another shot of the bike . you can see clearly the R&G Frame Sliders and how sleek they look..Almost looks like they belong there..

That makes no sense..... as far as aerodynamics go a smooth transition off the object is more important than the leading edge.... think airplane wing, also as far as impact goes I'd think from an engineering point of veiw the thicker part hitting first (also the part closest to the mounting bolt) would be more stable....

Anyone else?

White eh?
Fadi, you picked the best color

Post some pictures when you get the FE installed.

Sorry to hear about the seat... maybe it's a sign to get the cowl instead?

I would not have purchased a brand new bike if it hadnt been for that color..i bought that bike straight out of the crate and watched them get it ready for me..Only person that touched that bike before me was a factory worker and the tech who test drove it for 7 miles before i drove off with it..The most well oiled well balanced, most powerfull bike in the world

I look forward to seeing more pics. I'm just real picky on what I want for the backend, and I've not seen anything that really trips my trigger yet. I also have the R&G sliders, even did a "How-To" install (http://www.cbrforum.com/fb.asp?m=366482), and yeah, they are backwards. Keep the pics coming though! I've got nothin' better to do than hunt for stuff today, made it to work, and now it's pouring buckets of rain down outside....

It's gonna be a wet ride home.

I just bought this one from 1tail.com
should get it by tuesday. let you know how it looks when i get it on. imo i think it looks cleaner and there is better visibility than right above the exaust.

The only problem is people driving cars who know nothing about bikes don't look for tail lights tucked underneath the exhaust so far. (I know I wouldn't.........and I personally think this kit is unsafe) Not to mention it's illegal and you might run into problems with police officers.

Not to bust your bubble or anything, but I don't think hiding the brake light under the exhaust so far back is a particularly smart idea by the people who made this. But who knows, it might look better in person than in the pictures.
