She's come a long way in three weeks... =P

Been busy this past month, sold my green '09 & finally got my white '07 project bike almost stock 10/5 with ASV shortie levers, Akrapovic CF rear hugger & heat shield cover, and the deal maker/key piece you can't seem to buy anymore & I've been searching for... Watsen Designs Flushmounts with running lights! LOL the hardest part to find & I've been searching for, WooHoo!

Homecoming pic:


Humble beginnings, aka the BEFORE pic:


Since then, been busy with mostly aesthetic mods along w/ Akra bits & CF trim. It's been rainy in Seattle/Pacific NW, so bike's been on the stands being upgraded as parts arrive. Started with black reflective shadow wings (black in daylight, reflective silver at night), adds a sharper edge to the graphics & improved visibility at night. Then, custom reflective red rim tape & custom reflective rim logos similar to Sincali's, but using red RRs. Reapplied the OEM CBR Racing midfairing decals (previous owner debadged) to tie in the red highlights. Tripage treatment w/ IT, fender eliminator/plate illuminated bracket, LED relay, powdercoated passenger pegs. Mounted Bridgestone S20s from Motomummy.

Credit to Shadoh for the custom seat design (via Luimoto), added the red RR to to tie-in red highlights. Puig smoked DB. Added the $$s but ohh so sexy looking & sounding Akrapovic exhaust. Carbon fiber front fender, and tank lower panels. Techspec C3 tank grips. Driven Limited Ed. White D3 grips, and black custom bar ends w/ silver RRs.


Then added CBRKP & Armon's amazing S2K clear lens dual projectors, along with my PIAA 6000K D2S bulbs from my last Audi S4.


Pic from today w/ the last CF bits installed.


Props to Brian/MOTY Design for turning my custom gauge LED mod in a day, no more ugly amber display!


New Akra & Tripage IT cuz they're so SEXY!


I think I'm done modding for this month. Got my eye on a Power Commander next (PC III or PCV... hmmm?) but my wallet's pretty empty. ; ) Safe riding & happy modding... Cheers!

Looking good.

[Knxw1edgeRR]

Very nice!

[PattyK]

Ooooh she's purtty lookin!

[MadDawgRR]

Thanks, it's been many long nights after work... but I love the transformation. I've always loved the white & wanted to do a subtle carbon fiber treatment... This forum's both a blessing and a curse (wallet wise... LOL).

The kids have helped me with extra hands & occasional wrenching, actually my oldest daughter helped alot with the detail graphics application, so it's also been fun family time & a sense of accomplishment for all of us.

[redlinernyc]

looking good sir. Love the headlights and graphics. Not a fan of the seats, but to each his own. So you came from an 09...how's the 07 compare (ya know, since the 09+ was detuned)? You got to change your username now :)

I picked up a white 07 recently too...have been doing minor mods for the time being though.

Thx for the feedback, I personally love the seats, transforms the look of the bike, ties together the black shadow wings/silver & even the red highlights, and rear passenger seat looks similar to the solo cowl.

Haven't had a lot of seat time given the rainy weather recently, but I certainly prefer the bodywork/fairings on the '07-08 over the '09-12s... Much easier to get the bodywork off for working on the bike too. Feels pretty much the same from the time I've had on it, haven't noticed much from the 'butt dyno' in terms of power difference though it's known to have a bit more power over the '09-12s. Hard to tell, but I'm sure it will be much more noticeable once I eventually get a PCIII or PCV...

Yeah, & I'm not sure how or even IF I can change my username, oh well...

Cheers!

instant boner ...

[Pennywisdomj]

love the white, my 09 was originally black but went with the same 07-08 plastics you have. Time to get that thing a little dirty!

[Fly_Killer]

Exactly what i had in mind for my gauges. I've seen lots of good color combos but this one really looks clean and easy on the eye. Does he still do it?

Thanks, looks sick in person, got rid of the boring amber everything, & the new blue displays with hyper-white tach, red needle really pops, especially with the white fairings contrast. Yep Brian aka Browning Buck has started doing the gauge mods again, tends to do them in the off season I think. I just got it back this week, literally sent it out last Saturday, had it back by Thurs. Excellent communication/response & incredible turn around. Best quality/looking gauge LEDs I've seen in researching them, plus he can also do the Acumen integrated gear indicator in the gauges, totally OEM looking & sick. Also has the blackout option (inverted illumination), various color options, turn signals, etc. Wish I had the funds available. Look up MOTY Design.... he's a site sponsor too I believe, user Browning Buck.

Thanks again Brian for the awesome customer service & quality, customer for life!

Check out the MOTY Design gauges gallery pictures for ideas. Cheers!

[SilentSun]

Bike is yum! You have done great for just one month worth of modding!

Also, that gauge is nice. I'm thinking of getting one myself but will most likely also include the gear shifter.

[EvilMrB]

So... I'm pretty jelly of your headlights.

[Moeman]

Brilliant job so far let me know if you do not like the name change & if you prefer something else just pm me

Thanks, I drooled over them when they came available... they light up the night for sure, cutoff & illumination is unbelievable, and really love that I don't have to deal with all the single light out comments anymore.

And I'm super-jealous of your wheels, Baller, wish I could afford them or find a deal on some! mmmmm... Marchesinis.... drool!

Thanks Moeman, you rock! New username works great, happy surprise to find the new username this am LOL! BTW, got inspiration from your Miss O'Seven for much of the carbon fiber treatment, that was a sick bike all around, and definitely worthy BOTY. Thanks to all on the forum for the readily available info, install help, instructions etc.

Cheers!

Thanks, the Luimoto custom rear seat looks really clean, has similar lines to the OEM Solo cowl, and keeps the option for the occasional two-up. Has carbon fiber look, with silver & black trim on white which matches the stock silver wings, and the black shadow graphics I added. Passenger seat is the standard available called Tribal Blade, but full custom rider seat.

Closeup of std passenger seat w/ CF trim courtesy of Shadoh:


Patrick Luimoto was awesome to work with, and top quality as you may have heard. He turned the seatcovers in about a week even with the custom design I requested.

http://www.luimoto.com/?s=22

Custom seats really make the bike standout from the other whites out there, plus I used a thicker/denser foam for the passenger since the stock passenger is pitifully thin/uncomfortable. Also added about custom 3/8 foam to the rider seat shaped appropriately to fill the new seatcovers in. My butt is happy now.

It's my pleasure mate and thank you so much for the Miss O'Seven props I am so honored to be an inspiration for others like others have inspired me before hand . I wish Honda would look at our RR builds for new ideas and inspirations I bet if they did they would sell more bikes for sure
