The painted one looks like a bit of a rangi job, i'd ask for my money back on that...!

(serious answer = (a) but only if it's a good paint match otherwise it'll stick out like plastic dogs balls).

I would paint the white and red stripes and instead of the green I would keep the carbon fibre visible.

Sweet bike!

Not sure about any to be honest, the bike looks brilliant without a bellypan.
But, if you really really want one on it, then, painted, the black looks like a clubbed foot.

the red and white (and a little green) makes it look too 'yamahahahaha'

Theres an idea....but 1/2 painted 1/2 CF may look odd....Thoughts?

Has plenty of CF already...Painted would make it more my own IMO....

To my eye it looks a little untidy and lacking below. Until now I had not found a belly pan that fits just so....

Looks good, I had been looking at those and other pans as well but they did not fit with the testeretta deep sump or visually suit the S4Rs with the small triangle oil cooler.

In the pic, the CF pan matches the CF tank nicely.

Going by the poll, looks like I will be ordering the Pan....still to decide on Paint vs bare CF....or a little of both...

That must be whicked ride mate. My race bike only have the normal testastretta engine, not the deep sump , and is rated 124hp.

The deep sump is closer to 140hp, I think. :woohoo:
Maybe the monsters are different

Carbon.
There is a very tidy one of them at Casbolts in Christchurch presently.

It has all types of extra goodies - carbon fibre all over, Rizoma goodies, pipe etc. Bloody yummy.

OK where's the pics?

In idle moments I contemplate such mods. The fibreglass ones are not at all expensive (until you come to paint them?) but I saw a carbon one which looked the biz. Can't find it on EBay now.

I expect it will be finished this coming week...will post pics as soon as I can....(I will not get to see the finished product for another 2 weeks)

This one came from Riding House in Japan....

I love it. It looks fantastic, I have just bought a S4RS and find it awesome. I also have been thinking about getting a belly pan. Can you post the web adress o where you bought it from please, I want to contact them?
