It's been a long winter, and still another month before I can ride her... I've got a pile of spares and all I'm missing are number plates. In the last 8 months I've installed:

Galfer superbike brake lines
Acumen gear indicator
HRC throttle
Yoyodyne fairing stay
BMC race filter
Woodcraft sliders
CRG levers
Woodcraft case covers
Power Commander
Akra Evo full Ti exhaust
Woodcraft rearsets
Sharkskinz painted by yours truly
Graphics by some guy in Utah and ebay
Stomp grips
Gilles Tooling chain adjusters
Renthal 520 sprockets
DID 520 chain
PAIR plates
Lightech gas cap

Looks sharp.

Jetbdude · 04-16-2008, 07:25 AM

Looking good Phobe

Coming to Grattan?

seamus · 04-16-2008, 07:57 AM

If you don't mind me asking, between the bike and the repair parts, how much did you spend?

SheepOfBlue · 04-16-2008, 07:59 AM

Seems like black pin striping would get you a legal license plate since you likely need yellow plates....

Looks good but needs more blue

Shenders1 · 04-16-2008, 08:26 AM

Very nice indeed.

Did you finally get it dynoed successfully?

RedRider · 04-16-2008, 08:29 AM

Looks really good!

bwhip · 04-16-2008, 09:10 AM

Looks like an awesome track weapon. You are going to have so much fun on that badboy.

ONEvcs · 04-16-2008, 09:37 AM

Looks very nice indeed.

CBRVFR · 04-16-2008, 09:45 AM

Looks like you did a great job.

Bikerboy1974 · 04-16-2008, 09:57 AM

Great work Phobe! Came a long ways to make that track weapon! Now have fun using it!

FrenchieR6 · 04-16-2008, 09:58 AM

I like it... very nice

I haven't tallied it all up yet, but somewhere in the neighbourhood of ten grand.

We don't use yellow plates here, only white. Novice racers are identified by red numbers.

Not yet.... I'll probably drop it off next week.

Can't wait.

Jetbdude · 04-16-2008, 10:06 AM

WTF is up with Grattan and everybody this year

I don't know about everyone else but for us it's 70-80 hours of driving and a lot of time and money. It would have to be just about the only trip I take all year. Sucks...

Bikerboy1974 · 04-16-2008, 10:34 AM

I'd be going this year if I wouldn't have all my issues going on. Had a buddy ready to lend me his Gixxer 600 track bike for the trip. I hope to get everything handled and make possibly an '09 event....I'd like to meet some of the fine folks I have gotten to know on here in person...and get back on a track!

Bikerboy1974 · 04-16-2008, 10:36 AM

Love the look on it Phobe...now the good stuff...any guesses on the dyno?? I can't wait to hear your results on it!

ND4SPD · 04-16-2008, 10:38 AM

Looks sharp, phobe.

I gotta think it'll lay down close to 110.

Very nice indeed!!! Good work!!

Just have them change the variables and you can make it say what ever you want to hear

Mine was only @ 135

phobe · 04-16-2008, 02:09 PM

Ya without the correction factor its well below 100 for sure up here at 3500 feet.

Baketech · 04-16-2008, 04:07 PM

Nice work... for a hothead...

Firestorm · 04-16-2008, 07:04 PM

Looking good. Where did you tuck away the rear fluid reservoir?

Baketech · 04-16-2008, 08:09 PM

You do know Phobe right?

TornadoB8 · 04-16-2008, 08:10 PM

Schweeet...looking forward to your first track report.

CBR929RE · 04-16-2008, 08:29 PM
