I've been working on this bike since the 1st of the year. Finally got it done. Mods include: Lindemann Engineering front and rear reworked suspension (makes this the best riding bike I have ever ridden), Galfer wave rotors front and rear and Galfer custom braided stainless lines. Carbon fiber clutch and sprocket covers, chain guards, gilles tooling rearsets, Rizona gribs and turn signals. European spec Fireblade Decals. Leo Vince Carbon fiber muffler, Bluegauges.com illumniglo gauges and replaced about anything that looked bad including the radiator and swingarm with new parts. I've got alot of take off parts that work but may have some cosmetic faults if anyone is interested.

lookin sweet love the red wheels looks like a brand new bike!

 

Nice work!!!

 

I had the wheels powder coated to match the striping. I have replaced damn near everything but the frame and the motor... (LOL). The upper cowl, fuel tank and middle cowl sections are original, along with the forks, wheels, and rear shock. Other than that it has either been replaced, painted, or carbon fibered...

 

nice bike! she a looker! How she ride? mileage?

 

It rides like a dream. Had Ed Sorbo over at Lindemann Engineering do the forks and rear shock. Best bike I've ridden on.

Don't know about the mileage (bike has 15300) yet. Just filled up the tank for the 1st time.

I got the bike last fall for a winter project.

She looks so nice man....great built!

 

Thanks,

Alot of time, sweat, and $$ went into this one. I think it's a keeper.... I previously had a 96 solid red which I sold when I got my RC51. Always wished I would have kept it. Now I have one that I could go a little crazy on and not screw up the originality of it like my 96 was.

Hey...great find on the FireBlade decal on the belly....was it stock order? newer models don't have the Capitol B on Blade...Honda implement this post Baba's retirement.

 

They are stock decals from England for a 96 European spec CBR. I got them from David Silver Spares. Took 2 tries to get the background color right. Nice to have here in the states, Makes it a little more unique.
