Mhhhh I guess you're right and I wannot rost my sausages LOL, but at least this is a trackday's toy, no room for heavy gadgets TBH I like the appeal of CF without a shield. Also I'm playing with the idea of a mini diorama with a couple of mechanics (not pro, just those sunday's mechs, so very dirty suits, random sponsors and mostly the awesome 1/24 Yamaha TMax, it was my second "bike" and sit from too much time on the stash dust, despite mine was silver I'll see her in the same 7's pearl yellow/black scheme)

Upps, I intended it as a (almost) racer, not a Suzuki Santana to drive on dirty LOL , I guess I etched only one to protect paint from the side exaust warm and oils, and to underline the asymmetry of the 1 seater stuff but I guess also you're right
