Title: It DOES exist! Bike pics finally. Post by: corey on July 21, 2010, 11:17:34 AM I figured the fork swap didn't happen without pics...
Finally got a chance to snap some shots while riding to/from Skyline Drive. The Bike @ Seneca Rocks on the way home (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4815913079_f73031e387_b.jpg) New Cockpit (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4815912709_dcdda7ba82_b.jpg) Fancy Headlight Brackets (had to squeeze the 50mm version onto my 51mm fork section... nerve wracking, but it worked fine) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4139/4816537058_345b4f9a74_b.jpg) 999 Forks w/ Ohlins UES Kit (Courtesy of Theo... and Chase Visa...) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4815912389_f47aa3ee90_b.jpg) Skyline was awesome... my first long ride. 750 miles... not that far, but seemed damn far with those clipons and stock seat.

LMK when you want to run the skyline or the gap (or both). Hell, maybe we should try and plan a meet up at Fontana in the fall ? Title: Re: It DOES exist! Bike pics finally. Post by: booger on July 21, 2010, 02:03:49 PM nice tidy bike - so how's it ride? and what trick did you use to keep the powdercoat off the clamping faces on the triples?

Title: Re: It DOES exist! Bike pics finally. Post by: El Matador on July 21, 2010, 03:19:33 PM That's funny, Even though I can clearly read your sig line with the Black/tang on it, I always thought you were more of a dark kinda guy.
Your bike looks great BTW Title: Re: It DOES exist! Bike pics finally. Post by: corey on July 21, 2010, 03:56:35 PM Awesome dude, looks great! LMK when you want to run the skyline or the gap (or both). Hell, maybe we should try and plan a meet up at Fontana in the fall ? Hell's yea dude. I've got a beach vacation coming in August, but I would love to try and cram in another long ride. I'll keep you posted! nice tidy bike - so how's it ride? and what trick did you use to keep the powdercoat off the clamping faces on the triples? It rides like a whole new bike. I thought it would make the rear shock's weaknesses even more obvious, but with a little preload and rebound adjustment, the rear of the bike is pretty stable now too. I was nearly able to keep up with my friends GSXR 750 in the twisties on 33 in WV, but i think his riding skill puts him a level above me as well. I got those chicken strips down to about 1/4 inch though! They have completely rid my bike of the terrible brake/decel dive that it had previously as well. Money well spent IMO. As far as the PC on the top triple, well.. i think it was stock black, as it came from Theo's S4R black already, with the right spots uncoated ;D. BRAKES ARE NEXT! Looks great Corey! [clap] Thanks! TANG POWER!... That's funny, Even though I can clearly read your sig line with the Black/tang on it, I always thought you were more of a dark kinda guy. I probably AM more of a dark kinda guy... Just worked out that I saw this bike for sale at the dealer used w/ a decent price... i went up, they still had it... i wanted an S2R800... my MOM was there to be quickly suckered in to cosigning (i had just switched jobs, so they wouldn't approve me...) so i ended up with orange. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it grew on me damn quick. I'm liking it even better w/out the tail cowl now though... i might leave that off. Eventually an aluminum tank is the plan, but I will incorporate the tang one way or another... for nostalgia's sake.Your bike looks great BTW Swingarm is too silver for my tastes though... it never ends.
