hi all as you may or may not have known i have been waiting for my fuoco/ Mp3 500 to be delivered.

it final got delivered on friday night and the only time i have been off it is when im asleep.

ive fixed all the known issues with the bike and i just cant believe how responsive and how much torque it has..

I previously had a 2007 aprilia rs125 which was modified with a new cdi and arrow race exhaust and that was quick to say the least.. but ive rode this against it and this beats it hands down off the line and up to 75 mph..

i will post some pictures of it when ive completed my modifications because it is currently in pieces at the moment..

List of whats being done:

Rear Grabrail being chromed,
having a newmount for the handlebars being made because i dont like the plastic one,
two front wheels chrowed lips with black spokes still
i was tempted to fit a full LED and Strobe kit but im not sure because i have a habit of getting stopped by the police as it is.... n thats just 2 stop me and ask what it is Laughing emoticon

many regards

Styles

Congrats, Styles! It is fun to ride, isn't it?

May I ask what modifications/fixes you made? I've seen some of them here on the board but never compiled a list of what I should do. I've had my mp3 500 for about two weeks now.

i have done most of the fixes listed on the forums..

mainly the only 1 to be carefull of is the hose on the radiator fan..

to be honest my bike didnt have a lot of fixes to be made because the people who pdi mine had been prior warned about a lot of fixes.

modification wise.

so far i have done the fixes only...

neon kit and my strobes are on order and my chroming is set to be done i just got 2 get the grabrail off.. the wheels are being left for the meanwhile because i need the bike a lot at the minute and it will take me 3 days on a turn around on the wheels
