    Hi blink.......nice bike you've picked up there and seems pretty decent mods already, so I say just ride the thing and get your confidence up for the summer!

    I see you changed the tyres too some that look like they would be better suited to all weather riding too!

    I have a HRC full size hugger you can have in blue which will match the blue in your fairings! ;)

    i got them to change the tyres to do the deal, I just said that they had to be decent ones, and they fitted bridgestones.

    Will the blue really match?

    I think a blue rear huggers going to look weird with you having a red front one ( sorry Paul :p)
    A nice carbon black one would look good.

    No worries @blink , original HRC ones are thin on the ground, especially in red so you'll probably have to go down the aftermarket route.....carbon etc.

    I personally prefer the smaller ones as I replaced mine with a short carbon item!

    Can you do a Photoshop or similar conversion to show those options? I would hesitate about white - but each to their own!

    Here's an updated pic of mine with the honda carbon hugger. The previous pics are with the profiber gp carbon hugger which looked great too.

    it looks great, you have those things on the tank so you dont scratch it too

    gold chain looks good too

    I dare say i could drop a grand in about ten mins but im in enough trouble as it is spending :D

    photoshop and me dont mix. I saw a white HRC one in the dealer and thought it looked good, but think a red would probably look more factory
