changes for the ER-5

[Saki]

I basically got the same bars as Neka. Keep the belly pan black. If u want to make a "tougher" ride then go the renthals, they give u 100 points of instant streetfighter cred. Prob just change the headlight also, you could try a stock Z setup or otherwise get something aftermarket ?

Those bar-end mirrors look pretty tidy there corvus

yeah, for the headlight, im thinking something like this, but in black (lower mount would be removed, and the sides would be used to mount it onto the bike with pretty much no modifications) some re qiring would be required



but that may change, all depends on how patient I want to be, If i want black, looks like my only option seems to be ordering it from the states
Id love to go a zeddy stock setup, but i fear $$$ may get in the way (anyone got any ideas on how much a zeddy headlight assembly would be worth?)

also, may not be bothering with the screen, I've been adjusting to riding a nekkid, and im starting to like it as is.

the bars arent so much for the look, its more of a position thing, currently I feel like I'm a bit between a sports position, and a touring position, and i think just a little bit forward will change the ride quite alot(not sure if for better or worse yet) but a tougher look is always nice if i can have it too

well,

some prick had the courtesy to knock over my bike today and leave it there with no note or anything

so im in the market for LED indicators, and bar end mirrors (again)

and now i have to try and get scratches out of my exhaust

[gpxpunk]

looks sweet, maybe i should have looked at one of these, but then again i wasnt aloud to get a naked.

new exhaust dude!!!

[corvus2606]

new indicators on, and the bar ends off. now i have to buy new ones again

New Exhaust Dude!!!!

hmm...

[gpxpunk]

makes a difference with a new exhaust.

[corvus2606]

makes a difference with a new exhaust.

yeah, still thinking ill hold off on any performance mods(inclding exhaust) till im off restrictions, and maybe on a bigger bike in the UK once i make the move

[corvus2606]

OK

after a LONG wait, the bellypan is finally in the country (thanks for letting me know it was on the way amc[/sarcasm])

replacement bar end mirrors are en route too

my bike is now graced with a set of black Tag flatbars. they could not make a more positive difference to the handling, it just wants to tip in now(with my weight shifted forward, and the slightly wider bars, much more responsive)

also considering changing my grab rail to black to go with the bellypan

Ill put up a photo when the new bits are on

[corvus2606]

belly pan is on.

Ill post up a new pic when bar ends arrive

[corvus2606]

finally updating with new pics

put *another* set of bar ends on today thanks to my forgetting to use locktite last time

got the belly pan fitted, with CR stickers down each side. new TAG bars and started fitting the blue LEDs today.
