I want to say that's a very old pic of Billy Awesome's bike and he had an r6 light on there. Not 100% sure though

That's hot. I like the overflow bottle. I think I'm going to do this.

hehe, I like the overflow bottle as well, but really their are so many different things you could use for an overflow bottle, good catch, but yes as soon as i get my bike back from my mechanic my tail will cut up.... if it dosnt work out as well as his did ill probably end up getting the R1 tail from airtech. thanks! p.s. if anyone has anymore pics of this creation or similar ones please post'em :headbang:

Didn't burn the paint or plastic at all? What type of bit?

BTW - it looks freakin' sweet. One of the best I've seen.
