Opinions, please!

Wheels polished - I couldn't justify a set of new wheels ( actually, I couldn't get it past the Boss!), so what do you all think?
I can't make up my mind about the Coerce Belly Pan; from some angles it looks good, from others not.........again, like it or not?
Waiting on delivery of Van's Pressure Plate and Triple Clamp, then who knows what?

Re: Opinions, please!

a couple more different angle shots will help with the poll, i voted keep it on as i did not see an " undecided " option. but that is one really nice lookin S you have

Re: Opinions, please!

WOW! Looks like chrome to me.... and it won't flake off!

I was expecting to say... they would look better flat black but those look nice

Re: Opinions, please!

Belly pan need trimming IMO

Trim the top to show more of the front head and round it a bit as the sharper angles don't really match the flow of the upper

trim the back of it to make it end where the frame comes down

Re: Opinions, please!

ZX10, thanks, I'll take up your suggestion & put up another angle.

Re: Opinions, please!

They make beautiful CF, just add some red paint to help blend it in.

Where has that bike been? that should be a monthly winner.

Re: Opinions, please!

Very nice looking S...As to the belly pan, it just seems to look a bit "chunky". Not sure why but just my .02$.

Re: Opinions, please!

Wheels look great... belly pan needs trimmed a bit or something. Looks big and bulky.

Re: Opinions, please!

Looks much better with, than without. I do think it needs some red paint to tie it in with the rest of the bodywork. If it were mine, I'd slap on a big SUZUKI sticker, paint it red, then peel the sticker to reveal the lovely carbon beneath.

TL's are bulbous and curvacious. Draw attention to that tait, rather than hide it.

Re: Opinions, please!

What I like about this Forum are the honest opinions; The reason I put up the picture is that I also think it looks a bit bulbous and clunky from different angles - as to trimming, I honestly couldn't trust myself to start cutting, I know I'd stuff it up!
Van paid a compliment, thanks but undeserved, there are too many other bikes way nicer than mine.
I'll put up another pic from a front view - see if that alters opinions!

Re: Opinions, please!

That angle looks much better. The CF (including the fender) is

Not sure why that one looks so much bulkier than some of the others?

I think the side shot, where the exhaust goes is so much lower, and looks "off" compare to the TLS exhaust lines... maybe that's it.

I like it overall... but I think it needs "something". Maybe Suprachrd82 suggestion?

Re: Opinions, please!

Dislike and take it off. But I say that about 99% of TLS lowers. Want a bike with a lower fairing? Buy a TLR. Want a bike with a bikini lower, buy an SV. The TLS has no lower

Wheels look great... belly pan needs trimmed a bit or something. Looks big and bulky.

Says the man with the lower that's so big it connects to the upper

Re: Opinions, please!

I think I prefer the SV mini-wedge.

Re: Opinions, please!

Maybe if you paint it to match the body?

[chriso]

Re: Opinions, please!

Paint itDid I hear you correctly, Sir? You should be taken out and given a good thrashing ( I love a good thrashing). Cover all that lovely, expensive C/F with paint - I don't think so
Suprachrd82 has a good suggestion; I may take him up on that one.
Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.
( just heard, Van's goodies on the way)
