Glad to know a cbr 900rr is still competition worthy

And Chain and Sprocket are coming soon too.

So you had someone else get the old bearings out for you? That was the hard part, I had to buy a set of blind bearing pullers. And also had to heat up the wheel around the bearing.

Really? The guy that runs our shop has a bunch of quads and such so he's ussually good with this sort of thing. And he just took a hammer and big punch and with a few well placed hits,,,they were out.

huh, lol I guess I put too much effort in. For me the spacing collar in between the bearings is what caused the problem. I could use a punch because that was in the way. Wish I owned all the "Factory Honda" tools.

I got a guy that works the parts counter at the local Honda dealer. And every time I need to do something that's new to me, I give him a call and he tells me what I need to do and how to do it. It wouldn't hurt to get to know someone like that. When I had to do the head gasket, I know for a fact I would have ruined the head if it wasn't for his advice.

I'm sure you already know this but use caution when adding lights. I had strobes and leds on my bike which caused all kinds of electrical issues. The RR is not that great at producing electricty
