mr_santini,

Good stuff. You may want to check & see if it has had the following...
Flapper mod/Soft rev limiter mod/Pair Valve removal. Those are pretty popular mods in the RC51 community.

Ray, Sorry for jackin' your thread. ;-) Post up some more pics of your new ride when you get a chance.

 

Hey Ray,

You left us hangin'. Ya got more pics of your RC? How are you liking your new ride?

 

Sorry, not much of a photo bug, but I'll get some more pictures... every time I'm out by the bike I'm usually already half geared up to ride.

At first, I was really feeling a lot of buyer's remorse. Compared to the way my R1 felt, this thing felt slow. Now that I'm starting to get used to the powerband, it's getting better and better with every ride. I do miss that upper-rev range pull of my last bike, but this bike has its own merits which is slowly starting to put a smile on my face.

I need to figure out the best grips for reducing the vibration, my R1 liked to shake my hands numb as well, but this bike past 8k rpm is almost excruciating. I'm gonna save up a bit and see what I can do to make this a bit more comfy to ride.
