spray it another colour, cause black wont show all the lines and details. Maybe a white or something like that.

nah they're wider guards :lol:

just shave the inside edge of the jetspeed bar that meets the guard. i reckon it will be manageable, but yeah it will require work for sure
I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense.

I is doable, but not bolt up. I dont know about fixing points on the jetspeed bar but as said above it will probably need to be cut ever so slightly... nothing major.

The guards have the indent for the standard shape bumper, so if the JS bar incorporates that somehow then it should look good as.

The stock ET front lip SHOULD bolt up without any modification, that is how it has been designed but we are still yet to try.

I reckon it definitely needs a fair bit of work where it meets the indicator and bumper...

or maybe he would prefer it further up the guard dunno

Kimmo i know your trying 2 be help full. But u dnt even have a pulsar et. Doing it anyother way and making look good is extremly hard. And i think your just speaking your own opinion. Neva had any1 else say they dnt lyk it. And i think it makes it look aggressive.

I don't have a GF either ATM, but does that mean I don't know what sexy is?
What I'm suggesting is that bit in red really detracts from all the hard work done integrating the bulge; I reckon it stands out like dog's balls.

That little protrusion of the indicator gives you somewhere to tie the lines into; I reckon if the corners marked by the orange lines followed the green lines, and was flush with the indicator and bumper, that'd make it look fucking shmick. But I guess the sheetmetal under all the bog must have dictated the situation to a large extent; it's prolly not possible...

At the very least, the corner marked in black should be radiused somewhat, but that wouldn't be much of an improvement, IMO.

But then, I'm totally not into the ricer look; I like my shit to look as if it could have come out of the factory like that.
