Long time no see.

Since you guys pointed me, that my bike is too dark, I decided to add some vibrant colors - make my wheels shiny. Well outer rim at least. You know, it's that style. where you got center of wheel in one color and the rim polished.



Shiny isn't it?! I'm getting blind just by looking on this picture! Where is my shades? Oh, here.  That's better.





Now ask me, why is it simply grey?.. (You better don't.)

I didn't tell you previously, but I run straight handlebars just stick instead of handlebars. It gives you very unusual feel. Like it's curved away from you. Especially when you ride another bike (with ordinary handlebars) from time to time.



Another notable change - headlamp fairing. It was hard to install, but I managed.



So it's how it's so far. ...maybe I need to repaint whole thing... again.

Looks the same fairing three people I ride with have got, I don't like them but it seems I'm outnumbered.

I like the polished rims, all my mates did the mod back in the day, mostly on Suzuki Bandits.

D.D.

People or fairings?..

Very shiny indeed I'm a big fan of the stylised letters on the tank.
Is it comfortable with those bars ?
Fairings are good but must remain unobtrusive.
And has been suggested here many times it's your bike to do what you want to do to it. 👍👍

Welcome

Is it comfortable with those bars ?

Well, I'm a tall guy with long arms, and I could say "yes", but it was long way to this stick on this very bike. First it has some kind of ordinary bars with ordinary-to-tall rise. I got all wind on my chest. Sitting position was very upright. Then I installed handlebar with low rise. Became better, but with more aggressive position comes aggressive acceleration, that keep throwing my torso back on every twist of throttle. So I went further and got myself dragbar. Position became even more aggressive, that helped with wind and acceleration issues, but another issue raised - dragbar interfered with tank (even with higher stem). Then I decided not to stop and went bananas - I installed this stick. Every achievement I got still here, and no more interference between tank and bars. And with such stick you riding posture will be really badass, asphalt will scream to spare it. As for the long trips I don't know how painful will it be to ride 1000kms in one seat - haven't tried it yet. But I don't think there will be much of a issue, since I have FZS1000 in my garage too.
