The carbon bling bits will suit your bike.
I want a minimalist, stealth approach on my bike.
In a perfect world, I'd have the paintwork done in matt black or that Army matt colour, dark green.

One day......

Next is a custom PC3 tune.

mate..ur right.... my next step is PC3 and air filter and tune... (stage 2)

then i have stage 3 on the cards... bellypan, and the aforementioned carbon bits...

i had these plans from the day i bought the bike- but only now did i see urs ..i really love the way uve done it...

i was gunna black anodise the rearsets, and paint black the same stuff u painted (black, blue and red theme)... but since i went with carbon mirrors (as opposed to chrome/stainless) i decided to run with a carbon theme...

it all costs $$ tho...lol

deafwish the black looks great, I was thinking of getting carbon fibre replacement bits, but now I reckon I might go with painted instead.... it looks really good, my Z is orange so I reckon it should look good aswell

Just a thought, would the VHT engine enamel work on the under seat? Being hi temp enamel and the crap that happens under the bonnet, hoses rubbing, oil, fuel and crist only knows what else!

It is holding up well. Better than I thought, actually!
I don't like the finish, so I'll be doing it again, shortly.
