We'll see how load the original cored out cans sound in comparison

I chose this bike as it looks different. Didn't want to copy other guys on the forum, wanted something a bit different

Good plan mate, different is good
Just don't fit it with blue wheels and all will be well

I don't plan on fitting blue wheels, personally i think it would be to much blue on the bike. A mate of mine thought it was a suzuki He got a slap

Got ASV levers on, a shorty front brake and a standard clutch.

Fitted a tasty set of Akrapovic cans (I mean come on, what else is there?!!)

I'm not keen on the gold wheels, I think they are a bit limp wristed, (eh Baz). I still have my blue wheels from my 07 Factory, so am going to fit them and sell these ones.

**********************Update************


Right, I had my blue OZ wheels from my 2007 Factory just lying about and I couldnt resist fitting them to the 2010 Factory and I think it looks the biz!! I never really liked the gold ones anyway.

Opinions please:


Also fitted R&G can protectors (this ones a tad squint and will be sorted out tomorrow)


Had to have some R&G engine and lower protection too:


Whilst I was at it, I couldnt resit some bar-end protection too:


I also fitted some swingarm R&G's too, but never got any pics of them. After the scare I got from my 2007 getting written off from dropping it, I am not taking any chances!!

Note to admin, can we not have the site set up so the pics are re-sized automatically so they work on the screen please?

No! and I preferred the gold wheels as well!

Now that's a bonny Tuono

Nae for me kind a reminds me of when you have to put the spare wheel on your car that don't match look odds, just my opinion, apart from that cracking looking bike and anyway its what your happy with that really matters;)

Steve cracking looking bike, Isn't that the same bike as 'mpgscott' on page 25 of this thread.

Really nice bike, apologies but prefer the gold wheels. Wish I could get ASV's for my bike they look superb.

lovely looking Tuono, altho prefer the gold wheels too

Thanks for the opinions, but the decision has now been made. There was just too much gold with the frame, wheels and forks, that I was never really going to fall in love with the gold wheels. It was good that I had the option to change them and they are going to stay blue. The pics really dont do them justice, but at the end of the day its what makes me happy.















I thought more of you would have liked the blue though!!

So why did you add GOLD levers ????

I ordered them before I bought the bike.

are those the magnesium lightweight ones in blue arron? i like em but now i think yuor frame looks outta place , luv the bike tho... hope it uses plenty oil.... only kidding

Yes Kev, they are OZ wheels. The gold ones are OZ too, but they have a new home now.

Esp after ripping the p*ss out of my gold wheels for the last three months

Nice to see someone makin' it a bit different. After all the world needs 'different' people

Slightly off topic but do the mirrors work on the Tuono, the ones on my Brutale are not functional in the slightest over 50 as the mirror vibrates so badly you cant see anything!

thot i'd post updated pic of the gixer while i was at it,since the last one was a stock pic.


mini leds to compliment HID




fitted:
Titax gold shorties
yoshimura bar ends
custom wheel stripes
dark screen
HID headlight system
LED side lights
Carbon Akrapovic

Me too. Bit of a kaleidoscope of colours there with the blue.

Other than that she looks a beauty.
