1989 CBR 600 F1 fighter/dont have stock parts build!
but look very nice
The oil cooler looks a little close to the front tire, Id try to raise it up a bit if you can. Mine is higher and i still hit it with the fender (lightly) going over big bumps like into an alley. Not sure what the roads are like by you but i would flip it upside down so it bolts on from the bottom to give you a little more space between the tire.
Since your not running a front fender you have a bit more room but if you decide to run one you will need to raise up the oil cooler.

yeah i know what your saying, but i sat on my tank and literally jumped on it to try to get it to hit and it doesnt look like ill have any problems. ya never know till you get out on the street though
Ive also found the rear set with peg for 45 bucks, alot better than the 150 it would have been from the dealer.
things left to do would be to repaint tail possibly, re paint tank possibly, repaint forks, refinish headers, paint front of engine possibly, and... mby do some powdercoating?

***just a little reminder to everybody to look over your bike well before you go for a ride. i just noticed that the bolt that holds my shift arm to the rearset was backing out and was VERY loose.

and a few picture from this afternoon!!!
so first, whats been new with me, i decided to tigerstripe the windscreen flat white and frame color, finally got real bolt for the windshield.
then i pulled the fairing off and stripped EIGHT yes thats right, EIGHT layers of paint off of it before filling in eight holes and one crack. their were four bolt holes that are no longer being used, two on the brake side just above the blinker, and another two on the clutch side right next to the windscreen.
Another two pictures showing the full bike with the exhaust back on.
And in-case anyone was wondering about the header paint, here's a picture of it so far. ive gone on 2-4 hour rides, 70* air temp, ive sat in traffic, and it still looks fairly good! needs to be cleaned, but ill do that when its warmer lol
