Default First bike!

Hi! I'm 18 and i just bought my first bike. a 1999 CBR 600. Yosh pipe, lowered 3-4 inces, tinted windshield, HID lightbulb. i think that's it. It's nothing to fancy but that's how i wanted it. i want to make this bike my own! I'll try and get sum pictures up soon. I want to make some not too difficult power upgrades to it. i also am going to make it into a spilt rear seat. if anyone would give me some advice on what parts i need to make this work, that would be great! thanks!
-Zack

Welcome to the Forum, Zach, and congrats on the new bike. Like thrasher said, the MSF course is certainly a good idea if you haven't taken it.
Ride safe bud, and have fun.

Welcome aboard Zack!
There are a few split seat conversion threads out there so just check the F4/F4i forums to find them.
As far as power upgrades, not much U really need to do. Its already got a pipe on it & prolly a carb jet kit also. No need to dig into the motor for more HP, it would be cost prohibitive IMHO.
Good luck and enjoy the site!
