Whats up guys here is my Baby, I have had her for about a year and I bought her from a good friend that owns a shop in LA, The last dude who owned it had a minor front end accident and got scared and the rest is history, there was no front or side fairings, no headlight I gave her some love and here she is!!!

Glad you brought her back!

Shame the rad expansion tank is so big!

What mods have you done to her/going to do?

Ldavis - might just be that in the second photo he has fitted the cap - the writing looks the same.

Its where you add the coolant - Old style cars never had them, you just filled up the rad. Bikes (and cars) these days have a seperate expansion tank.

Beware... I'm not sure if this is the same (I would think it is) but the bottle can withstand a large amount of pressure (thats why you shouldn't remove the lid when hot) - do a little bit of research before hand

Would look a lot better though!

Why not keep an eye out on eBay - buy the odd OEM fairing and over time you'll have the complete collection - it'll be cheaper than buying brand new from Honda.

I'm not saying buy random panels - isn't there any repsol ones on there?

Whats the difference between the normal and the Nikki Hayden model apart from a few stickers?

I didn't mean buying the chinese crap - I'm saying for you to keep an eye out for OEM (Original) Repsol panels... There maybe a mudguard on there one week, and a month later the sides etc.

I've heard many stories about the "aftermarket" panels - theres been thread after thread about them.
