Clutch cover?  Ha...too many options out there already in aftermarket-land.

My thoughts?!?  The belly-pan looks too....um....origami-ish to me.  Need to do something better with that part.

Black wheels are cool, but look too dirty/heavy to me they need to have some color and a lighter one is better as an accent color instead of all black...

Exhaust?  tough one...  I'm with Statler in the 'F the passenger' catagory but that still leaves what to do with the cans as the question...  Stock isn't 'horrible' but it's not stellar either.  Hmmmm....got to think about that one.

I really like the black wheels, but I can see where you say they need a little pick me up.  What about a simple red rim stripe to match the red frame, or black frame for that matter.   

As far as the exhaust goes, I think that the rear of the bike needs to be as clean as possible. i.e. no large cans blocking the view.  I like the look of the termi shorty.

On the front of the bike the headlight really isn't doing it for me.  Anyone have ideas there?

If you guys want vented clutch cover, just take the stock streetfighter and machine out the slotted recesses.

[thumbsup] Hey guys, I think the belly pan is there to cover up and hide an ass ton of ugly stuff... you seen an 848/1098 without their dress on... lots of plumbing and crap. My guess is they needed a place to hide it and thus the belly pan.

+1 on the bellypan. its an eye sore, I'd rather see the plumbing

+74 for black on black on black, but...

Anyone else think the tail sticks up too high? Makes me think of those European bikes that they were bending the back of the frames up like a scorpion. Perhaps a clean undertail exhaust would solve my opinion.

I see your point about the tail.  I too think the undertail exhaust or the termi shorty would look pretty good.

I like the belly pan (Am I the only one?) Without it that lower radiator would look really bad hanging down there.

Unfortunately the new clutch cover appears to be plastic. So that may either help any plan to cut out the slots or kill the idea, just depends how you feel about plastic on your bike.
