Hopefully you are taking the 300 to the track now. The 600s are fun. But I find the 250s/300s to be just as much fun, if not more.

I am really torn. I just can't find a lot of feedback on running these tires at race pace in lower temps, sub 60s. First race of the year is in March and it will be chilly at Roebling. If I don't find out something soon, the Pirelli's will be fitted, with the Unbeatens pulling duty during summer. Tires...

what are you going to do for steering stabilizer?? I thought it ridiculous to pay 400 for the name brand stuff so i bought the chinese one for 80 off ebay.. i cant compare it to the 400$ cause ive never used it but i could definitely feel a difference with having it vs not having it.. may have had to crank it to the hardest damping it would allow me to do but it works well

I was torn over the 003RS. I looked at them years ago, before I had a dedicated track bike. I didn't like them because I ready they were crap in the rain. Now, I may have to rethink this since I'll rock the Pirelli's in the rain. Again, tires...
As far as stabilizers go, there is a thread on here where someone used a GSXR damper with a Pro Tek fork Tube clamp. I really like that setup. But I'm not going to do anything until I ride the bike for a few months. I want to shake-out the kinks before I make any more changes to it. You should do a write-up of your eBay stabilizer. I'm curious to see how it's installed and hear how it performs.

on topic: Bike looks sick, looking forward to the dunlop review since I'm a fan of dunlop tires
what are you thinking for paint scheme?

Paint scheme was easy. I'm keeping it simple. Kawasaki green with the black bottom, on both the 300 and 600. I just finished painting the 300 Sunday. It came out great for a first time painter and using rattle can. Clear coat is a PITA! Here's the mostly finished product.
And a little something to dress up the front.
