tail chop, Rizoma aluminium and perspex belt covers, billet reservoir caps, little funky LED indicators etc etc etc etc and etc

And an entirely unique holographic paint job.

The video has a link underneath my signature below.....

Must say I do like those K&N filters.
Do you get much induction noise from them?
Also, the smaller one is it a breather?

Heh heh heh!, now the idea is planted it'll eat away at him for months until he gets one!

Singletrack, I hope the dog looks like its owner rule applies as that bike is damn sexy.

Littlejimmy, I would take a look at the gallery section as well to get an idea for mods.

Oh Anne is uber-lovely and what Gilps said is right she does like to buy lots of new bikes but as a preferred customer we get first refusal

Guys some fantastic bikes but the absolute best mod you can make is to trade up to a Hypermotard

Thanks Squiffy (LOL the cheque is in the post).
You're wrong about the Hyper though. Fantastic as it is, it doesn't have the character or soul of a Monster. Although it is more fun to ride!

I am very proud of my bike - and it's good to hear complements from everyone. Thank you.
I still can't decide whether to have a fancy paint job, but quite like the mean look of the gloss black. Perhaps it's something to think about over the next winter.
