So from this thread, S2R Face lift i bring you pics of the updated S2R, and yes i took the unpopular vote because it was my first choice, my gut, and above all my bike.
from this, stock with tail chop:


to this, after she took a nap in the street:


And now...FLAT...yes flatten clear!






Thanks DucPainter for the help with my questions!
I can't say i did this, as a friend of mine shot it in his garage. I got in the way enough to say i helped. I will take credit/criticism for the concept, and ultimate execution....

modified to replace with better pics, bikey still dirty though.

The flat orange looks good.  [evil]
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

The flat orange and older style lettering go well together!  Can I ask if you used a crankcase breather to clean up under the seat when you took the pods off?  I'd like to do that to mine but go back and forth with what I've read, so I'm trying to find options.

i think you mean when i added the pods, and yes i added the crankcase breather to get rid of the oil breather catch thing. I made a plate to relocate the coil and hold the rectifier to clean the entire area up. the tabs for the side covers were removed also before i had the frame powder coated.

Next will be new exhaust, haven't decided on one off custom, or take an existing aftermarket and modify it. I like the exhaust idea of the two shot-gun style pipes but not the routing of the pipes, i think i could do a better tighter job.

thanks

Thanks RB for the answer.  That tail looks good, and I like how you put the seat release key on the bottom to remove that from the side view.   [clap]

Looks great! But I can't believe you took it down to the frame and didn't do something with the spring...

thanks, the shock is getting replaced, and actually i didn't think about it at the, but that part is small enough  can coat it.
