    here ya go dino, this mornings efforts, alloy painted black after the dusty butt i might try using it as a mold to heat some dark perspex over it to this shape. It transforms the bike at 100km, no bufferting and less wind noise in the helmet.

    the tail light were on sale at supercheap and modified exhaust bolt as a luggage tiedown point.

    Awesome - that guy should wear a cape and an S on his chest. Imagine that sort of pace for hours on end?

    Well worth the effort!!!! After the dusty butt i'll look at it as a plug to make tinted perspex ones so 1000km of testing if they are up to the task. I'm going to be riding with other BRP owners so will have to get them to evaluate its merrits. Matts one is higher and Col's bikes standard so be interesting to get them to ride my bike.

    As a side note for lighting, I'm running a LED stop Tail and brought a 45/45W headlight bulb from Hampton Honda down here, effectively got 25% brighter headlight and with the loss of the tail light the current draw is simular. The BRP has a glass semi sealed beam and is a much better light than the earlier 600's. As dirt bikes go i dont think the headlight on the pig is too bad.

    yeah would be good to compare XR set ups and stuff, i dont know any XR6 owners up here to compare and get ideas of.
    you could even try the LED indicators to bro they only 1w compared to the factory 5w.
    i had the led tail but it didnt have the white plate light and it looked daft, i might try one of these LED tail bulbs going from your idea i should be able to get it down 10 or so watts and put another 10 in the lamp Name:  hmmm.gif
