Side Corse Stripes on 1st Gen Hyper - Lots of Pics
I loved the side corse stripes since I saw them on the Pikes Peak Multi. They of course look great on the new 2015 SP HM, so I set my mind on trying them on my 1st gen hyper.

Did not want to paint the original side fairings, so I bought a carbon fiber couple. You can only tell they are CF if you look from the top.

Side stripes seemed to flow towards the tail, so I decided to extend the painting to the tail wing also.

Bought a used subframe on eBay and painted it red.

I like carbon fiber fork guards but prefer the way the red ones look.

Looks absolutely amazing! 
I really like it a lot. It looks just like an edition that could have come with from the factory. Really looks sharp.
Nice work and good taste! Thanks for sharing the photos, you've got a very appealing bike all around.

Looks good ego, can you tell me if that Lusuardi license plate bracket provides an protection from road grime and spray when riding in the wet?
Thank.

It does little protecting as it is. Lusuardi provides a CF mudguard that can be installed with it, but I didn't like the way it looked so I sticked with a minimalistic approach.

I did not use any commercial graphics. Just 3M Polyester Green Tape for masking.

Before and after
Here is the official picture of the 2008 1100s compared to my hyper.
Paint is the most notorious mod (tank, fork guards, tail wing, rear subframe and rearsets).
Other noticeable mods in this picture are:
- Chopped and cored exhaust
- CF exhaust valve cover (servo has been removed with race ECU but the tube with open valve is still there)
- Lusuardi racing license plate holder
- LED turnlights (noticeable because they are no longer visible form the side)
- OEM Foot peg sliders
- CF tank cover
- CF front fairing cover above headlight (hard to perceive from this shot. Have just placed it this weekend)
- SC Project oil cooler
- Streetfighter clutch cover
- Ducati Performance enduro handguards and mirrors

Nice comparison! It definitely puts the work that you've accomplished into perspective.
I like the shortened exhaust and the absence of a license plate hanging off the tail go hand in hand. The combination accentuates the rear tire and gives it an even more compact look. The style sort of reminds me of the new MV Agusta Dragster.
Keep up the great work fellow 1st HM enthusiast!
