I like a tasteful mod or two, but there's nothing tasteful about the orange intake mesh, the belly pan, seat cowl and WTF is going on with that orange backed plate.

Don't get me started on that pipe cover.

I'd have bought it, then sold all that tat and spent the proceeds on drugs and hookers or something.

Some bikes just look wrong with belly pans.

It's like the original Honda Hornet, they more you bolted on the worse it got.

I don't know who designed that seat cowl, but I suspect they not actually seen the bike it was going on.
