Awesome lower...just awesome.  I love everything about it.

Now guys you've got plenty of photo's of the tricolore with the belly pan fitted on both my bike and Mikes bike so please could one of you clever computer bods photo shop a tricolore design on the belly pan leaving some of the carbonfiber showing

That really does a nice job of minimizing the impact of the oil cooler...I like it!! 

Now for God's sake, get rid of that charcoal canister!!!

Prompted by suggestions from Statler, Geoff, Lazaurs 7, and Pompetta, I used Lazarus7’s instructions and removed these:

Which resulted in this appearance:

And the left side of the S4Rs looking like this:

When the belly pan (which also comes in fiberglass as well as carbon fiber) is photoshopped (as I understood Geoff’s request), it results in this:

Do you really think I should get out my heat gun and remove the reflectors from the fork legs?

[Statler]

Oh hells yeah (to the canister being gone...looks great).

I think leave the bellypan carbon...but that's just me...not my bike...



the reflectors just twist off if you want to remove them.

Sounds like you've done that before.

Where did you get the bolts?  My local hardware store only had M6 1.0 - not .8

I like the Tricolore scheme on the belly pan!    Ducpainter....calling Ducpainter....  

BTW, you can relocate the horn to one of the fan mount studs (behind the radiator shroud).  I've had mine relocated there for several weeks without problems.

By chance, I had them in my metric bolts collection (A good use of a miserable Winter day for me was to buy a bin with lots of little drawers and organize and label all that stuff that I accumulated over the years.)

Back to point:  Wouldn't a spacer or washers and lock washers allow you to use the M6 1.0?

[lazarus7]

yup, just put a lock washer behind it, voila....

bellypan looks best in plain carbon carstarphen, IMHO....
looks good w carbon canister gone, glad i could help....

Thanks! I will do that.

Not a photoshop wizard but heres another option...

Sweet bike Carstarphen.  I like what you've done.  That belly pan is the tits.    It does smooth out the lines IMO.  I always thought the oil cooler on the S4 looked a bit out of place and you've made it right on.

BTW - The reflectors should come right off with a twist.  You can use the hairdryer/heatgun method on the frame stickers if they don't come as easily.

dental floss shaves them off nicely as well, then clean up with WD40

[geoffduc]

nice try flanman it's starting to blend in with the rest of the bike

i'm holding you guys responsible for any paint cock-ups
