Lol the second one...I have now i'm pretty sure. It was 736cc's that I bought off him along with that tail section but a different tank...the same one everyone raved about when they saw it all painted black and silver on his bike...

I think it looks good but then again i'm biased and that's why I bought it lol.

Colin, your bike is fantastic, but the bigger gas tank makes a big difference.

To add to your story, I bought my K0 from Andy (736cc) in 2007 and he used some of the money to buy that bike (that he originally called the Yoshimura bike) which, when he bought it, had a stock tank painted red, then he painted it matt black, then he fitted the larger tank. I think I've got some pics somewhere that he sent me when he first bought it. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Having the higher tank give the bike a clean line to the tail. Makes allot of aesthetic difference.
