    my bodywork is ugly, and i work on the damn thing so much, i'm considering leaving the sides off for good. from around noon till 3ish, i stickerbombed the hell out of my bike. i plan to get more stickers and fill in some gaps, and maybe take the front fairing off to do a better job of filling every little gap and trimming it to perfection.
    it's far from perfect, but what do yall think?

    I am at a loss for words. If you change your mind you can use a hair dryer to loosen up the stickers!

    Yeah, it’s not so easy on the eyes.
    I’m going to see how it holds up, and if i dont like it, i’ll peel it all off.
    I was considering wrapping the bike with the side panels, but i am not exactly bursting with cash for a professional job. I may eventually do it with a friend that has experience in that area.

    My 2 cents.. if you are going that route you need more stickers. Go all the way to the edges, around them, and it will give it a cleaner/finished look. Just make sure coverage is 100% and it will have that wrapped look.

    Actually not a bad idea. As in the pictures above, when it is completely done, it does look finished, vs slapped on.

    Oh, at least! You better upgrade your clutch though. I'm not sure it can handle all the powah!

    I do love the power this bike has. When i’m telling people about it, i like to compare it to my old, heavily thrashed ‘94 miata. That thing did some crazy stuff, and this bike has a higher hp rating than that car.
    I know modern 600’s have more, bit i dont have a modern 600 :)
