Hola from Magnolia Tx. Just picked up and 04' 1000rr with 600 miles & severe road rash due to a moron who stole it from a friend. I'm now in the process of replacing parts, skin, etc.; but also getting informed about this horsepower heavy bike. My normal ride is an 03' bmw k1200rs. I'm having a good time learning about the bike & all the goodies available to make it "special." I hope I can get info from you guys on what & where to buy & what not to buy. I've already found out my local Honda dealership is the place to bend over & get reemed with a clip on sideways.

Regards,
PrairiePete

 

welcome! '04 1krr w/600 miles - awesome! w/severe road rash - not so awesome! if you can get some pics up (before & after). we like pics!

 

Hello & Welcome!!

 

welcome , yeah go the pics!
hope everything works out with the bike, this site has a wealth of knowledge[8D]
im sure u will be in good hands

 

Welcome to the forum prairiepete. Some of the stealers.. aka dealers like to use a strap-on occasionally. You should be able to find better deals on the net. Great find on a 04 1000RR with 600 miles, not even broken in yet.

 

Hi and welcome, Honda will rape you and your wallet any chance they get. Believe me you don't get used to it

 

Thats a great bike to pick as a bargain for repair, Love to see some detailed pics hopefully we can point out some cheap fix`s for you. Welcome to the boards

 

hello and welcome to the site! good luck with the build-up. and like everyone said, stay away from the dealers for parts. i always have used www.bikebandit.com for oem parts. they give discounts for ama members. just something to keep in mind

 

I tried to upload pics right off the bat to show but got "file too large message." Wow, this really is a big bike!

Pete

 

LOL Open the pictures in a photo program like paintshop or photoshop or something like that and resave them after you decrease the image size as a jpeg file. If you have trouble with this feel free to send them to me and I will fix it for you.....
