As some of my “fans” out there may know, my baby is mostly stock — at least, as far as performance goes. I like to trust that Honda knew what they were doing, when they put her together. However, if you are talking bolt-on outer shell pieces? I’m there. At least for now, I go faster than I need to as the bike is.

So, total mods include: Hotbodies Racing front and rear turn signals, Eurobikes rear tire hugger, Puig windscreen, rear spools, and a fender eliminator.

Like I said folks, stock. LOL

Pros and Cons for the Front and Rear Signals.

Pros

- Looks nice, highly visible Amber LED’s, which look nice against the yellow! Sleek front blinkers sit no further than 1/2 inch off your fairing! Those big clunky stock blinkers scrub when you’re trying to park in tight spots or sliding through inner city dead-lock.

Cons

- Okay, the stock blinkers contain three wires.. running light, which is always good right? The other two were a negative and an interrupt for the blinker, all of which were clearly labeled by Honda. So Hotbodies sends me the aftermarket set which only have two wires: red and black.
The dilemma: “Ditch the running lights for the style?” Of course!

I had some initial trouble with the installation, but then a little soldering fixed everything. If you
try to install the lights without relays, they will blink incredibly fast; to the point where it just looks like it’s stuck in the on position. This will also blow your fuses. It sucks, trust me…

Next would be the tire hugger

- This sells from Eurobikes, unpainted for around 233 $ U.S. I found a color matched one on Ebay for 35 $ U.S., which in my book is a bleeping steal!

Pros

- Let me first say that I loved the look, but that’s about it.

Cons

- The hugger does only one other thing right, it keeps the blacktop off of the undertail exhaust. Hoorayyy… But it catches so much wind that it vibrates its own screws loose. It then begins to scrub off the edge of your tire. The problem is the thickness of the piece (which is fiberglass) is much less than where the stock piece attaches. Even if you take off and swap the screw brackets, it still has problems.

So it’s back to the stockie, which I like anyway. I’ll keep my eyes open.

So here at the shores of Jersey, riding season’s in full force. It’s been around 67 degrees out, so I unpacked the Honda 600rr, and dusted off my riding gear.

I’m just going to give you a guys a quick overview of what was done in 2007, and a quick 2008 preview of what I want to work on next this season.

Sorry for the stuttering guys. It’s my first official video posted. Plus I think there was one of those “I just rode for 6 hours” underpants adjustments. They just happen on their own apparently… hahaha!
