CRG Lever & More

What’s up guys? Here is a picture of my most current modification to the Gsxr600, a pair of CRG gold adjustable levers:

These are the regular length ones, NOT the shorties.

As you can see in the photo, I had a bit of a boo-boo, and scuffed the clutch side one up.

It was the most stupid mistake too. I was making a slow u-turn within a residential street, and the bike started to tip leftward. The bike wasn’t even on! I was just pushing it!

The slow motion drop was inevitable and highly embarrassing. Usually, I would develop superhuman strength in these times of need, but unfortunately, not this time.

In order to match the color of the frame, i chose a pair of rearsets that were in sliver. Here is a close up of the pair of Sato Racing rearsets in silver that I also installed this week:

Yes, yes, I see the scuff on this side as well. Breaks my heart. All these new parts, and they are damaged. Hey, we all gotta learn somehow. I just happen to learn the hard way: by breaking stuff.

Alright guys, stay tuned for more updates. Till next time, ride safely!

My New Bike!

I could not resist! A brand new 2004 Honda Cbr1000rr with minor crate damage, for $7,000.00!!! Damn, I’m a good negotiator! My back is chapped from me patting myself in the back! LOL!

Apparently, while unloading the bike, some unfortunate employee at the dealership dropped the bike on the left side.

Since it was only minor cosmetic damage on the fairings, it was a no brainer.

However, after I had signed all the paperwork, one of the finance people pulled me aside and told me the real story.

A customer had purchased the bike and on his way home, revved too hard and dropped it outside the dealership. He figured it was too much bike for him and sold it back to the dealership. The dealership basically just tore up the paperwork and had him pay cash for his damages. That is how they managed to tell me that I was the first owner.

Shady? Kinda, but who cares when I’m getting it for 7k?
