For those that aren't insured year round, when do you usually put plates on your bike? I took a year off from riding and itching to insure mine again. (2003 Honda CBR F4i).

I'm usually back on the road around April ish

Usually buy it during the first week of april

I thought there would be more gsxrs than that

Anyways, have you seen this 2013 fairings on a 2008 600rr - 600RR.net

I would think about it if I dropped my bike

That's actually very, very slick.

I wasn't at first a fan of the 2013+ faring kit for the CBR600RR. I much preferred the 2007 - 2012 variations. I'm actually surprised that the underlying architecture between the two generations is similar enough that they can "share clothing."

I have to say the 2013+ design is growing on me.

I swapped the fairing kit from the 2009 - 2012 Daytona 675 onto a 2006 - 2008 generation. Naturally, it required a pretty exhaustive list of parts, including headlights, etc., but the good news for me was that I was able to retain the tank and and they retained the colour of my bike.

Since I'm not riding my bike might as well take pictures of it

Looking good buddy!

anybody want a motion pro quick turn throttle kit for an 08 gixxer (fits 04-10 i believe)? still in the box, sold the gixxer before i could install it.

retails for $160usd, selling for $100cad

Buddy moved down from Alberta and since it was so nice out, we went riding today. If you guys see a black r3 and a white/blue gsxr1000 with Alberta plates, usually around Richmond / Vancouver, say hi

oh man

i rode charlieH's s1000r on street n track - LOVED IT

good choice

Swapped to stiffer clutch springs yesterday. Fucken snapped one of the bolts in the pressure plate.. Gotta order a new on now.. FML.. Then I stripped an allen bolt for one of my brake rotors.. Yesterday just wasnt my day for working on the grom..

Sweet Bimmer! I've also been riding when conditions were favourable, like this morning. Well above freezing in Kelowna and roads were wet but clear of any of the slippery stuff and so I scooted to work, my goodness that was good for the soul. Drivers around me were giving me lots of room and respect too which was a bonus.

The only thing that remotely worried me was rounding that U-bend heading towards the W.R. Bennett Bridge into Kelowna. I'd really like to get a second set of rims to mount Heidenau four-season tires on for any October to April riding. Dragon-88's buddy has it on his Grom and likes them.

Yikes! Hope the local places have what you need. I stripped an allen bolt removing my CVT cover too last week. I wish they used 5 mm bolts instead.

I hate allen bolts with a passion, i've probably stripped 1 of every 5 times I need to work on one.. Absolutely ridiculous. Got my buddy at Honda Centre looking into the part for me already, but they arent open till tomorrow. Shouldn't be hard to get. Just pissed that I tried to do everything by the book. So I got the torque wrench to torque the bolts and then bam Over torqued.. Learnt my lesson there. Plus it was only 9FTlbs, so I shouldve just done it by hand.

Anyone got any recommendations on where I could cut a motorcycle key?
Thanks

West Coast Mobile Locksmiths or Broadway Locksmith

I've never met any of the RS riders, anyone down for a coffee meet at market crossing tomorrow (weather permitting) after lunch? Would be cool to meet some of you guys.

I'm just up the hill from there, if it's not bad out, I might stop by...

Are there any close to richmond you can also suggest?

Well if there's not enough interests then maybe when the weather gets warmer

Im not feeling to well, I will come out if its some time next week tho

I bet key west on river road could easily do one (river road north end, pretty much at 5 road intersection )

Perfect I'l go have a look.
Thanks
