So I finally got my new tank on the bike, and am pretty happy with it. I actually like it a lot more than the '04 tank due to the light blue highlight inside the stripe. It's that little bit of extra color that makes it nicer, I think. I don't like the tail plastics though, and am looking for an '05 set to replace them with sometime in the near future. From an '04 F to an '05 E :laugh:.
I'll see if I can get some better pictures of it later on, but this one will do for now.

I stopped counting when it got up to 28 different variants.
Okay...Alpha...now maybe you can answer the age-old question...
Is the 2004 blue the same color as the 2005 blue? I have been unable to find an answer to this since I started frequenting this forum.
Looks great!

Actually yes, I think the tanks are the same color with the exception of the stripe. I'll take some comparisson shots this Thursday when I go home. They are both gorgeous colors of blue.
I still want an '05 tail end.
Same here on the '05 tail... I HATE the white tail on my '04

Sorry about the bad pictures, but here it is
The '04 blue is the same as the '05 blue.

The '04 and '05 have a gorgeous metallic blue color. I love it.
Here's the dent on my new tank.

Ha! I knew it. The blues are the same.
Anyone want to trade your 04 fairings (IN PERFECT SHAPE) with my 05 fairings (perfect shape)? I'll pay all of the shipping.

Perfect shape? DAMN... Want to trade tail only? My tail is in perfect shape, and I will trade you for yours. It would match better, too. Want me to give you a rough PhotoShop of it?
EDIT: Quick and dirty, but it works.

Don't be afraid of paint guys... Color-rite sells it and it can also be mixed.

That's a lot more expensive though.
I kinda like the look of the 04 tail on the 05, I'm comptemplating that trade alpha, it will be a few weeks before I can get home to my bike though.
The white tail is hot. Don't touch!
Alpha, when are you going to do something about that dorky exhaust?

Take your time, take your time! You have no idea how happy I'd be if you did this though. :laugh:

This summer, I think. My dad has a Yoshimura RS-1 Stainless Oval slip on sitting in our garage just doing nothing. He said he will probably sell it to me this summer for dirt cheap.
I'll PM you as soon as I decide to do it and get the tail off and ready to ship, I'm at school in CT and my bike is in NY so if someone else wants it and can do it sooner feel free. thanks.
Hoooraaaay! My bike is gonna go from an '04 F to an '05 E. Freakin' sweet.
