Hey everyone! Name is Adam and I'm from Topeka, KS. Just bought an '08 CBR600RR Graffiti edition. Only had 680 miles on it when I bought it so it is in mint condition and completely stock. Owned a Ninja 500 for a few years as a starter bike so this is a nice upgrade.

As I said it is completely stock so I am looking at doing some minor mods to it right now. Been searching around the site trying to find out what looks good with the Graffiti edition. If you have any tips/suggestions please by all means let me know.

Going to attempt to upload pictures so we'll see how it turns out. Pictures aren't the greatest so bear with me.

1st mod that is almost required on all Honda CBRs: Get rid of the stock signals! Seriously, you might tear off your turn signals before you drag a knee or scrape pegs with the stocks. And "whale tails" should only be mentioned when discussing aquatic mammals and thongs

Welcome aboard. Nice looking bike

Hey Adam. Pictures look great.

Now do a Fender Elem / Get a yoshi / flush mounts and integrated rear signals - might I suggest a TST unit.

Welcome!

Thanks for the messages and suggestions. Definitely going to look into getting a fender eliminator kit, probably from cbr heaven. Just deciding between the smoked and red lens color. Want it to look good but also be pretty visible.
After that will be flush mounts and sliders.
