Looks great jonny!..although, I think it'd look even better if the tape was flush with the body.

You know where I can get something like that done? I hate the stock SL500 tails but I just can't justify $600 for the 55 ones, especially since I won't be keeping this too much longer.

Sick ridee!!! I love the color combination. Is this ur first bike? I just got my license but I dunno if I should start with a 600 or something less than that.

Be safe out there.
