Chrome bug nipped my tail.

[NightCrawler]

Please excuse the mess. I'll get around to that this weekend.

Anywho, the infamous chrome bug in my area seems to have gotten me again. It must haave been a baby one because it didn't doo much ... ahem ... "damage", but it's still noticable.

This is how my tail looked before:

I snapped this one in case anyone has ever wondered what their Gen-1 would look like without that sticker:

And this is the end result of that chrome bug attack:

. I didn't think of it that way.

I have a few "chrome bug attack" threads. Since its a kit I also decided to use the large Kanji's as well. I'm replacing the ones the chrome bug attacked me with last week (seen here https://www.hayabusa.org/forums/?act=ST;f=49;t=87472) with the ones from the kit.

The only difference is the ones in the kit are bigger and it has the word "Hayabusa" like the factory ones.

My next debate is replacing the "GSX-1300R" on the tail with the ones from the kit. Its a issue because that sticker is more than just the words, it's part of a decal as well. So if the words go, the decal goes as well.


Thanks all for the replies.

the chrome bug does a lot of biting in the winter months, a very vicious creature.
