Hey thanks!  Every mod was done for a specific reason. I used to do track days on modern sprot bikes and there were certain things that made life easier - like not having to take off an engine cover to get to a front sprocket, feet up and back, front low and everything as lean as possible!

I know the paint had been done before.  But who cares - I love it!  Plus I changed it up by adding the stripes over the top and large number plates on the rear.  Speaking if the rear - all carbon.  The electrical tray under the seat, carbon and the dash is also carbon.  I love the stuff!
