If you get it, make sure to post up some pics. I'm curious to see what it looks like mounted on your bike.

Maybe get your rearsets powdercoated black and a black or carbon fiber slip on and that thing will be insanely clean. Otherwise, it's coming along nicely.

Paint schemes mainly. I'm guessing there wasn't much done in the motor part except maybe emissions. Also the European versions come with a different key because they have a chip in their keys so that if the bike is stolen it can't just be started by anybody.
I will post the difference in keys later today.

It's really cheap. A hell of a lot cheaper than getting aftermarket rearsets. Look around and hopefully you'll find a place that does it. I had mine done for about $50 on my '07. If you got the extra money, get aftermarket rearsets (most aftermarket one's you can adjust how you want your feet to be positioned).
