never seen that scheme before, but i've also never seen a non-oem rework that looks that legit. the one thing that might be the giveaway tho - the shadow on the "RR" is missing.

condition looks good enough from those pics, i would also leave as is.

 

Thanks - yeah i really like the way it looks but theres just a bunch of little dings here and there that of course i notice

 

dings and nicks are going to happen. just imagine how pissed you'll be once you replace them all and in a few months you find nicks and scratches....

 

Your CBR looks good (in pictures at least) so I wouldn't sweat it to much unless there is a bunch of trouble that we cannot see from the pictures. Best wishes!

 

I'm digging that. It looks good flip flopped. Do like I did, get the tank repaired and resprayed. Get some vinyl, tape off the tank where you want the end of the "wings", cut it on cardboard, then transfer to vinyl. I got the vinyl for free and did mine. I am extremely picky, and get easily frustrated, but it was simple.

 

Leave it, the bike looks good

 

Thanks - yeah i ended jumping on it cause i like the way it looked so much

I've been trying to find someone to knock out the two dents in it but so far nothing

I ended up taking off the front cowl and respraying it which i think came out pretty good as per the pictures.

my next "to-do" on the bike is mess with the front suspension. I have a feeling the settings arent stock - it looks tampered with. So now im going through the service book to get the default settings to put it back to that and then adjust from there

 

I just got a integrated tail light and new plate mount


Question - How do i know if the chain needs to be replaced?

 

post a picture of it and i'll tell you.

what do your sprockets look like? look down the line of the links from rear sprocket to countershaft sprocket - are there any kinked or stretched links? rust isn't ideal, but in NY, that can happen i'd imagine and a *little* is okay.


where are you at as far as chain adjustments?

 

Snapped a few photos - Let me know what you think.
