Seeing Double
So today is my birthday! Brought this one home over the weekend. The deal was far too good to pass up - so now I have another 300! It's very cool to have a smaller bike in the garage to compliment my other bike.
Planned mods: (won't be for awhile unless I get crazy or get a bunch more work in) Full exhaust, Power Commander, levers, ss lines, pads, filter, fender eliminator, tires - Pilot Roads, All-Balls steering bearings, springs, red rim tape and ZX-3R seat decal to match the 6R. Also installing my old Scorpio alarm system. Not adding clip-ons or rear sets to this one though. Will update pics at some point when all is done. It will end up looking like a copy of my 6R. It's nice having a bike that doesn't cook me during traffic and stoplights in the city. I was also getting jealous of reading about people enjoying their 250s and 300s. |

Thanks!
Added an old gps Ram mount set-up from my 250 that was in a box. Works really well and the gps is battery powered and water proof too. The threads on the clutch side work great for an easy install of the Ram ball. |

Nice addition, I wanted abs too but it was only offered on the SE model.

The ABS was the version in black that was on super sale. I could have gotten a non-ABS for a touch less but it would have been an SE color scheme (the white or green ones) which is not quite my taste. I also wanted it to look like my 6R. |

I'd rather not say. I have a great relationship with a certain dealership and this is the 7th brand new bike I've gotten there.
Thanks! I am enjoying it a lot so far. Modding it is going to be so much fun. I have a few things shipping to me next week - fender eliminator, All-Balls steering bearing set, and CRG levers. Oh yeah! |

Hey Andy! It's been a long time. That would be fun - down for a ride whenever.
This coming weekend or next I might go with @thisisbenji to check out the Kettle Moraine area. He found some great areas with tons of twistys. That would be a longer all day type ride. Or could do something shorter locally-ish as well. Would be fun to ride in the Sheboygan area too. |
