Cheers chipchap

GTIR, theyre a bit like a bike version of a lancer or an impreza. Boot ugly but a huge amount of fun to ride. Iver tried to make it a bit more sleek, but tbh theyre such an odd shape this is about as good as i can get it.

I guess.

But then so are mini-motos and I'd never ride one of those on the road, even if Liams mum was waiting for me with only a rose in her, er, mouth.

Piece by piece, over a long time of scouring ebay, ive finally got the whole of my xr supermomo kitted out in black plastics...

Nice...where's the carbon tank?

[VinceFox]

It's weird, it gets huge attention whenever i park it anywhere, even more than the blade does.

Carbon tank is still in workshop, i'll come back to it after ive mot'd her.

I bought some 4d vinyl??? off ebay and thought I could have a go at this out of boredom.

It's not 100% and I know its not real carbon but it wasn't £70 either.







I might wrap my chicken strips too.

Indeed. It looks tacky as fk in the pictures. I'll try and get a better pic in normal light.

Have you tested the bike since? does it feel much quicker?

[Yazza54]

Ignore em mate it looks alright, prefer real carbon mind you but it's not like you've stuck monster or relentless st all over it

Me too, it was £4. I can easily rip it off.

Rim tape ahoy.

That's a great photo !

The damage to my bike after a low side at Coppice at Donington yesterday




Scuffed paint/cracked fairings
Dented exhaust can
Worn GB engine covers
Worn plastic foot peg end bit
Worn bar end
Dented pride.

Not too bad considering it's quite a fast corner to come off at. Could have been a lot worse.
