I ordered these from Daves dealership after a lengthy and exhausting ebay search. I'm glad I bought the new pieces after looking at the results. So what do you think? I'm considering changing the lettering on the airbox from amber to silver. Any suggestions? Pardon the AC delco oil filter.

BLACK AND RED BABY!

Kyle,
That's a nice, clean looking bike you have there. Do you still have the black air box cover and fly screen? If so, are you willing to part with them? (If you do want to sell them, I have dibs on them!)

Hey Kyle, If you were to change the lettering from amber to silver what bike do you order it off of? i want to order some silver decals for my bike but the dealer said that they need to know what bike and year it would be from because they had no way of finding it on their computerThanks

Aren't the Ulysses tank decals silver and black?

I have a black S and considered doing the same thing. The other additions for me would be black powdercoated wheels, red seat cowl, blacked out subframe, and a cheese-grater-ectomy. Something like this:





Forgive my photoshop skills...they are not up to Glitch's standards, but you can get the idea.

LOL, I love the AC/Delco oil filter! That'd look good on my CityX.

I had my rear tail powdercoated black, hopefully this will give you an idea of the general look.
Someone that is good with p-shop could put red on here for ya.

DTX,
The bike started life as a yellow one so all the plastics are brand new. I've already sold those too, though.

Dooley,
Yep, Jim's right. Actually both of the 03 S models have the silver decals. Yellow and Black.

Hanzo,
That seat cowl looks sharp!

Hattori_hanzo, Which brand carbon tail cover is that?
How does it install and are you satisfied with the quality?
From the Pic, it's the most attractive cover I've seen yet.

Not my bike...(unfortunately ) I can't remember where I found that pic, but it was when I was trying to find one myself. I know many badweb sponsors have them...www.trojan-horse.co.uk, Hillbilly-Motors, and Al at www.americansportbike.com to name a few.
