So with a lot of folks posting their build threads, figured I'd start my own and post pics along the way. This might start to look tacky with a lot of gold parts on there, not my style, but figured yellow and gold will be a lot different than any others on this forum.

Current important mod list:

1. Full Leo Vince Factory R SS headers ,Ti can
2. Bazzaz Z-Fi fuel controller
3. Carrozzeria wheels
4. Accumen gear indicator
5. Brembo RCS
6. Fren Tubo Carbotech Type 4 brake lines
6. Alth full floating front rotors
7. Machined/lightened stock rear rotor
8. Stock gearing/drive train
9. Shermoto clutch lever / Brembo brake lever
10. Renthal clip-ons
11. Vortex rearsets
13. Woodcraft case covers
14. Woodcraft frame sliders
15. Vortex rear spools
16. Armour bodies bodywork
17. TechSpec snakeskin traction pads
18. Graves exup eliminator

Why are you going with 07 forks? Most people want the 08+ forks right?

Here's the biggest issue I'm having:

When I just sit on the bike and practice, I seem to lock my outer leg on the tank, but when I see the pics from when I'm on the track, they are not locked with the tank.

The other issue is getting my head down. I seem to be not doing that consistently. Eventhough I feel concious about it, it feels low, but I'm actually not that low.

All I am going to do now is to put the bike up on the stands and practice day and night, whenever time allows to do so.

Any other suggestions? I'll post pics tonight.

That's probably the root cause. While practicing on stands, I'm way back, but on the track and braking, I'm up close to the tank. I will need to fix that somehow.

That also be the reason my head is not lower as it should be.

So bummed can't get to the track sooner to try these out :(

lol, its not hindi. Bollywood is in Hindi, this is Kollywood, in a language called "Tamil", haha. I speak a bunch of languages (understand 8-10, speak 4, very fluent in those 4). Apart from Indian languages, I can read some french, and spanish, cant understand speech though. I can understand and speak a bit of Mandarin.

I love languages :fact. Most of my chinese colleagues and friends say my actual pronounciation is pretty spot on for me just learning it in grad school from friends.

So Nick finally came through with my number plate decals, just the way I asked him. It actually surpassed expectations. I did a shabby job of putting them on, but I do love it regardless, its in the Indian flag theme, and it must have taken a bit of work for him to get it right. Props to him again.

My next project with him is all the track layouts that I've been to for my car rear window ;) (ECR, MSRC, MSRH, NHMS, Laguna), and many more to come I hope.

Onto the pics:

Bazzaz or the power commnder have their own o2 sensors and hardware.....but yes, they both use an o2 senaor to gather data/make changes.

I'm in talks with a colleague to get his 2011 R1. Its crashed (at T-Hill), dont know the extent of the damage. He says its all cosmetic and just rashed up fairings. It was good enough for him to ride it back home after the crash. Will take a look at it soon and if the price is right, Imma get it as a project.

He's a bit on the edge....riding to T-Hill from south bay area, crashed it, and rode it back home (thats over 3hr drive one way) :screwy

I can second, third, and fourth that ECU flash! My bike performed flawlessly at the track this past weekend and pulled like a freight train! :fact

Sweet deal on the R1 too, hope it all works out brutha! That'd be a killer deal. Course, I hear for the extra weight, the crossplane doesn't add much but a cool sounding 1000. I know a couple shops, one who sponsors an AMA rider getting rid of S1000RR and upgrading to the ZX-10's. Apparently, they're tits! Just food for thought... If you're looking for a 1000...

It takes average person 2 minutes, but a non-motivated one months :sing

My focus has been off the bike since my last trackday. Work has been great, filed a couple new patents and work is keeping me happy for now.

The R1 is going to be flip project, if I get it. Might keep it till spring and then profit.

That's what I was saying. Sweet! :cheers

Glad to hear your new job is going well also Ram! That's great!

so the guy traded his 2011 R1 AND his 2010 Harley for a 2013 Diavel. That means I dont get the R1 :(

On a side note, just bought the SBK reservoir delete kit fro Agg Racing. I need to switch out the rear brake lines to Fren Tubo's anyway, still running stock lines on the rear. Will do a front flush and bleed and replace the rear while I'm at it.

Looking for a project 09+ R1 for a street bike :sing
