Maybe I am blind, but it looks cosmetic ?

Is there anything that is going to effect the functionality of the bike ?

p.s What happened and are you ok ?

thankfully yes its 100% cosmetic (bar the engine covers)... i actually rode it 80km to get back home... im wanting to customize the look of the bike.

Do you work in St Albans area? I think I've seen your bike parked up (although I won't say where obviously).

Jeez, sorry you crashed, and that's a lot of rash! Glad to hear you're not too badly banged up tho. Get some new panels and paint it black? Or go for a naked upright...............

yeah cheers al. i do like naked's, but would a gsxr suit it? im thinking race rep decals

A naked Gixxer would need a lot of work to make it look decent. Yeah, keep it sporty

yeah.. id imagine there wouldn't be much room between the frame and the engine so a lot of components would be mounted outside the frame. wouldn't be very pretty.

That's the thing with pretty looking sport bikes.

Whats underneath is just jammed in where it is functional and most convenient, then covered in plastic..
