Tricolore sounds fancier.

Reason why working on my bike takes so goddamn long - I constantly misplace my tools and then spend way too long looking for them. I still can't find one of my socket extensions with an allen wrench socket on it...

Finally found the time to post this after installing it a week ago. Galfer rear wave rotor! Custom work to make it work with ABS courtesy of @rojoracing53. I ended up needing to grind down the bolt heads ever so slightly for clearance but otherwise it's great. More importantly, it just looks cooler

Still looks pretty good though! You've come a long way...

BoBO · July 7th, 2014, 08:58 PM

Nice resto on the 300, you've come a long way. As long as you can keep tracking the bike in the future, you're good to go. I tried a 300 a few days ago, and love the extra torque over the 250.

tfkrocks · August 20th, 2014, 12:13 AM

Tokico 4-pot caliper and Galfer wave rotor

LittleRedNinjette · August 20th, 2014, 02:24 AM

I like that rotor.

Bigballsofpaint · August 20th, 2014, 02:03 PM

Looks like i accidently left enough room for the ABS line, never even though about that. Glad its all together and working Rebecca!

ea8383 · September 23rd, 2014, 08:54 PM

Yo Glad your okay! Holy **** that looks like more work than I have time to afford

jw what paint did you use there? The green kawi/ phone case
application method?

It's paint from colorite. Supposed to match OEM. It's close but not exactly the same.

tfkrocks · September 28th, 2014, 09:25 PM

Finally put in a rear brake light pressure switch. Rear brake hasn't turned on the brake light since I got woodcraft rearsets. Also did a rear brake reservoir delete because the damn thing didn't really fit well with all the crap I got going on in that spot.

JohnnyBravo · September 29th, 2014, 12:07 PM

I have my vortex pressure switch around here somewhere... Who uses rear brakes anyway?

LittleRedNinjette · September 29th, 2014, 12:21 PM

I do.

JohnnyBravo · September 29th, 2014, 12:23 PM

The more Gixxr-rrrrrrr-er calipers I see on bikes the more I want one... An red reflector rim stripes

LittleRedNinjette · September 29th, 2014, 12:26 PM

The red strips on the 2014 green SEs look good.

I like this ebay store. customizable in just about any way possible and precurved strips are way easier to get perfect than using a roll of rim tape.

I pretty much only use my rear brake to keep me from rolling when stopped. I like to tap the brakes if I'm alone at a light and a car comes rolling up behind me. Easier to tap the rear brake repeatedly than the front brake.

That makes sense, but I rarely sit at lights on one leg

Gonna have to check out the eBay store

I just realized i need that switch too...

Got the rearsets today.

Uh oh... Better call vortex, or buy the one they talked me into

LittleRedNinjette · September 29th, 2014, 06:40 PM

I already have it on order. It will be here Wednesday.

JohnnyBravo · September 29th, 2014, 07:53 PM

Good... I should probly switch mine out anyway

cuong-nutz · September 29th, 2014, 08:46 PM

My chinese one works.

tfkrocks · September 30th, 2014, 02:02 AM

Well you don't technically need the light switch if you remember that you'll need to use the front brake for alerting drivers behind you. I didn't have the switch for almost a year

I have so much bike **** waiting for me to take care of but I don't think I'll have time to get to most of it for a while. Also I'm lazy.

tfkrocks · November 4th, 2014, 04:05 AM

Lights on my Givi Top case. MOAR LIGHTS!

Hey bud, do you know what size line that is for the delete?

I'm pretty sure it's 5/16" ID. I ordered it from kurveygirl.com and there's only 2 options for the appropriate type of tygon tubing there. It's definitely not 1/4"

tfkrocks · November 12th, 2014, 06:44 PM

You are so cold, you're at absolute zero

Thank you sir!

$5.50 a foot isnt a bad price either really.....

What did you use as the cap?

It's an oem honda breather cap. I don't remember the part number but if you look up the Honda kit for this mod, get just that cap. Even though it comes as a nice kit, they don't include an appropriate material tube.

alex.s · November 13th, 2014, 12:54 PM

i think you don't want it to breathe though. brake fluid is hygroscopic. and water is much more compressible.

tfkrocks · November 13th, 2014, 02:39 PM

I don't if it actually breathes. It seemed like it slipped on tight to me.

alex.s · November 13th, 2014, 03:08 PM

so, more of a plug than a breather?
