I am leaning towards putting a set of 55MM Yamaha blue tuning fork badges centered on the forward part of the tank. I have the little quarter fairing with windscreen as well freshly painted but I like the naked look. I doubt I will run it. I dont have a belly fairing...

Are you going to put decals on that or leave it white? Paint job looks really well done btw.

Done except for radiator cover...

New grips installed. New RH mirror installed. Fork Brace installed (Thanks John at Economy it is a perfect fit!) New gas cap, gutted of the evil locking mechanism and installed. Fabbed Petcock knob screw replaced with a longer one and self locking nut installed to prevent any uncommanded departures of said knob from the aircraft. Cheap on sale Nelson Rigg tail bag installed for the necessities of Dragon Travel for us older guys... It is a nice bag...

Nekid or Dressed as depicted???? I thought Nekid at 1st but the fairing is growing on me...

I'd keep the fairing.... I've always loved that look for the RZ.
