new look for darling nikki

[twoguns]

so... been bored with the buell look. not a fan of em in standard trim.

yeah yeah, been talking about selling. even have a buyer... sorry mick (and lazza), but after a ride a couple of days ago, i just cant bring myself to part with the ol XB. damn fukers are addictive. they just get into your blood stream.

anyway, rode it around for a morning like this... jsut had to see what it was like. i removed the black plastics. was certainly fun.

a 'true nakid!' :grin:

That's what i call fuckin art!!! Nice work...
Sounds like she's idlin' a bit slow? I counted 932 RPM... ?

[Graveldick]

I think you'll find it was 964 Lost biker.:hehe:

Nice job with the make over Wes. Looks kewl. :Thumbsup:

Looks good. Loose those big arse blinkers and do something with the screen hole though, just dont look right. Even a mini screen like you had would look better than a hole. it looks imcomplete in an ugly way if you know what I mean.

[twoguns]

i actually have a set of nice mini blinkers for nikki. have had them since emma. but i actually dont mind the tinted buell indicators. also i laugh when i see em flapping on idle.

i prefer the no screen look. if i chopped a screen down, it would be real small... more so than when done for jemma. i chopped the screen to follow the sub frame. am looking for smaller mirrors now. maybe some from an old xb9 (zx6r).

wesmond you have a disease:grin:your a sick puppy mate,I get up my daughter for changing her room around all the time,but she's got nuthin on you Wes:hehe:Oh and by the way she do look nice.

[StuNVA]

[yool]

Kewl,smart thinking:hehe:

[mick]

Looks good wes , is that silver or white?, still reacon Jemma looked the best tho , mean as:bite:

[twoguns]

i liked jemma's look too...

if someone wants to swap xb9 wheels (screen too if bolt) for my amber ones, then i have another option up my sleeve.
