Now that everything is back to normal here on the east coast, we had a little warm weather to enjoy this weekend. Went out with a couple friends to shoot and talk cars!
Hey can you take closer pics of the subframe area. I noticed you have a 2003. I'm doing the same thing with my 2003 and wanted to see how the 2005 fairing fit the back since that's the big issue. Thanks

Very nice, i just got some Q2's not too long ago. How do you like them??
finally.......
something to report
did a race weekend, followed up w/a trackday to shake down the bikes. honda never saw any tracktime over the weekend due to lousy inconsistent drizzle the n.w. is so famous for. so i had to spoil it as much as feasible w/motocorsa monday running mostly advanced sessions. 'a' group, which is typically a number of riders riding beyond my comfort zone for 'track day' pace were no problem this time. apparently the tyres are capable of leading that group; as i had two separate riders, one being a professional/as well as lead instructor w/various race schools @ one time, & the person running control (letting bikes on & off course) told me i lead the field for several laps ie more than 4 laps. behind me was an rsv4 well tuned but stock motor/zx10s built/gix1ks built a few/r6s mostly built some stock engine etc etc all 'very' experienced riders, mostly racers or former racers that might as well be professional. on these tyres w/very controlled lean angle if i'm capable of carrying enough pace to keep this level of rider behind me on significantly less rwhp must be pretty decent. i still need to get them dialed in though as when carrying more lean angle felt like i was getting chatter so backed off. one of the tyre guys says it's either air pressure or suspension so possibly tweaking w/the shock & forks might correct the chatter but i think it's too much air. so @ this point no actual race pace testing, but the pace i was riding @ maybe 80=85% race pace, they were more than adequate & likely worth testing for other member. i did 150 track miles & was hitting speeds over 170 indicated lap after lap
still negotiating tyre supplier this season though, so not sure i'll be running dunlops or trying to do what i was planning.
this coming weekend will determine which brand i end up racing on. racing @ the ridge & will be my 1st time @ that track. weather looks ideal & bikes are running strong i might end up running the 6rr just to get familiar w/the bike @ higher pace than trackday & if i haven't burned up the tyres friday afternoon will race on them @ least once

Holy white overload. What paint is that? Lexus white? The pearl looks good.
Here's a better look of it, my paint guy mixed it when we went to go get it, told him what I wanted, pulled this out, and we threw in some gold flake as well.
I'm probably going to use epoxy paint this summer and paint it appliance white.
nice ride. I like how you pulled off the freeway to take the pic too. and the fact there are no other cars in sight, must be an isolated stretch of road.
