I am wrong... A lot. Don't worry, I know
Is this the right forum? If not feel free to move Mods ;D
Bought an '06 CBR600rr off one of the guys at the shop a while back for quite the deal (sub $2000). While salvaged, it runs perfectly fine with the exception of needing a manual cam chain tensioner (a normal problem with what seems like all CBRs). Plastics were all taken off, replaced by some redbull plastics. Also powdercoated as much as I can on it for practice. Needed a brake lever, and left front rotor (warped from the accident). Has a Yoshimura RS-5 slip on which sounds pretty nasty to me, but in a completely good way.
Here's a quick video I took when I bought it
So, here it is. And let the story unfold.
January
Tried gold for the rearsets/pegs (didn't like it)
Early February (Gloss red w/a silver metallic flake)
Mock up of the front end (rebuilt front forks, powdercoated upper/lower triple and speedo mount bracket)
About 2 months ago
How she sits now (bit of an artsy picture)
Things I have done:
-Rebuilt front end
-Bled front/back brakes
-new clutch plates and springs (Got em, just need to install it)
-powdercoated/grind down the side covers (went down on the right side)
-new chain/sprocket
-put fairings on
-take a step back, and ride into the sunset laughing
