Very nice job Joe! :Rockon:

Were there any issues with the lower cowl and the full Yosh pipes?

Yes, it actually melted to the pipe the first time I had it out. Ended up cutting away about a 1/16 of an inch with a file so that it didn't touch the header.

That is good to know if I ever want to put that system on the bike. Thanks!

She looks GREAT! :yes:
 
Does the belly pan come with the YAMAHA decal on it in gold?

OR is that the one you had made? I like the ones on the rims... IF you can get those also I would want those along with a Radiator guard lol..

Shoot me a PM with details!

Bike looks freaking sick btw!

Here are the chin fairing decals, my current gold and a carbon fiber on my silver 06.

How tall are you? How would you compare the Medium cut speed screen to the stock screen? Do you have any head buffeting going on with the medium height?

Also what rear sprocket is that? Was that the gold version of this...?

STEALTH/RK 520GXW Chain & Sprocket Conversion Kit - YAMAHA - Sprocket Center

I am 6 foot, the medium screen doesn't catch as much air as other but in my opinion looks so much better. I had a Puig on my 06 (pictured above) which was better at deflecting air, due mostly to the height difference. The CD screen is better at deflecting to the side because it is wider, but yes it does slap you a little more but after awhile you get used to it.

The sprocket is a Supersprox, I did a 520 conversion when I replaced my 17t with a 16t. I left the rear stock 45t and went with the gold DID chain.

SUPERSPROX USA

This is the setup...

520 rear Supersprox 45t
520 front Renthal 16t
520 gold DID chain
