here are a couple goodies i;ve bought
Akrapovic slip on exhuast (VERY high quality, they make ferrari, porche, etc exhuasts)
Rizoma grips (that actually replace the existing ones rather than just sliding on.)
Woodcraft frame sliders..
I've got some more stuff on order. (all of these parts were necessary btw)

holy FAIL batman!!!
best of both worlds is where its at!! ... sport touting... ala FZ6!
**** cruisers, they are slow(most), heavy for no good reason, they dont stop, they dont turn, they can sound good...but most dont... not to mention because they dont handle or stop well...they arent as safe as a sport/touring bike.

yeah, with yours, you're not riding a windshield down the road... and yours looks to have a capable braking system as well...dual front rotors...
I was lookin at a 2009 Harley that was going for $18k with one measly rotor up front on a 900lb bike, shameful.

Dunlops are good enough for AMA riders dragging knee at 90 miles per hour..good enough for me. I haven't done a track day yet, but on the street, these things stick like stink on an ape.

I was referring to Dunlop's street tires.
AMA racers are using special everything... can you buy the exact same Dunlop tires they use for the street? I wouldnt think the tires the racers use would not be street legal.

Oh **** man, sorry haven't been on this forum for a while. I thought maybe you bought the bike wrecked and were fixing it up. My buddy bought a wrecked CBR F1 600 for $800 and put maybe $300 of ebay parts on it and it runs and looks good, he got a hell of a deal.
