Black rearsets, a CF can, and black powdercoat the rest of the exhaust... Could be totally sick and stealthy.

I was thinking the same thing, i think im gonan powder coat the all the foot controls and see how it looks, if i could trade the can for a cf one i would think about it. Im just gonna add a steering damper and a windscreen. and then its done (cosmetically) L )

You could powdercoat the whole damn setup. Probably the cheapest option other than rattle can... Pull off the Yosh badge and powdercoat everything a gloss black, then rebadge it. That could actually look totally money.

there are a lot of guys with 1125's that have done it and I haven't heard about any holes yet...

No, but I knew about it beforehand... I didn't care though cause my exhaust was fucked from the crash anyway.

I've heard the probs, same way you said, friend of a friend that knew a guy.

I'm thinking about it. See what this most recent flash did to the 1125 first... haven't put a mile on it since

Honestly... if my exhaust wasn't rashed up, I would have powder coated or ceramic coated it before doing the wrap... I think it looks better.... then again, the wrap sorta added to the brutality that was the Buell.
