    I've the same on mine and the trouble is that r&g have made them with the holes...so you either have to put the stickers in or leave it empty. I put the swingarm one in but left the others empty and it looks crap
    I wish they'd just make it solid as they're almost forcing you to free advertise for them o_O

    I know what you mean about the R&G badge. Ripped the R&G badge off the hugger filled and painted. I like to choose what I advertise.:)

    That's a damn good lookin' bike BR1. I would normally oppose contrasting colour on a pillion cowl, but yours complements the tank graphic and the whole scheme. Well done. Black frame suits it too.

    Come on Bazz. You've been around. Women thrive on all things fake: breasts, lips, orgasms et al. You don't think a woman's going to change her time-developed traits just for a bike?;)

    Thanks Nigel. It’s been a bit of trial and error to get to this stage, but I’m pretty happy with it now. Funnily enough the first thing I got for it after a radiator guard was a red seat cowl.

    My first non learner legal bike and it's a big jump from a cbr500r, but best decision I ever made. I was tossing up between a 2018 and a 2016 model, but this just felt better to me.

    Another favourite from trips away.

    Coming back from Misano GP, complete with camping gear on the back. Bridgestone tyre had really squared off by this time but still had some tread left !

    Amazing trip that.

    Don't feel bad. There's some very subtle differences between the years.

    And then people go putting on Chinese fairings leaving us very little idea what year a bike is.:rolleyes:;)

    I've had a 2012 and now a 2015 and the only difference I've noticed is that the 2015 bike "groans" when parked up after a ride:)
