And I hear you on the front end swap. I have all the racetech stuff sitting on my shelf and going into my forks next week and all I can do is look at R1 forks on eBay...

Lol...You and your bikes. That's what; 3 since the ATL AMA race? Not that I'm jealous or anything...

Re: My New Bike FINALLY Arrived!
I hope so. Got the proper springs, gold valves, and new fork seals all ready to go in. Doin' the YZF MC swap and SS lines at the same time. But enough about my bike.
What's the goods on this baby? (hp, torque, 1/4 mile times, etc.) Looks like it started out as either a standard or a sport touring bike, but knowing you it'll probably be sick as hell when you're done.

Re: My New Bike FINALLY Arrived!
B,
Glad to see there is another "man of the house" who parks his bike where he wants. All this new man rubbish is making bikers soft.
From what I have seen of prices for RC51 kit you had better have some DEEP pockets, some nut wants 225 for a carbon FR fender & 325 for just one fork leg WTF are they smoking over there .

Re: My New Bike FINALLY Arrived!
That bike is awesome! I have a friend with the 599 version - he loves it.
A retuned CBR900RR motor - you have any idea what that bike is capable of? Are there reports of guys throwing on aftermarket ECMs and getting massive HP gains? It shouldn't be too costly to unleash the real beast inside there...

Re: My New Bike FINALLY Arrived!
Oh damn, that could have been a horrible experience. Glad you found it now and not later.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.
Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....
I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

You're supposed to send small parts like that to me so I can powdercoat them. Sheesh!
It's looking good though.
