Default Bought a CBR. What does it need?











I plan to take out the protective cage and install frame sliders.

The bike is missing:
-Lower fairing
-Passenger footpegs
-some bolts

What else? :0) Thanks in advance.

I would keep the cage. I wish I had them instead of sliders

If I were you I would get rid of both cages, not a fan. Get some new lowers and all the bolts that attach them. You also need to get rid of the zip ties that are holding on the license plate. Because the PO put a IT light you can't use the proper FE that Jardine makes specifically for that pipe and bike but you can get a Tripage adjustable tag bracket to hang the plate correctly. Also be sure to get a plate light shining on the plate so your don't risk getting a ticket. I say get matching levers whether that be OEM's or aftermarket shorties. It looks like the PO tried to spray paint the rearsets and they are chipping. If you're **** like me either get them powercoated or just be on the lookout for some good OEM one's. Other than that I say the bike is in excellent condition. It seems odd that the PO would have 90% perfect bike and totally screw up the 10% by removing lowers and putting zip ties where they don't belong. Hopefully you were able to pick it up for a steal man.

That plate looks like it'll flap around in the wind. Overall a fairly nice looking bike.
Lose the cage, find some lowers and bolt it all up properly to effectively lose all the zip ties.
