LOL, maybe....if HONDA is watching

here are those of the front OEM, once the fiberglass bodywork gets here then i'll cut and mold the ram air system which perfectly centered and very well mounted from under it too.

if you're talking about the black part under the seat in the back of the tank area, that has been there since last year. the front is secured to the tank with Velcro and the OEM bolt mount to the frame.

Try to compile a giff file format. Take a bunch of pics keeping your camera at the exact level all the way around the bike. Like a video but Giff files look real well on the "net" and don't take as much to host when pasting. PM me to explain more but no matter what....GREAT JOB!!!
i have the right side on also but is a silver side and i'm missing the lower part of it. it was actually the first part i installed.

I personally love the way the RC looks but I have total respect and am at awww with what you are doing to your RC.

Keep it up.

It's fresh. It's new. and thankfully it isn't BLUE

Man, I have followed all your recent builds!! This is awesome IMO, really modernizes the look on the RC. If I had the coin I would be doing something similar myself, although I have taken inspiration from your tail mod on another build of mine...great job, great project, and thanks so much for sharing!! BTW, how did the instrument cluster you were using work out, or have you gotten to it yet?
Thanks!!!

That looks loads better now. The minimalistic tail didn't mesh well with the full fairing look of the RC plastics, but now you got it right for sure. Looking like a GP bike even.

you see the issue here, even that tail looks way too big for that bodywork.

Nice chop BTW
