2009 CBR 600rr black/green by jorge5

They did their job very well. It's grate update, much better than stock ones. I should do it earlier. Give me more confident on my body position because I can lock my foot easily. Pegs give good grip, no sliding at all. Maybe pegs should be a little bit longer but they are ok. Don't know if I want to change their position or not, for now I have them on the lower screw, maybe next time I will put them up and back. Will see how it gone look like on the street. Thanks for help with the rear light switch :)

[Rozenheimer]

Bike is looking really nice, just wish I could stumble on a deal for rear sets like that

[jorge5]

Thank you :)
All you need to do is to look for good deal. Here or at the ebay, sometime chrismas comes erlier :)

[Rozenheimer]

Oh yea, I'm all about those steals. But i hope Santa brings his sled early

[jorge5]

It was a while from last post here.
I lowsided my bike on the track back in october. No major damages, mostly the tail and crash pad take a hit, r&g craspad did their job well:




I bought new crash pad


Rear indicators I will also replace because I dont like the look of stock ones and right site is bend couse of lowside.
I found nice barracuda leds.

[jorge5]

As the off season goes I am collecting parts that I will put in to my bike as soon as weather will let me :):
Renthal Road Race Grips (Medium Compound)

Hel Performance Front/Rear Braided Brake Lines (Hel call this color carbon ;)


HRC Rear Brake Reservoir

And small tires pimping

Sorry about the lowside mate, just glad there wasn't much damage.
I see alot of people running those Renthal grips.. What's their purpose? Just more grip? Because they don't look very nice at all IMO.

Love the HEL brake lines!

[jorge5]

Thanks Raj,
Renthal grips are for better feel and grip, I found them look very nice on the bike, look at ry6rr thread ;)
If it will turns out that they are not so good like people said about them I change them for rizomas

[ahmedf]

i got the Renthal Sportbike Dual compound (G176) and they are great! great feel, grip and comfort

but have to agree with Raj that they dont look the best, but this is one of those situations where function>form

[jorge5]

Guys I know that those grips are not best looking but are ok for me if they provide better grip and feel. Need more 3 months to instal :( I hate winter.

Thinking of the rim tape also, got issue with color to go green or white?

[ahmedf]

i went with OEM honda rim stripes...perfect match

[jorge5]

Thinking of doing the same :) Not sure if when I buy track fairing will go with green so I am considering white also. Have some time to think about this and the track fairing, other parts have the priority now, but if I find good price I will buy it sooner.

BTW, nice bike, like the modifications :)

[Rad Rage]

Very nice build so far; love the CF parts and the Rizoma sliders. Keep the mods coming!

[jorge5]

As part of my brake upgrade this has been deliver to me:

.

.
.
and inside:




The fell of lever is awsome, I hope that break fell will be the same.
Don't know if the normal lenght lever is good for me (I always had short one) but will give it a try. Need to figure out what to due with clutch lever, leave my titax or buy brembo one or maybe buy rizoma clutch lever and Rizoma Short Brake Lever Feel for Brembo RCS. One mode implies another .
I want winter to end and put this all stuff to my bike and go for a ride.

If someone have Brembo MC in their plans look on this site http://www.carpimoto.com/EN/Bike_Hon...mbo-19RCS-.htm
Good price and free delivery to many countries.

[ahmedf]

i got mine form capri moto too! you will absolutely LOVE the lever, the feel the thing gives is amazing!

I changed mine to a shorty lever my friend gave me but have kept my green clutch lever on the other side

[ahmedf]

btw did you buy the reservoir kit aswell?

I had to buy a lady bird bracket from the States so i could re-use my old reservoir.

[Ry6rr]

Fantastic purchase.

No I didn't. I read that I can use some rizoma bracket If I find one in good price will go this way if not probably ladybird or brembo kit

[Rad Rage]

So you are against an IT because.....?

[jorge5]

I'm not against. I just don't see a need to have it. IT can may couse some problems with the police, moreover I want to ride track more than in previous year and don't need to have break light at track and stock one can be remove for track duties. I will definitely instal some FE but didn't choose any option at this point. My friend is working on some aluminium maybe I will ask him to do me some custom FE or will go with r&g or other brand. Barracuda are doing nice FE but rather expensive one.

[jorge5]

There is no many information about this filters on .net but i found more on european forums not specialy connected with honda. Most review's were very possitive and put this filter higher than K&N and BMC. They dynoed wheir bikes with this filter as well as with K&N and BMC and power increase was slightly higher. I won't compare DNA with others but I will dyno my bike in the summer.
I bought it because of great price which was 30% off regular price so I didn't hesitate much. Was thinking of buying BMC but price did a job.
Filter seams to be very well build and they put a small container of grease to better seeling, nice addition.

[Ry6rr]

Good purchase. That said you can't really go wrong with either K&N, BMC, Pipercross or DNA Air Filters.

[jorge5]

I choose the price ;) think that it is the best criterium for choose from those 4 brands :)

My first time hearing about this brand but I'm looking forward to your feedback on them.

I'm wondering if you guys have to track with your rear fenders because you have your on??

Sorry about your spill at the track. Keep it shiny side up!

[jorge5]

Finally I put my hand on carbon fiber rear huger.
Ordered from http://www.redracingparts.com. They have free worldwide shipping but it took a month to get to me.

Hugger is made very well, think is almost as good as akrapovic:





I waighted stock one and new carbon fiber



Will try to instal it later this week.

[jorge5]

Two final pieces to my brake upgrade.
Brembo SC track/road pads and rizoma fluid tank bracket as I will stay with oem fluid tank.

[vteller55]

I like the white on the wheels.
