i thought red was the fastest, BUT...

hehe it's now black with red fender LOL, thanks to Jman for the tank cover. to those who have it, how do you get it to fit properly (near the top of the gas tank is still wrinkled a little)? and what do you do with the straps? right now i have it rolled together with black electrical tape but surely there's a cleaner way of doing it.

mods pending, pazzo levers, FE kits, LED signals. ohlins damper (maybe), ohlins shock & r6s forks :BLAA: i'm still thinking if i should paint it white with red stripes (yamaha retro style).

what do ya guys think?

It's shiny. I'm kinda liking the red fender but wanting to see just a touch of red somewhere on the rear of the bike to balance it out. Either that or paint/trim the front fender with some black to tone it down just a little. It's interesting, because I think if the front fender were totally black, well then you'd just have a black bike. Not that that's bad, just sayin'...

This is really quick and dirty, but sorta what I was thinkin'

What he said. The rim stripes are a good start towards balancing, though. With a single large piece of red, it almost looks like a part replacement that didn't match the original color, but with a bit more red splashed throughout, it would look very cool.

is there something red underneath the tank too?

Looks nice :thumbup:

I agree with mstewar1, maybe go with a red rear fender as well to balance :don'tknow:

That is the tank (still red) under the tank bag.

I like the red, personally. Looks good with the black, too. :rockon:

If you could get the red hugger out of Europe...... that would balance the front fender.....

Agreed. :thumbup:

Or just paint the hugger (leave the chain guard black)...

Nice. My bagster fits nicely as it is thick and accurate to the dimensions. Where did you get the side pods from?

Here is a photo of my FZ6 with a Bugster
I had just roll the extra straps under the ones that hold on the tank

 

[kustom17]

what you need to do is paint that front fairing black, then take your engine cage and paint it red, it would look good like the ktm

a tip someone gave me when I first placed my tank bra, take it off, put it in a large bucket of nice hot water, leave it to soak for about 15 minutes, then put it on and firmly rub it into shape. worked like a charm for me.
