What to do?

Exnav · Post by **Exnav** » May 27th, 2009, 7:04 pm

I'm kinda at the stopping point on my bike. I can't really justify putting any more money into it, but want to do something to make it look better. So with some trepidation I ask the board..what would you do to make it look better? Oh yeah, replace with Gen3 is not a viable answer at this point, but do agree with the sentiment. I have a set of red side panels too....what to do?

Stock (white) side panels look much better IMO.

I'd put some black Excels on it

Boyesen clutch cover (magnesium in color)

IMS Pro Series pegs (if you don't already have wide pegs)

Wave rotors while loosing the shark fin, caliper protector (I take off the mounting tabs as well) and front rotor cover. Obviously, keep that stuff if you ride in rocky conditions.

How 'bout some numbers. May as well make it look fast. Not that it isn't already.

Oh and then there are the "96" swingarm stickers. The yellow matches your backgrounds.
Comes in 125, 250, and 500.

I think a big ass EGA on your number plate would be the best thing for you!

Hell shipmate, it looks good to me. Ride the hell out of it!

i think the red plastics like the acerbis look goobery on those bikes, and they fit like crap.

I'm with yaya...that thing looks great as is. I'm a big fan of the stock look. That said, black excels do look sharp on a Honda. I have some with red powdercoated hubs on mine, but only because they were already on the roller. I'm too cheap for bling.

A nice topcoat of So Cal dirt sounds like just the ticket.
