Rear sets powder coated, radiator side panels powder coated, rear shock spring painted bright red, rear hugger cut down mod, rear blinker replacement mod.

Finally someone powder coated their stock rearsets to match the black frame!! (something Yamaha should have done!) Looks fantastic.

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, when I took it to the dealership where I purchased the bike they gave me a round of applause.

They all said that Yamaha should have made it that way from the factory. It makes the bike look soooo much streamlined. Your eye doesn't automatically stop at the big ugly silver things sticking out like sore thumbs.

Thanks! I went to a bike night last week and had tons of people coming over to look at it. They all commented how much better it looks.

Have you ridden it in the rain since cutting down the rear wheel hugger? (duh, I see you're from Seattle!

). Stay dry enough?
It sure looks good!

Yep, I ride rain or shine and the rear shock is still as clean as it was when I put it back on 3 weeks ago. The rear hugger still protects the shock just fine. My TCP Plastics rear hugger will be shipping mid November. I just did the hugger mod myself to see how good I was with the dremel tool.

It actually turned out much better than I thought. One guy at the dealership asked where I bought it. hehe.

Looks awesome Ken! Now you've got me thinking about doing some mods myself....

Sweet.

It is the individual details that make the difference.
