Radiator under the seat would require major plumbing which would have to be routed around the exhaust and under the seat.  Regardless, that's far beyond my capabilities.  It would be cool though. 

There was a member on TOB who had a custom radiator that was a little thicker and longer, but a few inches narrower than the OEM unit.  I still have his contact info.  The bike that radiator was on is still one of my all time favorites.

Your bike looks great the way it is now.

I liked it when it had the Termi cans on it.  I've kinda kept up with your bike.

I guess my thing is how does it go, handle, feel, not how does it look.  When I consider how does it look, it's how does it look to me, not to someone else. 

What does the belly pan do but add a little (very little) weight?

Protects the starter, I suppose (This is only from minor road debris like pebbles).  Over the years:









I dunno, I have one cuz I think it looks good.

Maybe, but they're different bikes.  Two-tone might be best...I really should learn to use Photoshop.   Undecided

I've set the suspension up for my weight, I like the riding position/geometry and I'm satisfied with the power/delivery, so for me it's just about tweeking the look of the bike.

I'm still unsure about the bellypan, but regardless it's an easily reversed mod.

Thanks guys for the thoughts/discussion and pics.   Smiley

If you like the look of the bellypan shown here, but want a tad bit of change to it, the Ilmberger Carbon one has an extra "naca duct" on the front lip. But.... Its crazy costly. ($400 USD)

haha, i was on an adult league softball team one time that had feisty, frothy pitchers as the logo. needless to say, we may not have won all the games, but we had a lot of fun.

I really like the bike pictured above, especially the tail and color scheme... The headlight is just a little much for me. But it is very well done and unique, so I wouldn't be like "crap. here comes THAT guy again"

Color the spokes and leave the outer rims black. I always think that makes the tires look ginormous. (technically speaking)

Well, Rameses brought over the Monza bellypan, and it won't clear the BoomTubes, so it's a no go.

On one hand, I'm bummed 'cause I like the look, but on the other hand I just saved a few hundred dollars.   Grin
