Man, its been a while and alot has been done. To start it off I laid down my cbr about 2 weeks ago. Thats about 1200 in damage. Im ok at least. But two days after that my battery, jets, and seat vinyl all came in the mail.
For the jets I got 117.5 Mains and 17.5 pilots. With the pods and the Jardine exhaust she runs excellent! The battery I got was a UB1222 battery off ebay for $22. It fits really nice under my seat. She is a kick only but fires up on first kick every time. She's a little sluggish taking off initially but I believe thats from the accelerator pump. I need to remove it. And the number one carburetor overflow likes to randomly puke out a little fuel about every 4-5 hours of sitting.
I ended up chopping up the entire harness to move the majority of the electronics under the rear of the seat, stuck the flasher in the headlight bucket, and removed the whole gauge cluster, dummy lights and all. Changed my left hand controls to one off a 00 kawi z1000. And put a new Continental Conti Go tire on the front. I am so pleased with it. Just need to paint the wheels, tank, and cut the side panel tabs off the frame.
She is definately not meant for wet weather with the short seat. Some may like what Ive done, some will probably hate it. I like it so thats all that matters. Let me know what you think.
