Yep I'm pretty happy. The Muzzy was the look I was after.The bar end mirrors are heaps better, and I ordered an MRA spoiler screen and Radguard yesterday :oops: Aesthetically I don't think I want to change much else, although the MR Wog seat with the Green piping is a happening thing. He's got a couple of spare seats coming in a couple of weeks so he's keeping one for me.

Then that's it, I'm not changing anything else.........for now :)

Oh and in the photo below you'll note the Greg Couch fork brace, (thanks to Phil and Shauno) 8)

See I told you I was going to leave it pretty stock :oops: :)

*edit* Oh...and the horn relocator bracket, the KWICK fuel tap and the starter chain tensioner mod to come then that's it...........for now :)

Those front rotors don't look standard either. Or the Gazi shocks, so it's getting less and less standard. :lol: .... and you WILL do something about the front end eventually. ;)

I haven't given it a good fang yet. I thought it felt a bit nicer mid corner but that could be placebo effect. What the hell though, it looks cool :)

Well spotted :oops: There's also the mini blinkers on it and Braided lines will go on as well at some point.

Don't worry, I'm thinking about selling the tracky. That'll provide some handy proceeds to put into the Rex improvement fund :) For what I'd get for the Gumby I could probably end up with Gold forks ;)

I like it, if I sold all my other bikes except the dirt bike I'd like to get one of these, it would look pretty good in the garage. :kuda:

Pure addict! Selling off possessions to support the habit :D

Have to see what happens with the new full circuit. If it turns out to be awesome then you'll need a trackie

So I can throw $500 into the wind for an average of 5 x 20 min sessions per day. I'm a little over it......I might look at something a little dirty later on. :)
