Emoving's right - the livery comes that way with this model year (same as when Nicky Hayden won the AMA championship). I "tweaked" some of the decals to match the mods (there's a guy 15 mins away who does custom work so I had him make what I was looking for). Originally the Livery package comes with "Dunlop" decals and "Jardine" decals to advertise for the tires and exhaust that Nicky ran but I changed them to "Michelin" and "Sato Racing" to match what's on the bike. I had him cut the "michelin" in Black and "Carbon Fiber" and am using the Carbon Fiber for now (I also put the "Michelin" decals on the wheels and the "showa" decal on the forks) and not pictured was a "race bump" that I added yesterday.

The previous owner threw a lot of money at it (a lot of the parts can no longer be bought because they don't manufacture them anymore).

Here's the list of mods he did:

Sato "bonzai" exhaust and Power Commader
Sato Rearsets
Kevlar brake and clutch lines
15/41 gearing with 520 chain
Ohlin's rear shock and Ohlin's internals for the fork
Scotts Steering Dampner
Speedo Corrector
HID lights
Flush mounted turn signals
Flapper valve mod
updated switch gear
CRG levers
Hotbodies undertail with LED lights and integrated turn signals
HRC racing compound pads

Once I saw that list, I didn't hesitate. . .I almost forgot - 2600 miles

LOVE THE REPSOLS ALSO (can you say Nicky Hayden again
