New ride - 08 CBR600RR

[RoNi_SiZe]

Ey fellas,

Haven't been posting here since my DC5R blew up two years ago. Picked up a new toy for myself about a month ago, but I've been overseas/Gold Coast for a month so haven't had a chance to ride it till now.

Came with a CF Yoshi Exhaust, but since then I've put some ricer bits on it, tinted windscreen, red rim tape, HIDs, and the ResArt fender eliminator, Honda Racing Rear Seat Cowl , CF heat shield & heel gaurds.

Next mods: G-Craft Racing Style Rear Brake Oil Reservoir, Pazzo Levers.

Checks it:

[Type R Positive]

Definately slick looking bike right there!
Should be a real hoot around town!

[BulletBoy]

sweet as dude - awsome pipe 2

the bike makes me look like a better ride than I actually am !

[e240]

Nice looking Exhaust

[RoNi_SiZe]

Thanks fellas.

That's so true dude! Makes us look like full MotoGP racers! Just hope chicken strips don't develop now that I've taken possession of the bike. The previous owner woulda loved to lean. No chicken strips @ all.

[BulletBoy]

ahh the dreaded chicken strips lol..

but in all honesty, I dont push my limits in order to get rid of every last bit of unworn tire because the road surfaces are pretty poor and all it takes is a bit of sand/gravel with some heavy lean and down she goes.

which fender eliminator yu gona go with bro ?

[hisoka]

nice bike man. thinking about getting exact same one and ditching honda cars lol~

good exhaust aswell. they sound really nice, take muffler off for GP action lol.
good choice and safe riding mate~

[nvmee]

How much did you pay for it including on roads?

[RoNi_SiZe]

which fender eliminator yu gona go with bro ?

That's a good question, one that I was hoping to pass on to you guys. I'm not too sure! All the ebay ones seem expensive and/or crap.


How much did you pay for it including on roads?

Bought it off a bloke in Torquay for $11,500 incl exhaust. Only had 1,300kms! Best thing about it was, the rego was expired on the day I picked up the bike, and rego in Torquay is $350 or so, whereas in Melbourne it's $550 because it's urban. So I paid the rego, saved $200 on that instantly, and transfered the title later that day @ Vicroads. Had to pay stamp duty, forgot how much it was now, $200 something I think.

[.::F[L]Y::.]

sweet bike! congrats on the purchase.

[BulletBoy]

I ended goin with one from a local guy
goes under the name of 'ResArt'
he was havin a sale at the time i picked it up for 35+7 postage. TBH thats all its worth because its really basic.

heres his advertising pic..

ill try and get some pics of my bike so you can have a better look

[RoNi_SiZe]

I like that eliminator kit! Clean. Wassit a simple bolt on install? Or did u have to cut something?

How do I get in touch with this guy, Bullet?

[BulletBoy]

no cutting at all required..

just gotta take out that whole rear fender mudflap, unhook the brake and signal harness, than re-assemble the lights/signals on the new kit.

it also gives you a chance to take out the side reflector bracket things if yu goin for a cleaner look haha.

Took me 30 mins and Im not a mechanically minded person

http://www.auzbay.com.au/HONDA-CBR-600-2008--FENDER-ELIMINATOR-TAIL-TIDY-RESART-,name,100329,auction_id,auction_details

its like 34 bucks there + postage.

If you wanna go directly through his site, which is
www.resart.com.au
its $80 + postage

[CONAN]

fender eliminator pls!!

Sweet bike thats the bike I wanted, til I found out the 09s have ABS haha

[EK4R]

when did u take this?

best bike for Learners isnt that right roni. :)

[preludacris]

^^nims place

wat a hard kant on L's rockin a 600cc.

time for cs white baby

[RoNi_SiZe]

best bike for Learners isnt that right roni.

Freaking better than that R6 you wanted, Geo! That's a freaking track bike a re.

BTW, thanks for installin' my HIDs and rim stripes while I was away! Was pleasantly surprised. Respect +3

Yeh Black's growing on me dude. But it'll probably ungrow in 6 months or so, then I'll get it painted CS white!

Gonna paint it according to this theme, all silver bits will be painted CS white, everything else will be left untouched:

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll145/rkwon3/bikethemesilver.jpg

EDIT: ... hey just lookin' @ this pic, Silver looks pretty sick ey?

[EK4R]

thats cool. didnt take too long to install , mosquito was a bitch

if you want it in that scheme you would have to paint your middle fairing black too...08 came in silver, lidas is black? unless he swap it out.

[BulletBoy]

hey bro
did u end of getting that eliminator ?
anyways heres a pic of my bike from side on

[EK4R]

[BulletBoy]

haha never thought of that.. mehh it smells of my sweat already lol.. im gona take out all the padding and clean it this weekend !

[RoNi_SiZe]

damn, that CBR hot re!

[SLOWEGG]

Nice bike man! Anyone know when honda is bringing out the new model? Because the new 1000RR shape is one of the best looking bikes in my books!

[BulletBoy]

cheers bro
i know the 09 600RR is out in the states but it seems like Australian dealers havent got it yet. I went to teammoto on moss street in slacks creek just the other day and seems like its coming in soon coz their getting rid of the 08's at a pretty decent price. Id say no more than another month !

[S2kane]

New 09 CBR600's are out now.. slightly different body styling and some engine changes.. giving it even more torque ( its got the most torque than any 600)
Avail in black and red, black and silver
ABS versions will be a few weeks later.

[EK4R]

engine changes and body styling ??

i didnt know they upgraded the 08 already...

[S2kane]

Body styling is very minimal.. you can hardly tell.
And some changes to the top end of the the engine and exhaust.

[S2kane]

PS.. We have just got the 09 Repsol blade in our office it looks awesome!!.. It's going to be the press bike though so i cant borrow it.. yet :p

[RoNi_SiZe]

yeh Body doesn't need a change quite yet. It's still still beast!

[EK4R]

wtf u can go ozhonda while ur at work but email dont work...i figured out how to communicate with you now...ozhonda pm while ur at work lol

[RoNi_SiZe]

MACHINES!

Just some shots I took of my bike & my friend's.

Jealous Geo? Hahahaha Bet u wanna get one of these!

Apologies for my questionable photography skills...

[EK4R]

oh you bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im going to steal that bike

ps. damn that fender eliminator kit is gangsta. spd cameras wont even pick it up


oh and nice garage man. i thought it was just all opened up. you actually have a cage. that red sprinkler system pipe would be perfect backdrop for a photoshoot on your frnds r6

[RoNi_SiZe]

Yeh it's pretty nice ey? Looks so flashy & stuff next to my bike. Mine is stealth. Which isn't really good for a bike hey? =S

Yeh not sure abt that eliminator kit, I reckon it's a reason to get pulled over for. TGEE did, it was the only time he was pulled over, and then a few days later then knocked on his door to check if he's fixed it yet! True story. Ask him abt it.

woah serious lol...better tell your friend to watch out then. cos i see them alot in the states. should be ok if he doesnt hoon it. it has integrated indicators on the plates or where? i cant see it.

i think its just the angle. maybe adjust it abit so the cops can see from behind

[RoNi_SiZe]

Yeh indicators are down there. They're just like a bunch of 5 or 6 LEDs on each side of the plate.

[dumped echo]

Yeah geroge that fender eliminator kit is cool...but illegal.

Tony got pulled over like a month after he installed it.
Cops even came to his house a while later to make sure he had it all legal again...

[RoNi_SiZe]

Ey, Thanks Bullet.

After doin' some research into eliminators, decided the Resart one was the best given the price.

It has been ordered!

Will post pics up after I've installed it!

Peace!

~ RoNi '09

P.S.) Does anyone know if there's a rear seat cowl replacement? Like a plastic one or something? Don't want a rear seat, just want some mean cover...

[lo0se3r]

yeh there is

its a replacement piece of plastic and it has a little black rubber grip thingy right behind your lower back, u use it for pushing the bike

[BulletBoy]

no probs man.. yea you can get a solo seat cowl.. pretty expensive from your local dealer tho, best bet is to probably look for one on ebay US or 2nd hand good condition one. heres a link to an ebay one, altho colour is not rite.. its still pretty expensive for such a small piece of plastic ahah damn honda !

[RoNi_SiZe]

$150 US for that? That's before shipping too!

It's sucha rip... but I kinda want it.

Lolz!

[BulletBoy]

lol same here.. i guess ill just wait and hope that someone who has a red bike sells me 1 2nd hand ahha..
one of my mates with his gsx-r 1000 forgot to lock his in properly, heard a clatter and seen his cowl about 50 metres down the road lol. if im not mistaken, the suzukis come with the cowl as standard tho :(

[EK4R]

u can always find cheap ones on ebay sometimes. seen a few for the r6 already :P

u dont really need it. ur bike is already streamlined :P

[RoNi_SiZe]

Yeh, but the one on that R6 is so hot. I want one! The lil' bits count, Geo.

Ouch wouldn't wanna drop it. Probably cost like $250 landed.

[EK4R]

just patience i guess. then

btw random goss.

SF4 is out and its fkin awesom!!!! get it and play me online nigz oh and pm your address again in syd. for feight

[RoNi_SiZe]

Apologies for the extremely crappy quality

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll145/rkwon3/18-02-09_2040.jpg

[BulletBoy]

sweet man.. looks alot better :)
btw, where'd you get your exhaust from ? and price ? pm me if you want
thanks man

[RoNi_SiZe]

Came w/ the bike. So no idea dude, sorry.

The guy was saying he got it for $800-900 landed. But that was back when our x rate was crazy.

[trinnyd]

Nice bike! Where'd you get your tinted screen from and would you recommend it?

[splash1]

looks awesome

[RoNi_SiZe]

Got it on ebay for 1cent... + 37.99 shipping from a seller in hong kong.

It's OK, the fit is close to perfect, it's transparent, and well... yeh looks good.

Only complaint is, the cut along the top of the windscreen is a bit rough.

My mate also has a black 08 CBR600RR. His windscreen only cost like $10 more than mine but the cut is perfect along the top. He also got it from a seller on eBay, Hong Kong seller.

They're unbranded, but if u look on ebay (Hong Kong sellers), aim for one that's about $40-50 landed. Should be a good one.

[trinnyd]

Thanks mate. I was suss about the quality and fit of them. It great to hear a couple of people that have bought some.

[RoNi_SiZe]

Dayum peepz, just went for the best ride. Old Pacific Highway (NSW), full of bikies on this picturesque day!

Do I dare suggest a OzHonda motorbike cruise??

I love that road, its great but last weekend i went on an even better ride, up putty road to singleton. The speed limit is 100 pretty much all the way and it has these long sweeping turns which is really different to the tighter turns of the old road. After singleton we headed towards newcastle then down the F3 until peats ridge then onto the old road...the whole trip was 450k's and about 8 hours.

i just fitted a double bubble tinted screen on my bike that i bought from ebay for $10 plus $26 for shipping.

At first glance the screen is great, colour is consistant, strength is ok, but as you expect from a cheap ebay (chinese/HK) aftermarket part the finish is not quite there but is great for the price. The issues with the finish is that along the top ridge there is a little bump where the line changes a bit an then on the bottom the v is not even when fitted.

[RoNi_SiZe]

Ah well. Good for the price & ppl won't stare @ it up close, Trinndy!

We were actually thinking about goin' Putty Road too, but we weren't too sure where it was & we had been riding a while by that time.

go to clark rubber and get some thin rubber strips that covers the edge to place over the top and side edge to finish off the look.

[trinnyd]

thanks, that's a good idea

[RoNi_SiZe]

Hey all, just a few updates & pics!

Recent ricer parts:
Honda Racing Rear Seat Cowl
CF heat Shield
CF Heel gaurds
"RR H Racing" tank protector

Cleaning up:
Removed "CBR" and "600RR" stickers from RHS of the bike.
Removed pillon footpegs (no photos of this yet).

Upcoming mods:
G-Craft Rear Brake racing style oil reservoir.
http://www.spiralspinner.jp/G-craft/G-Craftphoto/Brake/RearReservoirTank/Top.jpg

P.S.) Black sucks. Everytime anything glides over the rear seat cowl, no matter how lightly, it scratches a lil' bit...
