I'm inclined to agree, especially as it suits my laziness . . .

Talking of fairings, these exciting looking boxes arrived from Sebimoto:

I bought pretty much everything they sell for the RSV4 RF. Front fairing, air tubes, belly pan, tail/seat unit, front mudguard, rear hugger, frame & swingarm protectors and a fuel tank cover.
The fuel tank cover hasn't actually arrived yet and I've since discovered that the factory one isn't a tank cover (like they are on a Honda), that's the actual tank - made of plastic?!
So I have a decision to make; whether to paint the tank I have, try and find a used one to paint or fit the Sebimoto cover and hope it doesn't batter the factory finish underneath too badly.

Full marks to Sebimoto for the fit and finish of their fairings. I didn't need to fettle anything to get it to fit except drill holes (including some holes in the side fairing to re-home the regulator/rectifier and the V4 Mobile Platform gizmo).
The only "modifications" I made was some foil tape inside the belly pan to help with exhaust heat and some 10mm seat foam. Screen is still the factory one for the time being.
