Buying it from the original owner who crashed it at Big Willow in turn 2 (Michelin Power Race tires were on it, pretty much worn out, you know the story on those). All the body work is trashed but I am going to leave it nekkid anyhow. Gave the guy a deposit and will be picking it up Wednesday night! Bone stock except for Sato rearsets. It has also already had the TPS recall work done on it that the 04 models are known for having issues with. Last Edited By: xtremwlr 11/13/2009 17:34. Edited 1 time.

Been working on it already, straightened the forks in the triples, hiding wires and stuff, FZ1 frame sliders installed, converted to reverse shift and a few other things. Figuring out what I need to fix or change. Fun stuff.

Wait a minute, you're not factory rider. You actually have a good idea of what you are doing! Heh heh Bootie, plenty of bootie!

Definitely a different beast from any of the 600s I have been riding. Going to take a little while to get used to the throttle, it's very touchy. Feels good tho and there are no issues with riding it nekkid. Will be much better once I get the dirt bars installed and put some real headlights on it. Got the upper tail piece today so I was able to finish putting that all together. Also got some bar-end mirrors to make it legal. They aren't too bad but I will probably go with something different when I put the dirt bars on.
