I like the idea of a blade rear but I won't be "modding" this bike .
Only subtle things really as it don't need it and I can't be arsed lol

(:-})

I concur. Without the side fairings it looses its balance to the eye. If your going to remove the fairings then they will all have to go. Think of the weight reduction

Found one from a X11 and made it fit ,wasn't hard tbh .
Not that you can see it from the off side .
But it cleans up the nearside now it only has one can .

I know what you mean lloydie, give me a well sorted standard-ish looking bike all day long.
having a show bike is just to much hard work, looks fantastic but your forever worrying about stone chips and scratches...

Today I received my delink brake kit from JAWS .
So I set to and stripped the body work off to gain access to the plumbing as its all hidden .
Then removed all the crap and there's loads off it !.

.
The kit and fitting instruction need some refinements and I've passed that info onto JAWS .
I also think the rear master cylinder is to big as the rear brake peddle is rock hard .
Tho I've not road tested it yet but will do later

That looks a lot tidier Lloydie

Yep .
Just need to fit a smaller rear master cylinder now to get more travel and feel from the rear brake .
