Mario Nava Seat/tail unit. :thumbup: Look it has the two holes on top and the lockable hatch. That's the only thing special about it. Headlights are yuk :sick: Fork cobersion nothing special and pretty standard for most people, WP shock, yeh OK. Harris rearsets Mmmm.

It probably worth 1200 just for the Mari Nava tail, forks, rearsets, shock and then sell the rest.

That's very cheap for all those extras. Someone's spent quite a lot of money there.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

my thoughts aswell tony, hell the powder coating or spraying would have cost a few hundred quid, then theres the clf covers another few hundred, the front end conversion is at least £500, a bargain for someone, if it suits there taste that is...

Hmm.. I'm in two minds about it, from the side it looks absolutely stunning. But those headlights put me off instantly. I'd rather stick the headlights off an SP-1/2 onto it, then it would be more or less perfect. May have to change the colour a bit, I'm not even sure what colour that is!

i'd like to see the rear lights, something interesting going on there, i reckon some black rear numberboards with a white boarder would look very nice on the seat unit.... :thumbup:

I'm with Virt, SP lights would be good. The colour reminds me of Superblings Hawk.

Okay in my book - Fairing I like though headlights would need to better than stock to justify it. Seat section fine if you're on your own, but the salmony orange colour it appears in the pics is Yuk! along with the levers & bar ends. Some italian red slap should sort it out and black accessories. Presumably high milage and it being a '97 means the relatively low price.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I quite like that, not too sure about the colour but the lights give that "Endurance Racer" look. Perhaps an HRC colour scheme would have been better than just one colour. But the cost of a three colour paint job would be quite high to do it well.

Modify the tank a little to take the endurance racer look a little further, twin fillers and a breather hump and it'd be almost there...
