Don\'t want to offend anyone if the owner is on the forum but would these mods do anything? and are they home made?

Gman..

Yep the owner is indeed on the forum :D

The vents were done in Japan..so he may not be able to help... personal taste maybe... or maybe could help cooling?

Cheers

I like the wheels, bonnet no so much :D But it is all down to taste, i remember when i had my MS02s, some people loved em others hated them.

I was wondering about the bonnet as it seems a cheap alternitive to buying somthing like a scoot bonnet.

Am actually thinking of getting my standard bonnet vented somehow, will be looking into prospects soonish, did have a carbon bonnet but the colour didn\'t quite match the purple paintwork and looked well out of place so plan b  :Laugh

I think Tony did some sort of vent your own bonnet, looked and worked ok.

I\'ve got some \'custom\' vents in my bonnet, done by the previous owner in Japan.  I personally don\'t like them at all as they just look stuck on.  They do seem to actually do something though as you can feel loads of heat coming out of them after a run.  He didn\'t take the most care either, on the underside of the bonnet his cutting to make the holes is a right mess :spank

I did a mould for some GRP vents...... take a look at the bonnet on RXV8\'s motor. I can do a set for £65 + delivery if your interested in doing a DIY!! they should fit the other way around and go between the headlight pod and the bonnet hinge (over the inner wing accross the strut top!!) Let me know if your interested!!
