Should i paint the parts that are circled in red body color? i think it would look way better! and im also debating on picking up a rear tire hugger! thoughts? Here are a couple samples with all body color. let me know what you think! also has the rear tire hugger looks sick to me… ---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ---------- > [@maxwell](#): > > … on second thought just go with the fanny pack idea you originally mentioned… LOL > > x2 on the damper… the 636 is a phenomenal bike in the corners, but it truly benefits drastically from a damper.

Buy a $2 oven mitt and put the paperwork in there? I ride with an EMS backpack I have had since 8th grade. That makes it vintage ~92 Sucks for rain, but i would put text books in a plastic bag and call it a day. ---

Lol that middle bike is Tims, it’s an 03-04 though, different body style. But yeah, I’m all for painting to match, if you do get a hugger, keep it black IMO ---

yup^^, but when the bike isnt dirty, it looks way better without it, unless there’s water on the ground, my rear never gets ugly ---

> [@ubengineering](#): > > yup^^, but when the bike isnt dirty, it looks way better without it, unless there’s water on the ground, my rear never gets ugly this is true the last couple days there have been a number of unavoidable puddles that i hit… so maybe when spring/summer really hits it wont be too bad… > [@Coldaccord](#): > > personally I’d get rid of that bullshit exhaust and replace the tray. nah love my exhaust! and the tray isnt terribly important… i can keep all proper documentation in my jacket and i dont mind putting on a small pack for the emergency tools till i figure out where i can store them… Also wondering the prev owner said to get a special spray to clean the bike… anyone know if this is necessary? i think any basic cleaning product should do fine right? ---

I’m in the same position myself as to getting the black plastic by the front tire painted. I think I’m going to leave it though since I have a black and white contrast going on. For you, having it all match would probably look very good. ---

I think I’m going to leave it though since I have a black and white contrast going on. For you, having it all match would probably look very good. Probably referring to plexus, p100, or a similar spray on cleaner/wax. I’d just wash it like a car trying to avoid the exposed electronics. Some people I know swear by never using water and a soap bucket on their bikes. wtf ---

x2 on hating the exhaust. seems like practicality should come into play here more than looks. If thats your thing, more power to you I guess. ---

Maybe put it somewhere underneath the seat area? I know theres quite a bit of room under mine. If its easily accessible. ---

> [@TsiTalon](#): > > why do people hate this exhuast? just curious I’m not crazy about it either, but I also love the look of the muffler going out the back. I think it just looks good. Even on the 03-04’s with the exhaust on the side, I think it complements the look of the bike. There’s just some appeal of a nice looking exhaust, and so it’s nice to show it off. That’s just what I think. ---

Yeah and let’s be honest, he’s not looking for advice on it, right? Lol Btw my bike always gets washed with a hose and bucket of soapy water, and then a coat of wax. You can ask anyone around, you could eat off my bike it’s so clean. Screw that spray on nonsense lol.
