Here's my new (ish, 1600 miles on the clock) 2006 model. Only added an HRC tank pad for now, not sure if I will do anything else cosmetic or even exhaust wise (UK trackdays are quite strict on noise limits)

this is the latest pic of mine...doing a little winter mod..
1) Hid conversion from xenon depot. 6500k
2) 15/41 520 conversion from dk
3) Sent gauges to have leds changed......should be here this week
I will post pics when finished.
i received the cluster back today and though i would post a pic..they were done by bluegauges.com. The turn around was quick and they work is very good!!!!!
Iv seen them and want that done to mine.. but can't find a place that does it in the UK. I think 70 to change the LEDs is extortionate... but still I would grudgingly pay it... but I sure won't pay 70 plus all the extra to get it shipped to the USA and then pay to get it shipped back ontop of that... I would be paying in excess of 200!! To change 3 LED's? No thanx...
so take 70 for the work, then 38 from Italy to USA and then 38 from USA back to Italy... 146.
So 146 to change 3 led's? nah...
Don't get me wrong... if a guy did it locally yeh I would pay the 70!! But to pay more for the postage than the actual work is NOT something I would be willing to do.

That's all I remember off the top of my head, sure there is more.
A questiona bout the Moriwaki radiator ducts... can they be painted? I have looked around and can only find them in carbon fibre... personally if I got them I would want them white to match my bikes fairing... but if they are only available in carbon fibre then I would have to paint them (no big deal) but is there a reason why they arent available in plastic? Too hot? If so then wouldnt the heat effect the paint if I were to get them painted?
I want to know if there is any hard evidence that they work? I mean I read once that one "MOD" was to reverse one of the radiator fans....ummm if you reverse a radiator fans direction then it will be blowing against the flow of the air.....what is the point of that?
