Going back together
notice the manual, that sucker saved my *** over and over




Some heat shielding i cut and applied to the battery tray since the aluminum shield went away.

it isn't pictured but i also put another piece that continues down the side above where the mid pipe would be

The exhAust goingback on


this pic shows that you can not see the heat shielding, even from this angle its barely visible

While sticking to layers of the shielding togethor i knocked over the gorrila glue, and for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to put that spill crap (like kitty litter) on it..well it turned into a clump that was very hard to remove..dumb move lesson learned..


I painted all the rear set bolts w/ VHT semi gloss black. some of them got messed up on install so i taped it all off and sprayed those on the bike.

 

So the next few shots are older shots, but are for comparison for a before/after effect. i don't know why my bike looks orange in some of these pics it definitely isn't.




Not pictured but done at the same time was a black *** radiator gaurd

 

Allright so this next go around here is going to have a crap load of pictures, they are all high res pics so do them some justice and make them big. My step dad took these while i was home on con leave in early november. The new things you'll see in these pictures Are Carbon Fiber (100% real) corner headlight covers, and sprocket cover. The CF is made by a guy named Mick in Fremont CA. his company is MC Creations. he is a bad *** guy, great product, with a stock fit and out standing service. As of now he only makes parts for the 07-10 CBR600RR, you'll see a few more of his parts on my bike as this progresses.
Also pictured will be my passenger pegs for the first time. They have been modified by Tripage LED to have 24 LED's that are hooked up as brake, running. and turn signals. There is 16 that face the rear and 8 in the side.

so to start off my favorite picture of my bike.

 

These are going to be close ups of the accents.

Carbon Fiber corner head light cover, Stock these are a dull black plastic

CF sprocket cover


Exhaust





passenger pegs, i don't have a good shot of the back of them, you may be able to see the LED's in another shot, but this is a good one of the 8 in the side

 

Allright next up, one of my favorite mods. a yoyodyne adjustable throttle. I'm using the 1/6 turn plate. It makes quite a difference. Stock throttles are 1/4 turn or 90degrees where s the 1/6 turn is 60 degrees to WOT. its great, no more re adjusting your hand to go WOT or bending your arm in a ridiculous way. The yoyodyne is also an aluminum tube as oppose to plastic like OEM. I had this installed by Shawn at Trackoholics in oceanside, ca. Awesome shop, awesome dude. This sucker was a PITA to put on, first the stock housing wouldn't come off because the metals were dissimilar and had fused. the angle that the Philips screw was at made it impossible to smack to de fuse the screw, so i told him to just brake that sucker off. sounds bad but it really isn't. there is a plastic nipple on the stock housing which keeps it from rotating, so just smacked it until that sucker spun a little and then that was that. the next problem in lied in actually connecting the throttle cables. huge pain because of where they are located. on a gsxr this would literally take 20 min. on my bike 2+ hours.
the housing

comparison the old tube in the middle, new one on the top and a random grip at the bottom

close up of the tube, a bit had to be cut off to make it fit on stock clip ons, no biggy easy day

far away

close up

 

Here we go, we are now to to how my bike sits in my garage at this very moment. Some more beautiful carbon fiber from Mick at MC Creations. this will have lots of comparison pics, because i took a lot, because one of them is a fairly significant piece. so with out further ado.

1st up a fairly small piece, changed out the stock aluminum front brake reservoir bracket with a carbon fiber one.
