Nice looking bike but it's spoiled by the crap gold wheels . Gold on a bike NEVER looks right some how even if it is real gold leaf.

H,
to each his own, my old Bultaco125 Streaker (road racer) had gold wheels and it just made the bike look cheap (it wasn't) . Guys over there painted their wheels Gold for bling effect and just looked tacky the same can be said of painted NON-OEM silver instead of polished metal.

Looks sickk. I personally LOVE the look of gold rims. I'll be sending mine out to Nate to get done in gold.. I just gotta tear the bike down tomorrow..

[abs929cbrrr]

[abs929cbrrr]

BALLLINNNNN!

My friend had a VTR which I would whip around and man...that front wheel likes to come up pretty damn fast thats for sure.

ABS ma dude, how heavy is it?

[abs929cbrrr]

439 dry weight, so im prob around 500lbs wet. its heavyer then my 929rr, but it feels more stable and is not top heavy. still cant beat the 01 gsxr 750...that things like 70lbs lighter.

the 2 into 1 exhaust system saved 10lbs i belive over stock. 02-06s were 11 lbs lighter then 00-01s. either way i like it, and the sound that comes outta this exhaust is like thunder..our new dog hear it last night..she was so scared. i said tiki itsok, u've just never heard a RC51 before!

bought a competition werkes fender eliminator kit last night...i decided i didnt want that undertail im cool junk since i cant replace the lights if they go out.

oh and secondlook seat covers and tank bras went outta biz!!!!!!! f*ck now i cant get a tank bra.!

[McFizzer]

Ahhhh jealous!!! I will have to come out to PA this summer and we can hook up. Maybe letcha ride th 6 spd Fzr 1040 when its done!

[abs929cbrrr]

my buddy had a fzr1K, with a big bore kit...i dont like it , i think its just where the weight is, but it moves!
