[nzkalt61]

Oh yeah I see what you mean!!!:gob: My daughter shrunk the pictures I thort to less than 400 somethings, how many megapixals do I need just to fill the screen?

looks great...just wondering how you get on for a number plate light...i put an extreme graphics undertray on my TL and tried to get a wof without one but no joy,took ages to track one down but finally found a little led number plate light.

[qldzxr250a]

may be a silly question but how did you make the crash bobbin? be interested to make one for my baby..just in case u know....

[Dafe]

Here's a couple of pics of my bike.

Coincidently, it was your bike that I first saw in the flesh that made me drool and end up buying my bike. Back in it's Welly days.

My mods as listed.

Arrow exhaust with Power Commander.
Dark Tinted Puig Screen.
Tinted indicator lenses front and back.
Tinted headlight protector (Not often used)
Oggy Knobs.
K&N Filter.
Carbon Fibre tank pad & Crown protectors.
Braided brake lines - front.
Tail Tidy with 10mm LED Light.

Also note, the pic I included with the headlight on. It is infact with the tinted headlight protector.
These do actually still shine rather bright during the day, keeping you visible. Not ideal for night use though.

Now there's only one thing left that I want to do with this bike: Robert Taylor Ohlins.

Check out Uncle B's bike too. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=1381

Damn Dafe, looks awesome with that tinted headlight protector...probably not too practical I'd imagine.

[The_Dover]

I'm at the office playing catch up.

I just have a very idle mind. (and I haven't been wasted for weeks now!!)

[tomthepohm]

Try THESE (http://www.iceobarimports.co.nz/) guys Hellraiser.
Will cost between $10 and $15 for a pair of "white" LEDs...have a light blue glow and fully legal. Piece of piss to install.

Made a numberplate holder with a numberplate light and reflector. Should get a WOF now. The light is made from one of those little lights you see along the side of trucks and painted black where you dont want the light to shine, $6.00.

At what cost total? at what some people charge ie a few hundy for a fender eliminator maybe you could whip a few up for a little profit on the side, heck I know dover would prob be after 3 or 4 if he decided to upgrade his gixxer fleet.

[imdying]

Little bit of paint or powdercoat and that'll be blingin man! Top effort :)

[HONKEEE]

cool mod would be to grow some NUTS.

[thehollowmen]

That's nice. Have you thought about trying to get the metal numberplate holder painted?

Are ya gonna remove the pillion pegs to clean up the rear end?

Very nice though, a bit of number eight wire, you've got the kiwi spirit
