Hey guys, new to the forum and just got my 1st cbr (2001 Erion 929) which I'm almost done bringing back to life as it sat for a while. Definitely has been a learning experience for me and learning more every day. I've learned alot from this site and hopefully I can return the favor in the future to all here.

 

welcome!
i had that same bike, until a truck killed it. loved that bike too. all is good now though, replaced her with another 929rr! you will love that bike. i'm sure you realized that by now. they are great bikes and have the best trunk, just ask the 929 section! nice to have another 929rr member on board!

any questions? ask away.......

Thanks Demon, I'm sure I'll love the bike.....if I could ever get her finished! Just did a bunch of bs things to her. I picked her up from a friend a few months ago and she just needed some tlc and a GOOD cleaning. This is what she looked like when I 1st got her...
Now after a new tank, windscreen, rear tire, misc missing/ broken parts and fixing an electrical problem and painting the wheels, here's what she looks like now...


A buddy of mine has her now cause the chain adjusting bolt froze inside the swingarm and I sheared of the head when i was replacing the chain and sprockets....

 

nice work!
frozen adjuster, how in the world did that happen? hopefully you can get it out without too much trouble. are you going to stunt it?

 

Welcome to cbrforum! I'm about 5 min from you.. Hit me up if you want to ride one Sunday morning or something...

 

i'm assuming it froze cause the guy left the bike uncovered, outside, and it sat for over a year . That adjusting bolt is hardened steel and 3 people already have tried to drill that sob out with no success. I got lucky though and found another swingarm so I'm just gonna swap it out. It was set as a stunt bike already. Still has the cage, 12 bar and third brake setup, but i replaced the dented tank with a fresh one. I'm gonna change the 12 bar as I have a new one and Hotbodies undertail.

 

Cool man, absolutely. The more riding buddies we can get together, the better. Thanks! Hopefully my bike will be done this weekend.

 

Glad you found us & enjoy what we have to offer. Definitely pay it forward.

You've done a good job cleaning up your Erion. Looks like its found a good home w/ you.

Welcome aboard!

 

Make sure that the new swing arm is black. Only the erion had a black one. The rest were aluminum, like mine in the picture.

 

I got an OEM Erion swingarm so it will still be all original and match the frame perfectly!
