New pics

Well that's me just completed my first 1000 miles on the XTX.

Thought I'd post a pic of what it looks like now. Only things I've added so far is the red rim tape and a set of hand guards. I did also add the wind deflectors the other day but they're not in the pic.

I think the rim tape makes a big difference in brightening the wheels up and all for a few pounds.

I have started to notice the tail end though and can't help but think that it just doesn't look right. So things for the future are a set of cans and doing something different with the back end.

Suggestions please!

One more thing, I hate the red decal on the headlight surround.

Any ideas what I could replace this with. I'd like something similar in style to the decals on the tank.

Has anyone else done anything like this?

Not sure about the decals but a set of either chrome or carbon cans would just set that bike off and also make it sound proper

It'll be stainless when I finally get a set of cans. I done the carbon thing with the R1.

My only concern is that recently folk are saying that the MTC cans with the baffles are too loud. This might be a prob as I leave for work at 5.45am some shifts and don't come home until 4am some shifts.
