Mate, that's incredible. What a machine and your 3XV gets in shot in those pics too, thereby doubling the jealousy factor.

Where the tank is concerned - i'd just get that one fixed. I once low sided my bike on a gravelly road - the NSR slid along on its side and went filler cap first into the curb. It looked like someone had dropped a concrete block on it from a height. The filler cap was pushed way down into the tank and i, naturally, thought it was scrap.

I took it to my local car body paint and repair dude (at a friend's recommendation) and he got this slide hammer tool out which spot welded itself onto the surface of the tank and by use of the slide hammer part, the guy pulled the worst of the deformation out and got the filler cap in the right position again. Then after a bit of filler to smooth things off and a re-spray, the tank looked as new again. He even got that raised lip around the the filler cap to look right - everyone who saw the tank after the crash was amazed. As was I!

Are the wheels on that bike lighter than the standard SP Magteks?
