    Cool Had a play in photoshop

    I'm getting a RGV race single seat rear cowling on monday, so thought i would photoshop one in, my side fairings are in crap nick at the moment so i just found some pics on bikepics.com and had a play in photoshop,

    Do you guys think it looks anygood...

    I'm thinking something along the lines of an led tail light possible 07 zx6r...hung underneath with some oxford triangle indicators and a plate.

    Instead of hacking into the fiberglass to put some lights in...might give it a more racey look?

    Both stock ...and photoshopped pics below... first pic is stock bike, 2nd pic is with rgv tail photoshopped in, 3rd pic is with the numberplate hanger and indicators taken off. with an rgv tail.

    Cheers: Mark

    Mkay, i reckon, go led and get the RGV one, get a good paintjob on it, cut the numberplate holder down a bit, make it smoother etc and get small indicators

    Awesome rugby game, Mark, you should have done one of two things....

    A) watched the game coz we kicked ass!! WOO HOO

    B) got laid.

    At this hour ya being a nerd!!! Might have to start calling you phenwaa soon if you aint' careful!

    I think rather than have indicators use an integrated tail light, if its a race rear.
    My bass is such a slapper.......I cant stop fingering those strings

    Sorry Folks. Standard looks better to me. The RGV sorta looks strange/too big. But that might just be the photoshoping.

    Yep, what he said...

    Also, beware of making it too unique, as it might go against you should you ever want to resell...

    For the sake of interest, I had a little play too. I figured the only thing ruining the RGV tail for me was the colour scheme.

    Maybe these will help with your decision.

    RGV tail with matching paint job I think would look excellent. It's pretty much the same as the original except for the line under the seat which lifts it up. That tail light system looks cool but I don't think the triangle shape would suit the tail, a squarer style would look better.

    Although, a single seat isn't going to help you get laid...
