    I've done the stealth look on mine, every single sticker and badge is off it. Only thing I want off it now are the pillion pegs, had a dabble at it but realised how much of a ballache it is so called it quits.

    It's worth having a go at the rear pegs when and if you decide too change your bodywork over. Once the rear ends off its better to split the subframe, something I didn't do and struggled. I can help you out with this one afternoon Cal. ;)

    Just found a couple of photos from when I'd started to change from plain matte black to Repsol winter test look. I was one click away from buying orange wheels...... Then I spotted the SP. :rolleyes: 20180902_112414.jpg 20180902_150027.jpg

    Damn, now you've put me on the spot!!;)

    I have used the clear vinyl book covering very successfully on the sides of a couple of tanks. That is probably available in a matte or satin finish. And then there is the car wrap also:

    Ever considered Matt grey. I think they look smart.

    I have to be fair, but more of a dark grey. But I didn't know whether it would look odd with bolts fairing bolts. I have however seen a black and grey matt fairing kit from auctmarts.com which I've my eye on.

    I have to say that I think the Matt black (especially the one above @Stuish ) looks really nice and for some reason really stands out far more than the gloss.
