Just got my bike back on the road after 3 months off with a spankin new paint job, also put a new exup servo motor on cos the original one has never been 100% (1999 model ) and in the last 2 weeks it has totally lost the plot, but now **** me it wheelies of the throttle in 2nd and the mid range is brutal..

I should have some more pictures as soon as the spray shop e-mails me them, there is a yellow stripe with blue pin stripes just inside it which runs over the top of the tail, tank and mud guard. And there is yellow running up either side of the screen which fades out towards the top, but where the paint fades from yellow into blue it passes through green very slightly because as we all know yellow + blue = green, its just visable in this picture but looks great in the flesh. I"m glad you all like it, I do

What kind of covers are those over your lights?
Thanks

The headlight covers are clear ones that we sprayed blue inside and on one of them we stuck a round sticker and once it had been painted we peeled the sticker off leaving a circular clear lense in the middle of just one cover , it looks purposful

The exhaust is a devil can that was in a crash it had about 3 or 4 inches taken off it then put back together, it sounds deep and boy does it howl higher up the revs, pops ,farts and flames on the over run.
