MY BIKE

1999 490 DSES purchased used in 2010 with 1500 miles on it.

The only modifications by the previous owners (2) were applying some custom duct tape around the vented mylar decals to keep them from peeling up, some uber custom reflective tape on the swingarms and license plate holder, and a strange circular plastic clip mounted to the top of the headlight assembly for some unknown purpose.

Of course everyone says if you buy an ATK, it already has the best of the best (Brembro brakes, Ohlins / Paoli suspension,Pro-Taper bars, Rotax engine) so don't need to spend a lot of money upgrading it. Well, idle hands are the devil's workshop, and I could only resist the temptation to tinker for so long.
