Nice, Wiper. Welcome...

Perhaps Dougan can you help you with a mono-chromatic conversion. I hear he is selling "Vader" kits...

Welcome aboard Wiper!

By the way, are you the "Wiper" from the CBR forum?

Oh, and what cans are they?

I've just moved from an R1 to a matte black '07 Tuono that looks just like yours (except with the amber turn lenses--for some reason the EU gets the nicer looking clear ones). It was a great move; no regrets at all.

Congratulations and welcome!

And my vote for first mod is crash bungs. Just in case.

I used to have a CBR, so joined a few years ago. A lot of my bike mates i've met thru that forum, i lurk mostly, checking the ride out threads, and also went on the trackday at Donny.

And the 15 tooth sprocket. I've been a different rider since I had mine fitted.
BTW (everybody probably knows this, so I'm just airing my ignorance), but the grey strips on the matt black peel off fairly easily (so they tell me), if you want a bit more black.
