thanks guys.
the levers are the ebay ones...
Brake Clutch Lever For Honda CBR 600 RR 2003 04 05 06 | eBay
they took about 2 weeks roughly if i remember correctly i ordered them on the 6th and i had them earlier this week.
The tire hugger will be staying on the bike or atleast that's the plan unless it looks horrible with the undertail, bit I'd rather keep it. and as for spare parts, i tend to keep stuff i like having spares since I play with my bike alot and it's bound to go down sooner or later, so I like having parts to replace

Got the levers today in the mail, can't believe how nice they look/feel. Thanks for the link.

quick question, does anyone know how well the red decals from replicals.com match to the italian red?
The only damage on the bike is on the right side fairing. I'm dropping off the f4i upper, the under tail and the solo seat cowl next weekend to be sprayed italian red, not going to bother having the cbr decal put on the upper, I don't really want it there. but with the damage to the right fairing, I'm considering taking one of my spare sets of side fairings and having them sprayed gloss black and then putting the replicals decals on, then having them clearcoated, but I'm curious about how good they are for color match.
the only damage on the bike. not a huge deal to some, but I'd like to take care of it.
anyways the upper piece of the mainstay arrived since the one from my f3 was broken during it's joyride... only thing I'm waiting on are the frame sliders but other than that I've got everything here, just waiting for springtime and I'll do some swapping.
once I find out more about the replicals kit, I might pull the trigger and order some from them and have my spare fairings redone to match the originals.
Also on a side note, I wanted to get a leather jacket this year anyways and I lost a bunch of weight from lastyear so my jacket and my helmet were both a little too big, I ended up getting some new stuff that matches the new bike.

I'll get some pics up once the fairings arrive back from paint, hopefully within a couple of weeks, but I told the guy no rush.

I just replaced that same decal but on the other side. I was also concerned about he silver matching so I emailed replicas about it. They mailed me out small (maybe 5"x1") samples of both the red and silver for my bike. The silver was almost dead on anid I ordered the piece. It matches beautifully. You can ask them for a red sample. When you do it,make sure that you have a hair dryer.. Heat will help it to stretch around the area.. I am pretty impressed with the material.

I sent them an email inquiring, i saw a link on their site to their color chart and it shows their "honda red"
says used on f4 f4i 929 954 600rr
which concerns me because out of those the f4i, 929 and 954 use winning red
the f4 and 600rr use italian red, so which red does theirs match? I'll wait to hear back i suppose
