Nice. I like the approach. I'm going for function over form with any upgrades I do, with a little bit of subtle and trick but hopefully much better performance ie: Uprated brakes etc...

The LED conversion looks similar to one I got from Busters Accessories. I found that the holes in the replacement lens were too narrow and need to be reemed out, the fit was also crap. Also, the wiring instructions were wrong and had been reversed. ie the stop light was actually the tail-light and vice versa.

Lights from Jamie @ Project-R, all fit fine but just my original housing is buggered !

What I am after:

2005 Shape Carbon top nosecone with headlamp holes or another 2004 Carbon 749/999R top fairing to paint

Carbon Mirror Casings

Corse style rearsets as per Stu Eastons race bike

Braking or Galfer Wavey front n rear discs

Power commander & quickshifter kit

the riding ability of Greg Lavilla...LOL
