My bike and a question about Optimum Perf. Fairings
Hello.
I don't post much here, but if you have great memory you'll remember how I got myself a crashed CBR and started restoring it.
Everything is going fine, even though it looked bad when I got it.
This is from the day I got it. You can clearly see the messed up forks and bent rear...
More of the same. Check out the exhaust.
What I have fixed so far:
Forks
Radiator
Bent rear frame
Rear wheel
Exhaust
Make the engine turn over... (it was easier than I thought, oil had found it's way on top of the pistons so I just took the plugs out and drained the cylinders)
+ all the little things I have forgotten about.
Here it is in its current state:
It's running great (and straight), but I still have a few things to fix.
I decided to order new fairings (all the other parts I changed were used), and some other parts I'll change for cosmetic reasons.
Here's my question: I ordered a full set of fairings and a bunch of other parts from optimum performance a week and a half ago, but haven't heard back from them.
I'm a so-called international customer, and they require that I pay by wire transfer. So far so good, but I haven't gotten a quote on shipping yet and don't know how much I should transfer...
Anyone know if they are on vacation or something? Closed during summer? Closed down?
I can't wait that much longer if I want to ride it this fall.
Sorry about the long post, but if you have any information regarding opp I'd be interested in hearing it.
Take care,
Gunnar "Safety Fast"

RE: My bike and a question about Optimum Perf. Fairings
Well I finally got to hear back from OPP, and my bike is getting all new bodywork within the next few weeks + a couple other goodies (puig double bubble).
Shipping will be a killer though... over $500
But I had already calculated that into the cost, so it really doesn't matter.
We have a very short season for riding here, and half of it is done with already, so I guess I'll have all winter to paint and assemble it.
I'll come back with pictures once I got stuff in place.
