upside is, it will only look better from here

 

Poor thing.

 

it doesnt look like a bike anymore... they never do what the front end comes off. good you're getting her fixed tho jon.

 

Looks fast.

haha

 

keep us updated man i love that bike

 

 

well that looks like fun! lol.
what all are you doing to it?

 

I think he's just repairing it.

 

that and adding a couple little things.

 

That is?

 

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)

 

Woodcraft sliders are badass. Are you getting Engine case covers/guards??? I wan't to get and Akra shorty slip on for my bike, but I still enjoy the quietness of my bike right now, lol.

 

what do you ride man?

 

Mods for the win! Whats the list of trashed parts anyhow?

Bent exhaust

broken left switches
rashed bar ends

broken mirrors
broken right rearset (foot peg)
snapped brake lines
broken swing arm sliders
broken throttle lines


that's about it.

how do you like the gixxer slp?

 

screw crotch rockets...cruisers are the way to go!

 

^^ Yeah if you like to be loud and obnoxious and drive the speed limit. lol

 

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 cruisers can be cool. that one isn't.

 

Ya'll suck. lol

 

I don't do the limit.

 

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.

 

I love it Dustin. I wish I could have both.

 

Hey badfish I love my gixxer thats why I'm keeping her stock right now except for the Pilot Power tires which I think are ok I might try some different tires next time, So far I have ran Pilot Powers and Battlaxs I liked them both, Did you get to ride your CBR yet, they are great bikes. And Zigg I agree sport touring bikes are the best all around bikes I rode SV650s and SV1000's and loved them both, comfy and still very powerful. The torque feels crazy on the V twins.

 

yeah I've rode my cbr..haha..that's how i crashed it. I'm on Dunlop Qualifiers right now and they are damn sticky.

 

dunslop FTL... michelin or Bstone or dont bother getting on the bike.

 

haha is that what you read on an fz6 forum?

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.

 

quite a few guys on the street have gone down due to Dunlop's tendencies to be sticking at one moment and then slipping aggressively into a non catch-able slide. What Im saying has nothing to do with what I read on a forum... I ride with a large group of folks.. it only takes 3 or 4 guys that I know, that are experienced riders to have an issue with them to make me leary of dunslops. Tires are so important...etc...

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.
