View Full Version : Hello all
Beast February 9th, 2009, 01:51 PM I've actually been registered for quite some time, although I haven't posted yet :) I was referred here by Kelly as well (I mean, who wasn't!?! haha).
Most of you have seen my bike, so no need to share more pics :thumbup: HOWEVER, I have been sucked into the track riding world and therefore have modified my bike to suit those needs.
Goodbye BT45's, hello BT090s :D
Also, I removed the A-Tech carbon fiber hugger because it was really impractical and was a PAIN to remove and install. I told Kurosaki earlier that although it looks nice, adjusting your chain or doing any chain maintenance is next to impossible because the shroud covers the adjustment spacer (and most of the chain).
I'm probably going to sell it or send it to someone to make a mould of it for reproduction. I'm done with it ;)
Future plans include that OHLINS rear shock, woodcraft clips, safety wiring and some race plastics.
Anyway, here's to happy posting!
- Chris

Beast February 9th, 2009, 01:58 PM Thanks!! Glad to be here. Broom's Las Escobas bike is gorgeous. I hope to put my own twist on my track bike progress as opportunities arise.

Good to see you posting! Bitten by the track bug, eh? Have you seen Richard's new 250 online store? Seems like he carries a lot of what you might be looking for in the future.
mahalo

THANKS :rolleyes: You're supposed to help me resist temptation. $159 for those clip ons is an awesome price.
And thanks for the welcome's everyone.
kkim February 9th, 2009, 04:31 PM lol... if I've given in to temptation, I'm taking everyone else down with me. :D
sell the hugger... I'm sure there will be a lot of interested parties and you'll have more than enough money for the clipons. :)

OldGuy February 9th, 2009, 06:23 PM Welcome Chris - glad to have you on the forum. I look forward to your reports of progress and how you fair in resisting temptation. My unofficial analysis is that we all suck at that - but boy do we have fun:D
TnNinjaGirl February 9th, 2009, 07:53 PM I love the color of your bike!!! I'd have to say it's my favorite scheme I've seen on these bikes.

zartan February 9th, 2009, 11:31 PM Hi Chris! Glad to see you here!
Have you posted picts of your fab tab ulous bike yet?? I can understand the rear hugger being a pain especially if you track ride also.
I am sure you can sell it if you decide.
I will be soon contacting you about some more decals :) Hopefully you will still do them :D
a little inverse action when I get my new Arai.

xTKx February 10th, 2009, 08:15 AM Welcome to the board Chris! I've got to ask: what kind of jacket are you wearing?! It looks really nice!
Beast February 10th, 2009, 10:42 AM This is what I call a welcome! :D

No Problem :) Just let me know when you need something

Thanks! It's a Dainese Del Mar Jacket :) Fairly expensive however, around $850. It has a lot of "technologies" that actually really help the comfort level.

Agreed! Maybe it's their expressions.

You and CRXtek, although CRX beat you to it. I'm still debating...ho hum. Haha.
