So I have been debating this for most of the winter but I am hesitant to pull the trigger. Right now I am at work so why don’t some of you help the day go by quicker and help me out. ![http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo65/maxwell8888/DSCN1901.jpg](http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo65/maxwell8888/DSCN1901.jpg) Here is a picture of my bike. I have seen similar bikes before with the graphics removed. I am usually a fan of clean, unique styling and I feel this bike lacks that tremendously. To be perfectly honest I don’t plan on keeping this bike much longer (maybe the rest of this season then sell)… but I was wondering if it’s worth it to clean up the body a bit. Oh BTW, I HATE yellow, but got a siqq deal on this so I couldn’t pass it up. -Should I remove some of the graphics and go with a simple yellow/black look? -Paint the tail plastics black? -Tombolin… I liked your idea with the chopped “gp” exhaust… whatya think guys?? **- Will this hurt resale wicked when I sell in a year or less?** Pchopppin and advice to clean up this bishhh. (I bought the bike as is…and so far the only thing diff from this old pic is a puig) Thanks fellla’s:tup: ---

Leave it alone… stock and clean/unmolested is always more appealing for resale. Chopping the can down a little bit might make it a little easier on the eyes though. If its never been down, ie. no damage, then dont do any paint work ---

With no intentions of holding onto the bike long term, extensive visual customization will absolutely hurt resale. However, little things may help… and yeah that exhaust is HUGE. I plan on upgrading to a 600rr, or 636 soon.(leaning towards KAWI) ---

Its a nice looking bike as it sits. I remember riding with you near the end of last season. I would leave it as is especially since it was never down ---

I would leave it as is especially since it was never down Yeah, it’s pretty damn mint. My brother pulled a Paulo in a parking lot though and put a few minor scratches in the tail and crankcase cover:(…nothing major though. Are you sure I rode with you? What’s your name? ---

One thing that bugs me is the “ebay” gold levers that came with the bike. God dammit they are awful. Maybe some black pazzo’s and a can chop and i’ll leave the rest alone this season… ---

Save the money and put it into the 636 you’ll get. Maybe get black levers and pegs then call it a day. You’re not going to offset your out of pocket costs with resale by doing all that right now. ---

If I decide to keep it for another season I may do a few more things to keep my interest. Edit: Thanks for the compliments on the bike guys… DBL EDIT: I missed your post willy… YES, the levers and pegs make me want to punch babies! ---
