She looks good rob and in the fastest colour to 8-) I see its got a double bubble, front braids, and r&g bobbins next I'd go for a exhaust and get that massive standard off, pillion seat cover (hard to find second hand), might have some gold pazzo's but i'll have to check fitment, depending on how hard you push a steering damper might be a good idea

EDIT your mate is correct :D

Decat is in the standard can

No you just swap the end can cat is in it (adding a link pipe obviously) mine ran very rich so had a pc3 and remap which worked wonders, I would get the later pc3 usb as i've had a few issues with the earlier model

Yes cowl :doh: if you find one cheep enough seem pretty rare though or you could plumb for a slanty copy

+1 on the steering damper. Is the rear hugger standard silver? Was toying with spraying mine red. Nice bike though mate. Do the polished rims need maintaining? Oh and a tail tidy is a must! :D

yes pal rear hugger is standard silver,i would say the polished rims need maintaining,tried to clean mine earlier but they seem a bit blotchy if that makes sense (if rims were standard i would of just left them as they were)

Welcome fella! Nice bike, get yourself a decent steering damper & shouldn't need much more.
