Hey guys, for those of you who remember my thread with my gs500 you know that I got hit and it got totaled. I rebuilt all the stuff and fixed the messed up paint and other cosmetics and ended up selling it for 1400, sad day :(
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20130928_124456_zps91tksmhx.jpg)
Shortly before selling I picked up my 2003 cbr600rr and I figured I would make a thread for this forum along with the dotnet forum cause I missed it! This is how it looked when I got it
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20130920_232324_zpssalreyml.jpg)
First thing I did was remove that stupid monster sticker. After that I did some much needed maintenance. New pilot power 3's, gold ek 520 chain with driven sprockets and gold sprocket nuts, castrol 4t semi synthetic oil change, and topped off the antifreeze.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20131025_113229_zpsdf245885.jpg)
I also picked up a great quality tyre art paint pen on ebay
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20131123_143924_zps31ed833d.jpg)
I fell upon this super deal for 250 bucks, a 2005 cbr inverted front end. This was everything I need besides some 48mm clip ons and brake lines. I ordered some core moto gold ss lines and some woodcraft clip ons, so I will be completing the swap next weekend at Patricks.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20131201_133252_zpsccc9b4e6.jpg)

Here's the bike as it sits now, just added some more stickers also a complete fairing fastener kit in gold! I also got a full honda cbr600rr carbon fiber decal kit. I will be getting a new fairing kit relatively soon and probably turning these into race fairings but I need help with ideas for the new fairings. Feel free to toss out some if anyone knows anything about cbrs, I would like to keep it either 03-04 oem colors or 05-06 oem colors.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20131231_150354_zpsgbzddfst.jpg)
The big mods it had when I picked it up is the dually IXIL exhaust and a cobra Fi2000 tuner.
I have a few mods that will be coming along with the new front end:
- Gold ASV shorty levers with red adjusters (ordered and in the mail)
- Driven D3 grips, gold with red gel grips
- Carbon fiber accessories, fender, gas cap, hugger, etc...
- New fairing kit
- Engine case savers
- P/Cing various bits
- 2007+ front mastercylinder/resevoir
- Colored coolant tubes
and many other things that I cant think of at this time.
Stay tuned!!
Noice!!!

Haha that would be ridiculous Yamaha! i want some oem replica paint job from auctmarts
I love how the GStwin build section is only half GS's now lol. That CBR looks great jacob, I'm a bit jealous!
Haha thanks Mustang! Theres a few out there. Adidas is keeping it alive too!
Speaking of other bikes than gs500, How is your GSXR coming??
So no real update, but I got my woodcraft clip ons in the mail, came with some nice revzilla stickers and woodcraft stickers :) Revzilla takes some serious pride in securing their packages with care.
However, the freaking motion pro seal driver I ordered on ebay is coming in late.. Unless it miraculously makes it on time tomorrow, I will have to wait like two more weekends to do the swap and replace the seals/oil due to future occupied weekends... :cry:
Next thing that is showing up really late is the ASV levers. When they were purchased they said the levers were on back order, so I have to wait not only for motomummy to get more, but also for them to anodize everything and let it cure. That process started a while ago, so they should be here soon. I dont blame motomummy, Im sure its been a busy season.
I just want my parts :( lol

My 750 is dead. I traded it for a '96 Cherokee 5 speed because my sister wanted the jeep and I was trying to sell the gix. So in the end I got $1800 for my 750, which was a ticking time bomb of an electrical nightmare. I had to hardwire 4 harness connections, the guy I traded it to had to hardwire 3 more to keep it running, and it had started losing spark 100% sporadically.
That was a month ago, and I picked up an 2002 SV650 last week :D I think I'll start a build thread here for it... Hehe
Got the ASV levers from motomummy and installed em, looking sooooper good. Makes me want to do the fork swap even more!
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20140110_170114_zps4rtgjxvs.jpg)
Also painted the mounting bolts gold while I was prepping

Just got the motion pro fork seal drivers, gunna go over to patricks tomorrow to at least swap the oil and change the seals.
Finally swapped the fork seals and changed out the oil. Feeling perfect!! Going to ride to Patricks in the morning and complete the swap. So excited! Pictures will come tomorrow.
Big up date!
Sooooo, after a few set backs, broken spring collar, buying 2 pairs of seals cause I messed up, andddddd... possibly maybe installing the front calipers backwards at first........ I got the front fork swap done!!!!
I really love the look of the inverted forks, and havent seen the improvement in braking with the radial mounted calipers, probably cause the pads still need to wear to the rotors. So with this fork swap also came new stainless gold core moto brake lines, awesome! And new woodcraft clip ons.
Brake lines:

Woodcraft with a 1.5 inch rise. No clearance issues so far, other than the forks rubbing against the air duct cover on the right side.
And heres some pictures of everything I did:
Removed the fairings and hooked it up to the overhead hoist with some ratchet straps
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140118_115248_zpsc4mrby8s.jpg)
Took all the 03 forks off and greased the hell out of the stem bearings on the 05 stem and installed it and all the other 05 junk, AWESOME :banger:
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140118_141220_zpsp5yjgyt6.jpg)
Put the caliper on... the wrong side upside down... :retard:
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140118_172659_zpsvuhhtmml.jpg)
Installed them correctly this time and bled the brakes:
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140118_205425_zpsxdmp3int.jpg)
Rear line:
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20140119_132957_zpsdyvwixok.jpg)
Only thing I am not happy about is that somewhere along the lines I unplugged something and my bike did not like it cause now after reconnecting everything, the oil light blinks 8 times (bad throttle positioning or something I think). So I will go down and take off the nose fairing and clean and reconnect the headlight and dash connections and what not.
Heres how it sits now!
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/IMG_20140119_130017_zpshvcibheb.jpg)
Great work! Excuse the drool puddle... lol
Haha thanks mustang.
I would like to start powder coating things, but then ill need to get new swing arm bearings and what not. next upgrade will most likely be driven d3 grips.
I'm also searching pretty thoroughly for a cost effective master cylinder from newer cbr. I'll keep this thread updated.
Soooo, I havent updated this thread for a while, but I picked up and 07 600rr radial front master cylinder to replace the ugly axial block master cylinder and reservoir, that will get bleed this thursday and pictures will come. Also picked up another gold ASV shorty lever, cause I needed the one for the 07 cbr. Other than that I have a full fairing kit on the way from auctmarts, I am keeping the fairing choice a secret to the 600rr forum, but I figured I would let you guys know what it is. It is a full red fairing kit, with carbon fiber look decals, in the oem tribal pattern for the 2005 cbr600rr. I think it will look pretty slick. I also opted for the 2005-06 front nose fairing, cause they look sharper imo.
Some other mods I installed are Skurr carbon fiber gas cap cover and triple tree cover. I also have an HRC real carbon fiber tank pad coming in the mail for the new fairings. Heres some pictures:

Also went to the bike show with adidasguy and brianrc and saw Jorge Lorenzos M1! Awesome...
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/111_0005_zpscba82ba6.jpg)
More pictures to come when I get the fairings and master cylinder all bled.
So you didn't show up at the bike cave today? SHAME SHAME SHAME!
Next Saturday then ride to the Euro Show?
Wheres the Euro show? And you talking about Saturday the first? Or the Saturday after that? I have drill this weekend 1st and 2nd.... :cry: :cry: :sad:
Next Saturday. Call in sick.
http://www.euromoto-northwest.com/
Tank pad and new flush mounts showed up today!
Still waiting on the new fairings to finally ship out once they are done painting.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0025_zpsfbb2bc92.jpg)
Big update for you guys!
Got the fairings in and installed the new 2007+ master cylinder
Laid the seat cowl on, no hardware yet

Was going to put the cf gas tank pad on too but got lazy and was angry about installing lol but here is the new master cylinder. Much nicer than the old brick style one.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0067_zps1180c777.jpg)
fake carbon fiber matches pretty well

This picture makes it look super red haha. I wanted it to be red like this, but I'm not dissapointed with what I got.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0072_zpsc77acbae.jpg)
Let me know what you guys think, should have it all done by tommorow. Auctmarts forgot to send me the correct windscreen for the 05+, they sent me the 03 instead! But I have fixed that and am waiting for the correct one. Also need to install an LED relay because having an led integrated taillight and LED front flushmounts makes the stock relay act crazy and blink super fast cause of the lack of a power draw.
I also picked up some R&G case savers for when I decide to start track days. They are taking forever to be shipped as they were on back order... They look like this when installed though (not my bike dont have them yet)
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/12/xu4n.jpg)
Will keep you guys posted.
Did some more stuff today :)

New dash view!
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0084_zps9fcb2a6a.jpg)
Overall extremely pleased with the outcome. LED relay will get installed and will hopefully be back on the horse by Saturday. Busy Friday... :(
(applause) :thumb: hot!
Haha thanks cbr, how is your motor swap going anyways? Is that project still kicking??
I fixed my indicator issue by installing a new LED relay, but then realized that the damn thread stems on the right flush mount broke lmao... Not one thing its another huh. Also went to start it on this beautiful day and the battery is dead from all work and no ride for 5 weeks lol. Damn....
Will be out riding tomorrow!

How is Oregon and your bmw gs650??
Beautiful day in Washington so we decided to get a group ride going and ended up getting about 20 people to go out and ride the twisties near Mt Rainier. Ended up being almost 60 I think with clear skies :banger:
This was my first twisty mountain ride on this thing, was such a blast! I managed to stay close to all the guys with the liter bikes, and was in the front for the whole thing. Also my new Motegi suit is freaking awesome, super easy to move around on the seat while switching positions through the corners, and very comfortable when in an aggresive position. We had two guys go down, both on Yamahas :P They learned their lesson, haha jkin. No body got hurt, damage totaled to a broken blinker on one bike, and a broken gear shifter on the other, and of course, scratches.
Heres some pictures of the meet up and some gorgeous views I saw when I left the pack.

Quality kinda sucks cause I only had my phone. Camera would have been too bulky for the suit.
Today was a good day lol. Totaled just shy of 300 miles, a whopping 275.
this thread turning into cbr porn,.... :thumb: great pics!
mine is hanging out under a sheet waiting for me to figure out electrical. Somehow can't find parts after moving twice. I mapped it all out though and just need to get more time to figure out if I can use,......sorry I don't want to clog your thread. Back to awesomeness,.......more pictures good sir!?

Haha no problem! And na those were the only pictures I took. I could take a pictures of all the bugs me and her slaughtered together on yesterdays ride though! Hahaha.
You need to update your thread! That was one of the threads I was interested in back when I had my GS but it dissapeared :( Hahaha
Sexy bike indeed
Sent from my GT-I9210T using Tapatalk
Haha thanks Golly.
Little update on the R&G case savers, apparently there are tons of delays in shipping other than the first delays that he told me about, so at this point the seller offered me a refund and said I can just send the money again when the part actually comes in. I agreed to this, but have not seen any further action from the seller. Hoping for the best lol.

How is Oregon and your bmw gs650??
It was a pop quiz to see if you were up to the task.
Beemer was fun. Put about 650 miles on in 3 days.
Damnnn I hope that seat was comfy! Haha. Started having a sore a$$ a couple days after my 300 mile ride on the cbr hahaha...
I may have to buy a Beemer for long trips and sell off a few GS500's to make room.
Yes - I just hijacked your thread.
About 180 miles from Bend to Myrtle Creek going over the pass past Crater Lake. Next time I'll get different flights to Redmond, OR so I get in earlier and have time to explore Crater Lake.
This was my first time riding through there. Return trip got down to 34 degrees with snow flurries and rain. Still fun. Heated grips and barkbusters helped keep hands warm. New Icon over-pants, Tourmaster boots and my Belstaff leather jacket and I was in top fashion and warm. (I bought all that sheeeet at the motorcycle show last month).
Rode to airport and parked free (thanks BrianRC for telling me how to do it). Carry on all my gear. PACKED LIGHT. Only took the boots and wore them for 4 days - so I guess that means they are VERY comfortable.
Oregon Dual Sport Rental picked me up at the Redmond, OR airport (Superb service from them!). 4 days of fun! TSA-Pre means I no longer have to take off my shoes - and they didn't beep their thingies so I was good to go!

That would be hilarious if you got a beemer for the bike cave. You would have to keep it outside!
Maybe next to Olly's Yamaha.
Next time you're here, we need to get a picture of 4 bikes for a Yama-Hon-Kawa-Zuki photo.
Haha will do, your back home now right? Lovely weather we are having... :dunno_black: :2guns:
Might make it over sometime this week, but definitely this weekend sometime.

I know right!? Well, I have to re order those case savers due to the seller giving me a refund and me waiting for him to get them finally and then I can resend the money.
Also heres some things I need in order of priority:
- Rear EBC Organic brake pads: $28 Purchased and awaiting arrival
- Alpinestar SMX-5 Boots: ~$215
- Woodcraft frame sliders: ~$50
- Track fairings: ~$250
- Vortex rearsets: ~$280
- New exhaust (single pipe): ~$250
I will probably buy the boots soon, gunna go try some on today. And I was told of a super deal on some vortex rearsets, but I cant buy them right now lol...
For now I am just sitting and enjoying the rainy Washington weather :( :technical: :2guns: :police: :sad: :o

Looking for you of course,.....
I'm down in Houston good sir. Where tree rat squirrels like to burrow into your attic insulation and DIE, causing roadkill odor to seep into your wife's closet, where she freaks out and commands you to crawl through small attic spaces breathing rancid dead squirrel stench, till you give up and cut a hole in the ceiling to find the carcass with its evil rotting smile glaring at you and its curled up stinking little paws in double f u frozen rigor mortis gestures causing you to put all your weekend time and energy into fixing the closet and not being able to do crap on your GS project bike. whew,........farg :embarrassed:
Hahahahaha.... Let it all out man! Let it all out!
You do have a daily ride though right? Other than the GS that is in the building process.
Wow, that's epic Cbr... sounds like you got a little janx in your typing fingers today... LOL!

Nothing new really except for the seat cowl, and the fact that I ordered seemingly tons of parts lol.
Seat Cowl:
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0143_zpsa76780c2.jpg)
And after a very long wait, the R&G case savers finally got shipped out from Italy and will be here Monday. Yesterday I decided to purchase some gold vortex rearsets and a banjo brake light pressure switch, renthal med compound grips, and an oil filter for a future oil change.
Heres the rear sets. I want to also buy a rear reservoir before doing the swap, but I might just have to do a res delete, a cheaper option.

Parts whoring is addictive.
Hahaha, very true. Except for I, unlike some people :cookoo:, sell the stuff that I am not using anymore :) I have till around 3 on Sunday mang!!
^ and Sunday was the last time I saw him...
I have a little update, just been hard being on this forum lately let alone thinking of updating my thread with what happened to Patrick.
So, the most recent updates is R&G case savers, vortex rearsets, street bikes unlimited frame sliders, and rear reservoir delete. I also changed my oil and filter and replaced the rear brake pads. Heres some pictures,

Overall I am very satisfied. The shifter side is not finished yet as the used kit I got was missing 2 small pieces that are ordered and in the mail, so I havent been able to ride this weekend.
nice

Parts from McMaster worked perfectly, so I got the rearsets installed yesterday and rode around today, was great. I decided to go with GP shift, only messed up a few times the whole day. It was easier to get used to than I expected. I find myself accidentally shifting to neutral when going from 1st to 2nd gear in a corner, guess I just have to push a little harder down.
The only downfall is that I can't access my kickstand with my foot because the shift linkage is all in the way with the gp setup, so I have to reach down there and put the kickstand out. Any thoughts on how to fix that?
Heres some pictures! I liked em so I figured I would post em! Enjoy.

I just helped my buddy install some frame sliders last night.
The right side, where the rear break is, went in pretty easy. For some reason the left side frame slider was a super beotch to get in. We managed to get it in but after trying like 10 times we never got it to sit flush with the fairings. Did you have any issues like that?
This side no problems
(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/Batpimpn/Mobile%20Uploads/20140520_202715_zpstr9euuzv.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Batpimpn/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140520_202715_zpstr9euuzv.jpg.html)
this other side though was a effing awful. Technically it never sat perfectly flush like the first one. We tried raising and lowering the engine by a millimeter or two just to have the engine bolt thread flush with the frame but it never went in as smooth as the other side
(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/Batpimpn/Mobile%20Uploads/20140520_202724_zps1zhbcd6d.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Batpimpn/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140520_202724_zps1zhbcd6d.jpg.html)
Haha thanks golly and cbr!
Ariel, does one of the frame sliders pop out way more than the other? If so you probably put them on reverse. The left side of the frame has a female area (depressed circular hole) and the left frame slider should have a male inlet (small extension with a smaller diameter than the rest) to go in there. The right side frame part where you mount the frame slider is flat, so it would be easy to install the wrong one since both will fit. Only one frame slider will fit properly on the left side. Does that make sense/sound like the problem you may be having?
actually no the difference is like 2-3 mm..i tried everying I could think of to make it square up like mine but it never did. My buddy had little patience though he took off in the current state that its in. I am thinking of convincing em to try and do it all over again.
Do you remember what brand frame sliders they are? That could be the reason as well lol.
R & G
I finally got out to the track and did a performance riding school! It ended up raining, pretty much all day! But that didnt stop me from having a BLAST!! It was so much fun and I learned sooo much. Overall, the day went very well, I had a few really close call near highsides, cause I tend to push it a little too hard haha, and the grounds were still wet lol :S oops. Also rode off the track a couple times after taking over some really good guys and not paying attention to the next turn lol, kept the bike up though. I think I was definitely up there with the fastest guys in the 100 level, the instructor wanted to go to the 200 session, but I didnt wanna miss any classroom instruction if we made the switch. My biggest problem was holding my lines at the beginning, when I would pick up speed my lines would go to crap, but by the end of the day my lines were right on and with really good speed.
Heres some pictures from the day, note the morning sessions were soaking wet. Throughout the day I was getting lower and lower despite the rain, but I didnt go too crazy, as I only had DOT tires.

I dont have any pictures of me in action, and not sure the photographer snapped any lol. We will see in a couple days. Anyways, here is a picture towards the end of the day with only two sessions left, the sun had been out for a while and it was finally drying up!
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140523_163116_zpsipjcblkz.jpg)
And then came the last session, it was completely dry! Was freaking awesome. So I decided it was time to put some of the newly learned skills to the test! And then this happened:

(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140523_175513_zps6rh2or8u.jpg)
Some pretty good wear for me! And only from one session! Also got my first knee down! Three times that session! I know I might sound like a noob, but I was super happy I got my knee down and got some good looking tire wear. I am so excited to get more track days under my belt. Will probably be buying another track day with a performance school like this one in August after I am done being busy with work, and then it will be dry out and I can go all out.
fookin star points for you Jac,.... :bstar: :rstar: :bstar: :rstar: :star:
:bowdown:
Hahaha thanks for the star points! :cookoo:
It was probably the most fun I've had on two wheels, actually definitely the most fun. Got to where i was coming down the straight at 145 before down shifting and trail braking into corner 1 haha.
Had another track day last weekend on Sunday and I finally decided to throw my Shark skinz race fairings on. The fitment wasnt great but I made it work and didnt have any mishaps all day. I put some decals/stickers on that I have received from sellers that I have bought from
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0256_zps4b862e2f.jpg)
and also 55 cause 5 is my favorite number and I happened to have 2 of them haha. Also new MOTION PRO THROTTLE and 07 killswitch that you guys have yet to see.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0253_zpsf9f4ecfb.jpg)
I spelt out my last name on the lower fairing too! :)

Heres some full pics in the garage and in the pits. Its held together with zip ties and quick release fasteners lol. I took off the passenger pegs and the licence plate and the rear mud guard.

(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0264_zpsc610bf4b.jpg)
And then, my instructor asked about my suspension and we found I had 11 turns out on dampening, or practically no dampening at all! So he did a quick tune on my front end and rear! Felt crazy good the session after!! He also told me to run 30 psi front and rear so I did and that helped too. Heres my tire wear and knee puck/toe slider wear after the last session haha

Toe sliding was very random, but fun haha. I might raise my rear sets one more step up cause I always ride with my toes and was actually having troubles touching the opposite peg when hanging off in turns a couple times.
I also finally have a video for you guys! I chose the butt angle cause its my favorite and the best to watch to criticize your body positioning ect... Wasnt going for high speed just working on lines pretty much the whole day.
Let me know what you guys think, criticism is welcome since it will come anyways!! Haha
Alright, I might be a little jealous now.... but that's so cool you finally got on a real track! I've been dying to do that since I started riding!
Onto the video you posted for the BP criticisms - It seems like you're sliding your ass too far off the seat to me. It looked like your shoulders were staying more towards the center of the bike while the rest of you was more off. I'm not a BP expert (by any means) but I was always told to lead a little more with the elbow, and basically pretend like you're trying to touch your chin to the side of the bars you're turning. I just read up a that a month or 2 ago and so far it's helped me a good bit on my riding. I'm also 100% street though so maybe you know something I don't? I'm just about out of chicken strips now :woohoo: and I only really get to lean it over real good through intersections making left hand turns and on ramps to the interstate lol
Lol thanks, track time is such a blast. The CBR will now be a dedicated track bike cause I bought a 2003 zx6r for the street. Ill post pictures of that in a bit. The main purpose of body positioning is to be parallel with the bike, so you want to hang your a$$ and shoulders off an equal amount, with your a$$ normally one cheek off the seat. The push your chin into your elbow pocket trick is for when you are exiting a corner and straightening out the bike.
The best FREE way to learn about track style aggressive riding for on or off the street is by watching twist of the wrist. You can find the video on youtube. Its about an hour long, learn something new every time I watch it.

That's where I learned most of what I know lol. Whenever I'm going (and maybe I'm just doing it wrong) but I tend to keep a little more butt on the seat and get up a little more on the bars so I can stay looser and in control during the turn. If I don't do that I tend to run out of reach to keep pushing into the bars... The joys of being 5'7" with not the longest of arms. And my SV has a longer reach to the clip ons than a true supersport.
And really? First you get on the track, then you go buy the exact model of bike I'm saving for. Tell me you didn't buy a blue one, or we're going to have some issues :2guns:
Being short can be hard at times haha. Thats what aftermarket adjustable rearsets are for lol. Sometimes in mid left hand corners I would find my right toes lifting off the rearset cause I am leaned over so far. To fix this I adjusted my rearsets up one more spot. Its bad to be twisted up, too far over on the shoulders and not far over enough with your hips, and vice versa. I am going to try and start racing next year, that is my goal as of now, we will see if I have enough expenses to do so haha.
The zx6r is a blast to ride. Completely stock 2003 minus the fender eliminator, silver in color, with only 7900 miles. I wanted to test first gear pull so I cracked open the throttle and it accelerated fast and smooth and then lifted the front wheel off the ground with no effort hahaha... Only time I have done that before is on a 2014 r1... Pretty crazy. I am in the market for an exhaust, and have already bought a smoked windscreen, tech spec tank grips, flush mount blinkers, and a genuine kawasaki tank pad. I got it for 3600 and the guy threw in a pitbull rear stand and a nice magnetic tank bag. I will post pictures soon. Have to do my first oil change and cut out a spot for the shifter so that I can switch to gp shift too.
Sounds like you got a killer deal! That's going to be the price range I'll be searching in as well. Got pictures of the 636 too? :thumb:
Ill definitely get some pictures this weekend up for yall. I changed the oil last night and topped off the anti freeze, also cut the slot in my sprocket cover for gp shift. Trying to figure out whether or not to buy a full titanium leo Vince exhaust, or just a slip on. I'll need to get a power commander either way so might as well get a full exhaust.
Ill wax her before i show her off
As promised, I got some ZX6R pictures for you guys. I didnt wax her though. Here she is before I put my new techspec tank grips on:

(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/100_0295_zpsacf89966.jpg)
I have a CF tank pad, a smoked double bubble, and my flush mounts that will go on next week some time. The oil is super clean cause I changed it, chain has been waxed, and the coolant has been topped off. It is now my daily ride.
Installed a Akrapovic exhaust, k&n air filter, smog block off plates, new iridium spark plugs, and had it tuned before and after. Stock was 104 hp and after all that and the tuning I was putting out 110 rwhp. I have all the maps too.

nice cornering! bravo :cheers:
SWEET!!! My morning just got a bit better, thanks for the awesome pics :D Love that helmet :thumb:
Stunning!
Looks great man! :cheers:
Thanks guys! Lots of hard work, but finally racing!
It's like the best thing ever. I also have videos from every round if you guys are interested.
Heck, if you've got em, post em! :cheers:
Well said!
Ill just post a couple of em. I have one from one of the practice sessions on the second day of the first round this year that I added some music too here:
And one of the latest rounds of which most of the above pictures were taken can be seen here:
Enjoy guys!! Hope it makes your long stressful days more bearable :) Hahaha
Man,
Overdue for an update. Patrick would be angry! I sure have been missing him a lot lately! Hard to find someone with as much passion as he had for motorcycles. He was always down to ride or wrench...
Anyways,
I have gone on to bigger and better bikes than the Honda, for racing that is! I still have it and have since turned it back into my street bike again. Heres some pictures of her and my new 2008 Yamaha R6 for racing this season. I should start a build thread on the r6, cause I have literally put thousands into it since these photos were taken lol.
(http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w549/Jaco20sikkness/FB_IMG_1443804801672_zps4cd7rrmr.jpg)

The Honda's new street trim. Drove all the way down to Oregon to get it!
And some sneak peaks of the goodies I have added to the R6 so far. Let me know if you guys are interested and I will start a build thread here and document my progress and race pictures/videos from this year.

Heck yeah we are interested!!
...At least I know I am :embarrassed:
Awesome update :thumb:
I'm interested. For instance what is that angled black thing on the right hand grip, is that part of a hand guard? Or a slider or a mount for a mirror? I can't quite make out what I'm looking at.
Also that asv lever looks real nice!

Thanks bro!
And that is a brake lever guard (vortex, although many brands make them), so when you are elbowing it out or getting close with a fellow racer they do not touch your brake lever and cause a crash. There not used on street bikes, so thats probably why you have never seen one.
Cool! Can you get fouled for elbowing someone too hard on a race track?

Yea, It depends on your organization, but in most organizations if you purposefully make someone crash you will be penalized for sure.
I've only ever worked on 1 R6.. and it was just fixing an exhaust hanger on a custom slip-on.
how's getting to all the bits and pieces on the engine?

It is very simple! So far it seems as if the Honda is more difficult. One example I can think of is the airbox. On the Honda you have to remove like, 20 bolts, the airfilter, the velocity stacks, and then pull the lower air box out. On the r6 there is like 10 bolts and you pull the top off, then like 6 bolts and you pull the bottom out. the air filter just snaps into and out of place!

The newer the bikes.. the more things are jammed in tight spaces.. as far as new"er" bikes go. the 636 has been the easiest to work on and
all ducatis are just comical jokes.. their like hot girlfriends, fun to look at an touch, but don't ask them to do anything.
GS only requires 6 bolts to get to the air filter. and if you're me, you can do the "aftermarket air filter 2 screw
losedelete mod" bringing the total down to four. lmao
