Default Oh man 94 CBR into 08 GP Mod

I took my carbon fiber tail section and cut it strategically, as well as unnecessary bits of the sub-frame.

It looks about as close to a 07-08 Yamaha GP 800...(body wise) as you an get a 94 CBR.

Tail kicked way the hell up in the air using saddle clamps, etc.

I'll post some pics soon as I can...tired.

Ok...this is a pic of my bike and it's maybe 40 percent complete.

The problem I had/have with the 94 CBR 600 is:

1. The seating was too close to the bars and tank for a guy who is 5'10.

Since 1994 the big 4 have actually started making the bikes for the American market that...wow...surprise...fits the average

American body.

(What a concept! *rolls eyes with great and angry sarcasm,, so sarcastic they might melt metal*)

We are not all 4'10 jockey sized guys and gals over here in the great U.S. (Duh!)



2. Compared to a GP bike...or even some of the very latest models, (like the 06-07 R6 or R1)...the rear end of the CBR is too low.

Not aggresive enough.

Some guys are getting Busa's and other bikes and lowering the rear.

I like to do more than drag race and go in a straight line.



Since I have done this, the seating position feels awesome!!! I moved the seat back about 2 inches...

and also moved the handlebars

about 1 inch forward with some careful adjustments.

My arms are near full outsretched...and the bike fits me better.

3-4 inches does not sound like much...but in feel...it is like 3 feet.



I still have a lot of cutting and cleaning up to do...plus going to repaint the entire bike a dull..."powdercoated" like black...
then sling some red and electric blue in there...then race sticker up...and complete with coats of clear coat.
