Very sweet, WC -- much improved look (and some nice performance goodies like rotors, levers and brake lines). Have you had the suspension addressed by GPS yet, or is that still on the horizon? Can't wait to see it with a different set of cans on it. (Still voting TiForce from my voyeur's perspective.)

Dale,

It takes a keen eye to anticipate how seemingly small changes to the aesthetics of a composition will change that composition in a dramatically positive way. Nice job doing that here.

I agree, with others, a sticker-ectomy would seem to be called for. If you're fond of the logo, perhaps an alternative expression of that logo in a more subtle medium?

Props!

I hate to be a naysayer and all, but its just another 'Busa "pimp-mobile". Just like hundreds of others. They should change the logo to: "Eewww Yuck!" What are you guys getting all excited about???

BUT, if you ever need a place to hide it and someone to keep it warm in California, I would make room in my garage. :yahoo: :wubsmiley:
