So most of my parts came in today and I'm siked!

. The Jardine RT-One Slip-On, +2 Vortex Cat5 Rear Spocket, BMC Air Filter, and Sato Adjustable Rearsets. She goes in tomorrow to get everything installed and should be out that afternoon. I'll let you know what I think about the changes.

The Power Commander comes in on Monday and will be installed Tuesday. I too will report back and let you guys know how that worked out with a Slip-On.

Best Time ran at the 1/8th mile for me was 7.76 at 100.4x with a 60foot of 2.1xx.

why not wait and have everything done when the power commander comes in, so they cant jack you around on the labor hrs?

Unfortunately they charge by the individual job everytime. Even though they have the whole bike ripped apart and can install everything all at once they have a minium shop fee for labor per item. So I'll make them work for their money.

oh ok, that kinda shady of them. I figured that since you have the mods already they would just charge you on the hr rate. Atleast thats how they do it around here. Also, I didn't mean to come off as a jerk, if you took it that way. I'm anxious to see pics when your done. I think I probably would have went with your color, if I bought new.

Yep I agree it's pretty shading of them .. or greedy...lol. And you didn't come off as a jerk. If you sensed a shortest in my reply it was probably me thinking about the dealership and their pricing...haha. Thanks for the interest and I'll post the pics. up tonight hopefully!

i was thinking the exact same thing .. rear sets, rear sprocket, power commander , exhaust ..... all easy bolt ons.. the only thing is the pc that needs to be tuned (unless you just put a downloadable map from PC website) it would take probably 2 hours to put all that on so you and a buddy work on it buy him lunch and then go for a ride.. sounds like a good day

Thanks for the advice guys .. it would make a fun project. But unfortunately I'm not mechanically sound with the bike yet and don't want to break my plastics or anything else. Currently I'm at school so my tool selection is very limited aswell. But I appreciate the heads up and thoughts! .. Soon enough I will practice working with the bike when I have more time and tools.

So I got it back today but was only able to drive it for 20 miles on the highway. No turns yet :( . .. But I'm loving the change!!! Its crazy torquey! The bike will stand up under wide open throttle in 1st. Scary. The throttle response is crazy and the exhaust is loooud. Its a whole new bike and will take sometime and practice to get use to ..to be safe. It gets the PC3 Tuesday but its not popping at all right now. Pics and video coming soon.

Yep it sure is loud and throaty. I like how it sounds around 7 - 10k rpms.

Only downfall is I keep thinking I'm attracting alot of unwanted attention by the authorities.

and sadly you are right.. but its not always from the cops. you have to watch out for haters but i think you have already seen that view based on your other thread about your bike being tipped over. we make our bikes look and perform how we want and theives and a holes would love nothing more then to take that away

good choices on mods, you might want to consider a -1 front sprocket as well. its only about 20 bucks more and will make a world of difference. you might want to consider a basic tool set though. i am sure that you already know this but you are going to be raped for the install prices.

Better get a speedo healer to go with all those sprockets. He can use the tools out of his Honda tool kit. I have some tools around the house, but the ones in my Honda kit do a decent job. They aren't great tools but they have all the necessary sizes in one place. I keep some sockets/ratchets (sp) with my kit.

Thanks guys! .. Yep pricing was steep. I definately need a speedohealer now. Just some quick checks on the way home .. read like this. Speedo reading 60mph, actually doing 55mph. Speedo Reading 74mph, actually doing 65mph.

Power Commander 3 came in today with my AGVSport SP4 Full Leathers and AlpineStar Bionic Back Protector ( I like my skin)

Ok guys .. Today is the day!!! .. Pretty pumped

After a week of not being able to ride her because she didn't have a tail light she is finally road worthy again!

Today is the first day I get to ride her with the new mods!

I am also going to the track aswell to she what numbers she'll throw up. Best before was a 7.7x at 100.4x with a 60foot of 2.1x. Wish me luck
