Thanks.

Having trouble trying to upload a pic from my iphone. Not sure how to do it.

Only part I'm desperately after is a tail tidy. The standard is god damn ugly.

Maybe some levers too but the Mrs isn't that happy that I've bought the bike never mind buying more parts for it.

Been riding only about 5 yrs. had a zzr600 and a zx6r and now the R1. Was hoping to have a proper outing on it today but it's chucking it down here. Rain riding isn't fun.

If you have the money EvoTech do some nice quality tail tidy's , if ASV levers are too pricey for you but you don't want chinese the Titax levers are nice & half the price of the ASV .

do the aftermarket tail tidies stop much of the road crap? I changed from stock on my FZ1 as it was really fugly, but the back end got really filthy in the rain..

You can always wash the back end. You cant make the standard tidy look pretty
