    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 last time:

    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!

      Here is another piece that cost me quite a pretty penny. It is an engine cover made by Yoshimura out of magnesium. And we all know how much magnesium stuff costs!

      Stay tuned!

        Hey guys! Check out this cool but EXPENSIVE little modification! It’s a titanium Sato Racing exhaust hanger.

        Since the Yoshimura exhaust hung a bit higher than the passenger pegs, we had to replace it with the supplied plate that came with the full system. This piece will definitely make it look better!

        Stay tuned for more updates!

          After the custom map was uploaded into the power commander by Don of Scuderia, we notice a Max Power increase from 99.7 to 102.7, and a Torque increase from 43.2 to 45.1 lbs.

          The only modifications to the bike were a full Yoshimura SS exhaust, and a BMC air filter.
