ermmm what have i done Laughing

needed something to use this summer and seeing as the mito wont be ready i seen this and thought it would be fun,and it was cheap too!
and i like the styling Cool

02 reg with 10k on the clock,rides really nice,so much more comfy than the mito
plans are just to tidy it up then maybe give it the mrs when the mito is finished,might keep it for myslef tho Laughing

not had to do a thing to it at all Cool

well the planet now looks a lot different

its now white and red,fitted a later mito evo front mudguard and did a tail tidy aswell
fitted a normal mito exhaust because as much as i love the style of the standard silencer it weighed nearly as much as the bike!!!!
and when youve only got 25-28 bhp every bit of weight counts Laughing

mot,d last week but not been used since as the throttle cable snapped half home from the mot Evil or Very Mad

pics up on the weekend

Nice choice of mods grellow - simple but effective. Amazing the difference a change of colour and some 'tidying' can do! Thumbs Up

Thanks

I do think it looks better now,a little bit modern cafe racer
Would like to do a solo seat from a Ducati monster but that's still an idea in the back of my head!

Not too keen on the mito rear ends on a planet tbh
Going to be Ducati monster with a solo conversion I think

The tail tidy I did myself,really easy to do and Cost nothing
The exhaust does sound tinier but I think it actually sounds better

With the mito exhaust how did you get it to fit? all the silencers I can find are 4 bolt fitment whereas the planet is 3? would you sell the bike as it is or split it and sell standard?

you need to fit a mito expansion chamber aswell as they have four bolt fittings
or you could always redrill the planet to four studs

if i sell it i will let it go as it is but with standard parts included
really dont want to part with it tho Sad

ohhh right, aww my exhaust is already full power i was hoping i could just slip a new silencer on it, im gonna attempt to do a tail tidy on mine this week, how did you do yours?
your bike is pretty much how i'd planned mine to look, so its a good incentive seeing how nice it can look when i've finished!
