Well I have finished the minor change of painting of the rims and adding a colour matched Belly pan.

For those Aussies. It is a pellypan made and supplied by Show & Go. I don't think it is the best I have seen but, mate it's ok.

Too expensive and poorly finished. $250 landed at home with a piece of glass that has to be finished, and no fitting hardware. Forgetting the cost of the paint it probably owes me $290 cash and about 10 hours labour to finish the moulding, paint and make brackets / mounting hardware etc. Fair enough, I wasted time braking bloody drills and taps making threads for the front mount, but still.

I do like the fact that it is higher than some and maintains the bikes ground clearance.

These first two photos are with and without. I think I like the with better. I can't entirely make up my mind about the colour. the metallic is really spectacular in the flesh but I can't help thinking it might be better red?

that looks sweet Sarg

Sorry bout today was a great day for it but the Mrs wanted my company I had to apologise to my TRX as well

Looks good sarg . I'm with you on the colour thing.Photo shop it red and see if it looks better, if not, nothing lost.

What brand of radiator guard is that?

Looks sweet as, my personal taste would be to have it red like the bike but that just me and it does look good as is . Paying that much and still having to finish it off yourself really sux, can't be too happy bout that (tho at least you can finish it to your own standards- which look pretty bloody high)

That bellypan looks very similar to the ones fitted to some Japanese import models.
I got one off Kev a while back. Painted it up and it looks sweet.

Thanks guys. I will consider the red, but I'm not sure I have the motivation now!! Also not sure if I can get the colour just right then that would look shite.....I think. I had to try out the new compressor on something

The radiator guard was a "me" fabrication. That is painted with the same system as the wheels and pan, just a real gold then cleared so it will look like that in ten years time I would expect.

Great idea but I dont have photo shop ...it's just something I have never got on to.

Like the model and size of the 'belly' , a job well done IMHO..

Who's the manufacturer and what is the modeltype ? Thanx

wow. i REALLY like it.. im with you tho sarg, the silver does look very nice against the rims, altho you cant help but wonder what red would look like.. might make it too much red overall, but could make the bike complete.

either way, looks fantastic !!

and as someone stated, what rad guard do you have there ?

good ol show n go come thru with the goods again !

Hi there BellyPan looks great Any info on your brackets. cheers Stephen PS I have recently purchased same B/P

Thats a powerbronze belly pan, one of the better types about,usually from the UK, however they list them here in oz as well,..not sure how much, but they are well finished and come with fitting brackets....seems like youve got a copy, all and good too as my origional is fibre glass as well.

there was a couple of powerbronze bellypans just like that goin on e bay recently Good buys for $120-$150 odd all up to your door...

That's one nice specimen of a TRX in the picture!
