Looks good :tup: It gives those parts more of a "finished" look. I'm sure Yamaha left them as they came out of the mold to save some money.

Hey got a quick question where did you buy your rear hugger and the name of the company that makes it? I'm looking for a hugger for my FZ1!

I dunno, they kind of contrast with the frame in a bad way. I mean, the finish and everything is great, but they make your frame want to be shiny and pretty too.

BTW, have you at any time recently posted full pics of your bike? I don't recall seeing any, nor did I even realize you'd gotten smart and done yours up in the fastest color. Pics please!
 
Hrm, maybe you should have posted that pic first. With the headlights and the tail section, those covers look much better seeing the whole bike like that. Looks great, love the headlights.
 
I was also unhappy with those. And cause I love carbon, I decided to go for it.
Found somebody here who covers, whatever you want in carbon fibre?!
Picture show the work in progress, without the final layer of clear coat.
I love it already:flash:
