Bought something I probably shouldn't have.

[kilika2]

I know it's quite a leap from my 600. Heck I know it's a leap from a carb 1k, but I got it at a steal, so I had to pounce. Either way it needs a little work, all cosmetic. I think I can have her up and ready in about 5 days. 2006 17,000 miles, a few more than I wanted but it got down to this one or another one and the guy sold it out from under me while I was on the 2 hour drive to pick it up. His was a 2004 and this was an 06 which they had added the steering damper and the different clutch.

I had to add it to photobucket because the files were too large. I will add some photos when I get home too.
Don't mind the crap in the background (not the FZR, she's not crap) I had to put it in the shop and we are getting ready for a large yard sale.

She is indeed sexy. Now get modding! And if you need anything for that lady, you let me know.

Thanks Darrin, I got her about a stones throw from your house. Ever heard of Royalty Racing (if you have and it's bad, just break it to me easy)

Nate, So far I haven't found anything mechanically I need, but someone has changed some parts I don't care for (ie. the blue windscreen), and I'm sure there is always a need for some pc parts. Also I will still get a chain and sprocket set from you, just this purchase put me behind a little bit.

Mechanically...hahaha, silly Chris. You have a bike they make parts for now. I was talking more on the lines of Marchesini wheels, levers, Scorpion exhausts...you know, the good stuff.

so when are we meeting at the gap again so I can chase that machine?

[kilika2]

My uncle and I have been talking about if it would be feasible while I am on spring break. Or at least the half week after semester before summer school starts up. Soon.

Took her for a test spin today, even though it's 38f, first I noticed that the shift arm was bent because she was laid over on that side, so I decided to try and bend it back out....sheered it off. So after finding a suitable replacement, case bolt with some plastic spacers, I was ready to go...until I realized that I didn't have a license plate holder because of the fender eliminator kit.... Anyway off I went........off I went indeed. Holy smokes.....

First world problems is there is nowhere on the tank to mount my suction cup for the go pro.

side mounts are better anyway, love watching the suspension work

Chris.

And this is why you need a Contour!

. And I thought about putting it on the fairing but I didn't want to have to worry about it fallin off while on the first ride. I was trying to listen to everything else.

And if best buy would have sold the contour so that I could have bought it for 150 off retail I would have. haha.
