Hi all,
Hope you're all getting some riding time in. I've been working on updating my 06 S3 while my back is screwed--the recent mods: Rizoma "reverse retro" mirrors, carbon fibre flyscreen, LSL frame sliders, self-shaved seat, carbon tank protector, Skyking tail chop kit, rear hugger, black anodized heel guards, and the best one--the M4 low carbon pipe with such a nice, loud, low, bassy, throaty (did I say loud?) note. I also want to blacken or relocate (sadly can't get rid of all together) the passenger pegs, maybe lower bars, tank bag, seat cowl, even lower seat height (?), and maybe blackened light buckets. Thanks for looking!
Ryan

Although it sucks you aren't riding due to back problems, you're making good use of you're down time.
The bike looks great. Hope you're riding again soon.

WOW!!!! That's exactly what I want to do!!!!

I really think that the White is the meanest color... It really makes the black frame and engine look better.

I'd be curious of how it will look with the black pillion hangers/pegs and especially the blacked out head lamp buckets.

I don't know if it'll be worth the money for me to have my Scorched Yeller made white, but I think that that'll be the final chapter in customizing the Trip-le. It looks great in the current color (better than the Jet Blk IMOA!) :hammer:

Again though, awsome bike!!!

All you need is a little green paint and it'll be perfect!! J/K! Looks great! I always did love the white... Then again I love the speedy in any color. I'd ride it in Nuclear Red if it's all it came in.....

I'm partial to white myself :P I like the contrast between the black and white, it's bright and clean looking without resorting to neon colors. it seems more limited for customizing than black IMO. If I had the $ I'd paint my white speedy black and have the frame and wheels painted red. I think that would look hot and unique.

Nice bike cal

Paint those radiator cowls black. Little sanding and some spray paint does the trick
