    As I can't ride due to my latest operation I have decided to spend my unspent fuel money on a couple of bits to make the blade a little nicer and stand out a bit.

    What cheap but not tacky mods is there available for the RR5???
    The bikes pretty much standard with factory repsol paint and an exhaust and that's about it.
    Also if any one comes across a repsol nose cone for sale please give me a heads up as mine has a few stone chips i may eventually buy a new one of not as quoted a price through here which wasn't too bad I just want too save a bit more if I can

    Ok I may have a few more mods than I thought, I have a rear seat cowl and a tail tidy also smaller indicators
    I have only take a pillion once in the 3 years I've owned as I never really enjoy the ride plus we spent most of the time on the back wheel looking for helicopters (couldn't get used to that extra weight over back)
    I have considered taking rear pegs off but what do you put in place of them?

    I'm not sure on your model to be honest but I'm sure there are some blanking plates or similar. Someone must have don't it on here. Do a search or post a thread up asking. The trouble on you bike is the rear brake reservoir is mounted it a stupid place!

    Tie wrap sounds like me lol but I'm going to do things properly for once in my life!
    Cheers to Dave and phantom
    Are the carbon trims worth it? The plastic bits at bottom of tank and heat shields etc

    Carbon is always worth it, but once you get the bug it can become and expensive addiction !

    I've got one of those and to honest I wouldn't bother as all you receive is a piece of shaped plastic around 6 or 7mm thick and a mounting screw!!

    This is the original paint and it's the US colour scheme ImageUploadedByTapatalk1339705257.935460.jpg

    And this is how it's looking now

    I'm probably not a good person to start talking about mods to unless you like being broke!! Lol

    I like both them paint jobs, never seen the yellow and blue before, it's now my second favourite to repsol (I like bright loud colours).
    Looks like you have spent a fortune on yours!!!!
    I'm liking the front indicators are they sunk in?
