Not so sure about the orange wheels, but otherwise...

Should be a beast out there, keep her rubber side down and have some fun.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

For 5k, that's a good deal. Do you have sound restriction at your local track? 103db is the limit for most tracks in California, excluding Laguna Seca which is 90db. I had to remove my Standard Area P full exhaust and shoot for a longer slip-on with baffle to reduce noise. I don't know how your CBR looks like, but looking at that bike you made the right decision. I always wanted a Green Ninja.

Thank you. We do not have any sound restrictions at the tracks that I run at.

One of those cool passes

Foxrider64 · October 25th, 2014, 07:30 PM

I am a fan of the orange wheels...

But then again I had a 2004 ZX6-RR that was Kawi green with Orange wheels stolen from me years ago.

Always wanted to do that scheme again.

lowcel · November 27th, 2014, 08:29 AM

I'm making some progress on the bike.

Rear brake reservoir delete.

Fresh oil in the forks.

Auto Tuner

In spent three weeks working on a quickshifter that I never could get working properly, it has been sent back.

Best grips ever!

New spring on the Elka rear.

New front Driven sprocket and DID chain.

New rear Driven sprocket.

K&N filter.

I can't wait! Unfortunately I won't be quite as easy to spot in my red power ranger suit. Ordered this Tuesday.

csmith12 · November 27th, 2014, 08:38 AM

cbinker · November 28th, 2014, 09:36 AM

nice suit, gonna be hot in that thing.

Thanks. It has tons of perforations so it shouldn't be bad.

Finesse · November 28th, 2014, 06:33 PM

Love it. It's so very Irish .... Have fun!

lowcel · November 28th, 2014, 09:28 PM

Suit didn't fit.

csmith12 · November 28th, 2014, 09:37 PM

Bummer dood, ya gots plenty of time to try again though

cbinker · November 28th, 2014, 11:02 PM

ah man that sucks. i am going to resort to getting a 2000 custom tailored suit because nothing fits.

lowcel · November 29th, 2014, 07:32 AM

I ordered an A* Orbiter, hopefully I have more luck with it. The last suit was so far from fitting I'm wondering if it may have been sized wrong.

lowcel · December 14th, 2014, 12:23 PM

Well the orbiter is a little tight but once it breaks in it should fit my fat ass.

I gave up on the Annitori quick shifter and went with Dynojet. After spending three weeks fighting the Annitori with no luck I spent an hour or so with the Dynojet and it works great.

I also bought some gas tank sliders and a shift rod extension.

The bikes are put up for a while so the sliders will be installed later on.

The only other thing I have done for the bikes is I bought them a new bike hauler. I traded in my Lexus CT200h and Toyota Tundra in order to save some money.

csmith12 · December 15th, 2014, 01:05 PM

See ya at Mid-O brudda!

Gurk · December 15th, 2014, 05:10 PM

Dude please give me a shoutout once you test that hauler. I have a Tiguan which does the job fine for a 4x6 enclosed and my R6 but I want a larger trailer which can fit 2 bikes + everything bike related in it. I might end up trading the Tiguan for something more capable.

Will do. I have hauled the trailer with more weight than this with the V6 4Runner my mom had a few years back and it did fine. I do plan to add Firestone air bags to the rear just to keep it a little more level when towing.

lowcel · February 8th, 2015, 01:46 PM

I actually did a little something to the bike.

Tank sliders.

Then changed the rear number plate to yellow and added my number. There are a few bubbles and wrinkles but it's good enough.

csmith12 · February 8th, 2015, 02:54 PM

Nice!
