Hey Daniel, is that a new chain or did you just clean it up ? Either way it looks good, as does the sprocket and wheel. Looks like it's coming along nicely. I looked at your picassa images, too bad I don't speak Spanish (although living here in S Florida it would be a big help).

Ola Daniel ! The best way is to post what part you are looking for on the forum - many of the guys have good secondhand parts which will cost little, and will work as well as new ones at very little cost.
If you read through the posts on things like camchains, regulators etc you will find the names of good new part suppliers that the guys have used. I buy most of my parts from England, and they are generally here in about 10 days ( best was 4 days) I find the original Honda parts are often not as good as replacement parts from other suppliers, which are also cheaper........!!

@Kc31019: Roads here are mostly flat and straight where I live, but my country is huge so it has a lot of different roads to ride on, check these pics from my latest trip to some mountain roads 800km from where I live: http://picasaweb.google.com/motodog74/LasSierras2008

@idodirt: Thanks, it looks like new, but the truth is, I cleaned it with some fuel, then lubricated with chain lube. The amount of dirt and ugly black stuff was unbelievable. The bike was only used for short trips around town for the last two years.

@Shadow1: Thanks, I'll look around the forum to see what I could find. I hate to have my CBR sitting on my yard just for that stupid plastic thing! [:@]

Those are great pictures! It must of been quite a ride being up that far. Are the line ups for gas really that long?? I'm surprised that your exhaust doesnt burn a hole in your side bags!!

Thanks for sharing!

I'm interested in replacing my stock seat for a Corbin seat. If anyone has one they are willing to sell let me know.

Gill,

Have you thought of re doing your seat with a local upholster guy I did and was very happy with the result cost $ 150 AUS.

Looks great! Thanks for the idea WAZ57. I'm going to look a few up and print off your pics. Did you do anything with the cusion to beef it up? Is it real leather?

It looks great, I'm looking to do something similar for the back rest and the luggage rack. So far the standard seat feels comfortable (though I've only ridden 100km on my cbr so far :P)

WAX57....I sent your pics on to a guy here where I live, and he will relicate your seat for me. I liked it that much. did you add any more cushion to your seat, or just use the exsisting ones?
