My TDM850

Post by alec »

Hi Guys and Gals
have spent a few more hours sorting the tdm out, gradually getting it to how i want it.
here's a few pics to show the work done so far. constructive comments are always welcome.

this is how it looked when i got it, hated the yellow and bullet hole stickers but it was the bike i wanted,
Image

first job was to make a vario screen (which i soon remade better)
Image
Image

then it was time to change the colour scheme which i decided to do matt black for a stealthy look lol so i sprayed the front mudguard and seat panel.
Image

finally got round to doing the nose cone and side fairings last week but am stuck on the tank colour scheme.
Image
Image

and yesterday i applied some graphics and decided to turn the exhaust into a stubby, sounds awesome.

i hope i haven't bored you to much but the bike is my pride and joy and thought i'd share all my hard work with you kind people.
cheers

You've transformed that. B) Indicators junked for slim ones on the fairing and minis on the back? Number plate hanger junked for something slimmer? Bar ends painted? Wrap on the headers for that racer look? All ramblings :)
