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?

That bike looks perfect to me. Very nice indeed.

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

looking good bud. black and red always look smart.

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.

Short shift. My akras are mega loud and I also work unsociable hours, just ride quiet ;)

Looking good...
 

Almost perfect, just need:

1. Shiny cans

2. Mirrors

3. Tail tidy
