Sexy gixxer backend

**GixerBoy** · 10th March 2005, 11:41

I don't know why the bike companies spend so much time designing good looking bikes and then go and put a big bit of plastic on the back, i cleaned the backend of my gixxer up here some pics, looks even sexier

Nice one.. I did exactly the same thing. Never understood why they do that, it just wrecks the sexy lines.. Look at how the exhust and faring now have complimenting lines to each other.. same with mine.
bad designers, stop it..

well done again, you'll get a lot more looks now

Just stick some smaller indicators on the back..

Because it keeps the road spooge off your back? :spudwhat:

Yeah, I know - it's just TOO big.
Trimmed mine on my VFR750 (but not right off) and it'd already been done on the VTR1000. I was about to tack another bit back on it, as the water/road spooge used to spray up the back and either on my back, or under the bag (if it was there) and run down the seat.

The one on the VifFerraRi doesn't seem to have been trimmed, but it's not too ugly, and keeps the crap off.

I did the same on my '91 F2 and I know heaps of peep shave been doing so for the longest time! You;d think the designers would have figured that bikers don't like them over-grown rear fenders and design them as such aye!?!

you have to have a reflector to get a warrant. spose tho if the testing guy is gonna be a dick about it just put one on for the warrant and then rip it off once the stickers on.

Very nice, yeah the lines do look better, good job

...wonder if I can mod mine?

Was glad when I got my NZ plate cause I didnt have to have the plastic piece to hold my inspection sticker. (for the states) Always hated that thing, looked ugly and got uglier the more I rode.

you can get a pack of two stick on ones from repco for 10 bucks that do the trick and are quite slim line so could prob be stuck straight on the plate!

Looks good nathan

I did something like that to the TL, involved a high speed 12 wheelie, only it got a little outta hand and took most of the back of the bike off instead of just the plastic thingee, oh well, live and learn.

When I changed mine it was planned and I didn't hurt myself, but your way was a quicker way of doing it
