There is only room for one Brooke around here. I'm sorry, you can't be the one.

 

One does not simply rename their bike! I guess I'll have to give her a nickname to use around these forums...

 

yea this is Brooke...you understand

 

yea... not only is she drop dead sexy, she's cool as shit too. :fact

and did i say hot?!

 

:laugh



Bike looks good, OP... Just not THAT good. :fact

 

:stupic

Always loved the Fiat replica scheme

 

Brooke and I are just going to ignore this blasphemous banter.

 

What kind of sliders did you have when you crashed?

 

I have no clue, Some cheapo's that the previous owner installed. I have a cheapo pair on now as well.... Might have to look into some nice sliders soon... haha

 

Woodcraft FTW.

 

:fact

 

opcorn:

 

Digging the Fiat fairings a lot!

+1 for the Woodcrafts, I'm going to be getting a set too after my lowside at the track

 

10s in the 1/4 mile with stock wheel base :fact. The pics can o on for days!!!

 

Oh Nooo I have to cut the fairings!? Hmm maybe I can modify em a little bit... Ill have to look at em and figure somethin out. But she is indeed damn sexy! It is an honor to have uknowinely named my bike after her haha. Even though you's guys won't let me use that name around these parts

You intend to modify the frame sliders? That is the worst idea I've EVER heard with regards to frame sliders-- You're better off not running them at all than Jimmy-rigging them so they snap off, just so you don't have to cut the fairings that are gonna get royally fcked up when you lay it down and that "modified" frame slider breaks off.


Cut the fairings, take your time, make it look good. Don't half-ass it.

 

On another note, Anyone have any suggestions for other modifications for the future? I'm kind of trying to get a list going for when I get back from Boot camp.

 

Track time!

 

I plan on hitting up Mid-Ohio some time this summer when I get back! I need to get me a full Suit though, I dunno how much they charge to rent one. Also I hope they don't mind my battery tray being ziptied on one side.... It broke and I haven't had the time to replace.... haha

 

Love the fairings! Where did you get them from/brand

 

you named a motorcycle?! wtf is wrong with people???


s3aturnr

 

It's bad luck to sail an unnamed ship my friend. And when I get home ill get the link to whoever asked where I got the fairings from

 

N/A - Edited: Question answered within thread, I overlooked somehow...

Great to be back on the road again isnt it? Im sure you missed it

 

haha I wish, I live in Ohio so its too cold to ride now. I haven't gotten the opportunity to ride it since I crashed. I guess I'll just have to wait till spring! haha

 

Hmm, might have to try and sell her this summer, those new r6's are looking damn sexy....

Thinking about getting that exhaust to replace my scratched dented up one. What does everyone think? Anyone have a Werkes exhaust?

 

She looks good bro...what mirrors did u have on her when u wrecked tho?

 

I don't know the brand of those either, they are pig ear style mirrors though, with led turn signals in them. kind of liked them because they were low profile, but they were ugly at the same time haha. I think I might get some Bar end mirrors sometime

 

Sooo, If I were to maybe you know try and sell my bike, how much do you think I could get for it? It has 18k miles on it sadly.... So probably not much Im assuming

 

Just put on the Rim tape! Whadya think? Side note, Rim tape is a pain to put on haha

 

looks good! and those fairings are sweet (if I hadn't already told you that haha)

 

Hey a compliments a compliment! I'll take it again! haha thanks!

 

My friend has an R1 that looks similar to this. His is green. Selling it for 4200 though....

 

Any pictures by chance? :sing

 

So I have another question that maybe ya'll's can help me with. I was searching around and it seems I need to get an adapter, but im not sure what exactly I need. I am trying to put on these bar end mirrors I got off of eBay as temporary mirrors, and I cant quite figure out how in the hell I am supposed to install em. Heres a picture of what I'm working with,

I couldn't quite figure out how they stay in the bar, as when I removed my bar ends they were threaded and these don't have threads. So I removed that part and tried this,

It seemed like it was going to work and all was well until I screwed the bar end so far and the throttle started sticking to it. I'm kind of confused, and seeing as the mirrors are from ebay, There aren't any damn directions, and I can't just ask them haha. Any ideas? am I missing something blatantly obvious here?

 

That's how I put the bar end mirror on my bike when I had them on. I only used it on the clutch side though. You can try putting a washer on the throttle side to try to keep it from sticking which is obviously dangerous.

If you don't want to go that route, I think some companies make adapters that will make bar end mirrors work without having to put it in between the bar ends and grips.

 

I tried to look around online for a set of adapted Bar ends, but the only ones I could find were made for newer bars, I couldn't find any with the giant threaded ends haha.
Soo I took matters into my own hands and decided to grind the hell out of my old bar ends. Heres the finished product!

Folded

And heres what I did to the bar ends, lots of grinding!
