Looking good dude!!

Tom,
looks bad ass bro! whud else you got in store fer yer bike?

cool!

Post some pics of the frame sliders. Thanks.

Before you take any more pics, please ride the p*ssy strips down to a respectable size: 1/2" or less

OK..I got the bike on Thursday and it has been raining non stop until Wednesday, so I only had less than 100 miles..I will "scrub" my tires in this weekend..also I will take pictures of the sliders today and post them as well...
And the are not " p*ssy" strips. I call them "Chicken Strips"

sweet looking bike,dude!!! good job!!

and remember.....friends don't friends ride a yamaha!

Ha ha -- you say po-tay-toe I say p*ussy Just like chicken - -good eatin'

I'll give ya a pass though. Lately, I know what you mean about the rain. The weatherdude still says we have a deficit but I can't figure out how.

here are some closeups of some of the accesories....

How much protection does that slider really offer? I mean if you lowside at say 30mph will your plastics really stay in one piece? How much does it cost?

That slider does stick out enough to keep most the bike off the ground and it will not cause the bike to do somersaults if it were to slide off the pavement, plus I did NOT HAVE TO CUT THE FAIRING!! YEAH!! and the slider kit retails for $119.95 ( like all that have the "street" or no cut design)

Your bike looks awesome, I love the color

That thing is a sleek beast! Pimp on bid dawg.....pimp on!

lookin good.

Here is the finally picture of the RIMSTRIPES I just installed...They are very MOTOGP looking ( since they all seem to have them now!!) These Rimstripes are from TAPEWORKS and are REFLECTIVE like a stop sign

hey sirlimpz, that tapework stuff came out really good. What was involved in putting that on? was it just a simple stick on? and how long will it last....like will it start to peel off after a while?

The rimstripes were easy enough and seem like they should last...my first side has a few imperfections and the last wheel stripe was the best one since I had experience now...it took about 45 minutes

That looks really sweet. I'm actually ordering some of the reflective stripes for my bike tommorow. So can you give me some tips on putting them on? What all do I need to do becides make sure the wheels are super clean? Your 1000RR is looking good man.

just keep tension on the material and it WILL STRETCH

with that last comment, im a little weary about ordering the rim strips for my bike. i work in the car audio industry and see "tape stretching" everyday. the thing is, with electrical tape and such, when you stretch it like to wrap up some wires or loom, over time it will pull back and leave a sticky residue that is just a pain in the ass when you have to go back and fix some other shops work. we see it all the time. we use 3M super 33 which is a better grade tape, but easier to work with. i just wonder if the rimstrips will pull back and look like poopie after a while.

other than that though, you have a really nice looking machine

Rim tape is different then electircal tape or anything like that. It's actually vinyl like you stick on the outside of the car. Think pinstriping. It's perfectly to stretch and get some tension on it.

By the way, to remove the residue you are talking about, pick up some denatured alcohol. It will take any glue or tape residue off. I did car audio for about 10 years. I've built demo vehicles for MMATS, Image Dynamics and a few other companies. Where do you work at?

Looking good Limpy! I like the rims particularly.

Nice bike , you should mod the brake res.

where did you find that brake res ODEN? Im looking for it on line but cant seem to find one.
