hehe yeah... that's why I knew no one would guess

He did a chopped top, re-did the 1/4 panels + hood + trunk lid, put a 350 in there with air bags and new upholstery and carpet

I`ll take a pic when the polishing is done.

To document my thread: current pics: lxevawl's slideshow on Flickr

Also, the bellypan shipped today from the ebay seller to my buddy in France... can`t wait!

Here is what it looks like on his bike:

wet sanded my old seat cowl to get rid of the scratches from the crash, and re-painted myself using glossy black...

It looks alright, but I am still not sure if I am going to keep it or now...

What do you guys think, with or without?

yes I know I am missing a barend... lost it...

I think on V2.0 I liked it better with (probably because of the belly pan) but on this one I like better without.

wavex · 06-01-2008, 10:07 PM

Yeah I agree with you... I think I am going to keep it for a few days and see how I feel about it... if it doesn`t grow on me by then I`l take it off.

Looky what got here this morning:

For 29 Euros, I am very impressed with the quality and finish... just great.

Some wet sanding and paint and it`ll be ready to go!

Nice! Does it use the OEM brackets? The holes look like they're in the same spots from what I can tell in the pics.

rg-one · 06-15-2008, 07:38 PM

dude you should have ordered like 10 of them and sold them for $150 each

I am not sure... I posted pics of the mounting a few pages back

The bellypan did not come with mounting brackets, so I`ll have to make my own.

The bike looks really good man...

now you just have to work on keeping it rubber side down.

GConn · 06-18-2008, 11:18 AM

I have the same bely pan sitting in the garage, waiting for me to make some money so I can paint it....I'll have to wait for some time (so wavex can post a detailed "how to" for me, money is just a cheap excuse)
