cheers, i was pretty sure i would need to mod the frame, but as its going in to the coaters to bet the black treatment i was cool with that, airbox could be a issue, i think the 09 airbox is coming in about 50 notes, i had set a budget of 200 notes for coating and fresh plastics and graphics.. and thought i might as well update the looks a bit if i could, 04 and 09 plastics are more or less the same money same with graphics, i can get 09 graphics kit made to suit the later fender and the 04 tank ok, guess its just the airbox issue, did you take any photos of the subframe mod.s? cheers
