No pics yet

I've ordered, but not yet fitted, the large one at offtheroad.de. I'll post a pic when I get it.

I've ordered quite a lot of stuff and to be honest, I'm getting a bit miffed with my namesake at OTR. Called him for the third time last monday and he said there was a delay because of the painters holiday (this was in reference to the tanks). But he would send the whole thing either that day or the day after. He said I'd get a mail when the order was sent. Still haven't recieved a mail . Ordered the tanks, bashplate, windshield, crahsbars and hand protectors.

As for the bashplate covering the waterpump; it ofcourse doesn't cover it as in encasing it. But you can clearly see on the model photo that it extends out to the sides so much, that if you lay your bike down the bike will rest on the side of the bashplate, and not the waterpump. The small stock Yamaha skidplate only protects the exhaust pipes and leaves the rest of the engine ungaurded in a crash. But to be completely sure, you'll need engine crashbars. Bear in mind, that if you are getting a '07 model with the lambda probe, you'll need to either move the lambda or go with a 2in1 solution (which you are).

I'll ofcourse post pictures of the bike when I have it fully fitted. And also some detailed photos of each item. Plan to make a whole photoserie of me mounting the extra large tanks. I'm told it's rather hard to make it fit and work properly.
