well here is my m2, had it a coupla years was the blue for a while, then matt black now gloss.... i liked the matt black so not long will be goin back... i was lucky to score it mostly done with the wheels chromed, the forks, the hypercharger etc, needing a tidy up as i ride it more than i clean it....http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v261/122/69/624897613/n624897613_579138_5382.jpg

OK DD, I'm impressed. Nice tuber mate.:happi:
Very nice indeed. Forgive my ignorance, are those original pipes? They don't cross over, and look SWEET

cheers mate, im after a few bits for it, i want to put chrome cam cover/ primary covers on... i got a staintune muffler but i wanna louden things up a little more, in the process of making a 3" slash cut muffler with a big twin baffle in it. still asking a few ppl bout the backpressure and what effect it will have on the bike.. also in the process of putting the shorter lightning seat and fender on...
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME CLASS
SWEET BIKE Davo!! , like the flames looks great, you should polish those tripple clamps too, dead easy.
And :thwelcome-4::thwelcome-4:by the way feel free to insult XB owners they love it.
It might be difficult to put an S1 front gaurd on it tho, they only fit USD forks.
And Yool they are the original pipes, 99's went to under the frame pipes

Hmmm, another flying spaghetti monster...at least mick an' LT will have someone to wan...., err, talk to, now. :errr:
All jokes aside, :BIG: to the madhouse mate, you'll find lots to amuse yourself in here. While you're doing it, ya might even get a chuckle out of the rest of us.
:grin:
I've got a black manta tank off an S3 that will fit, but its for a EFI , just needs a petcock fitted and remove pump and block the holes. do a swap if your interested :grin:
Yool, they wont fit an XB, or a post 98 as the rear pipe hits, the frame tho some have fitted them .
