Oh thanks,  now I have to deal with that too. ;)
'07 S4RS and '04 998 Matrix.  Because sometimes I feel like a monster, and sometimes I don't.

Not to knock your project but you're starting to get kapakahi with a single stripe on the tail, triple center on the belly pan, offset triple on the fairing.  Slow down a little maybe?  I don't know, just thinking out loud...

BTW I'm enjoying the "skinny girl of the moment" avatars.

He might be adding a new front fender with stripes on it too.   ;D

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Yeah,  I agree....I am just trying to find shapes & colors that work together.  The rear is a triple stripe.
The belly pan triple is a different size, sides stripes are larger :-\...looking for the correct size for the BP
All these pieces are on & off ....like underware!!

heres some cockpit & side view shots



My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

All he's going to need is stripes on his helmet...

IMO the black bikini looks better than the red will  [thumbsup]  (we'll see)

If you get nicer front turn signals, I think you're pretty close to more than one thumb up

[beer]...I totally agree!!
I can't believe no one  else has brought the turn signals up...BTW I have new ones on the way [Dolph]
I really think I am going to like the red 696/1100 bikini fairing better than the black...we will see  [popcorn]
& get everyone else's opinion too

re S4RS fairing ...not sure.  will see how it sits against the DP gauges [roll]

Nice top triple.  [thumbsup]  I always thought about getting them, but after I find out how much they are and rest of the upgrade, I am happy with the stock handle bar.

See, I like the stock turn signal. They aren't really that bad looking compared to anything else and especially the later turn signals. They work real good, i.e. you can see them, others can see them and they are legal. Not a bad package overall.

The newer pictures of the bikini fairing don't look half bad.

[Slight thread misdirection]

So Cycle Cat is back in operation again?  I love(d) almost everything they made, but I don't know how they keep going out of business.  Unless they confused 'super business model' with 'business super model' and have been paying some leggy blonde $9 million a year to wear a gray pantsuit around the production facility.
