New to the site, but not to the scene. This is my 2nd sportbike (previously owned an 1999 Yamaha R6) and been dreaming/wishing to get the 2007 Honda CBR600RR in Pearl White since it's debut! I'm glad to say that 2012 is my best year thus far! Got out of debt and was able to make the wish HAPPEN! I already have some "goodies" in mind of purchasing for my ride..so stay tuned! Here is how she stood when I picked her up @ January 29th, 2012....
The previous owner had the following items included..
~ Vortex white frame sliders (interchangeable)
~ CRG bar-end mirrors x2
~ Fender eliminator kit w/signal lights
~ Rear Honda Racing solo seat cowl (color matching)
~ Hot Bodies flush mount front turn signals (smoke)
~ Hot Bodies double bubble smoke windscreen
~ Color matched mirror block-off plates
I wanted to upgrade comfort for the rides on her.. so I opted for a Saddleman Carbon Fiber Track style Gel channel seat w/rear billion & Kuryakyn rubber-padded grips (its got wider grip, thus causing less hand fatigue/cramps)
I wanted to enhance my visibility towards traffic for my night rides, so I ordered the reflective-black "Wing's shadow kit" from Tape Works & GIPro gear indicator (white) from BallZmotorsports
* February 24th, 2012 *
Was done installing the goods in the AM.. so I snapped some pics the next day..
picked up some "ebay" china mirrors.. they actually not bad! & Cheap$!!
Progrip clear tank protector (didn't want to hide the beautiful pearl white!)
Nice! Congrats man. You're not too far from me. Funny, A LOT of the 600rr riders that I've met in the 626 area are oblivious of the existence of the knowledge and quality of people on this forum. Welcome.

Thats what I want to know? And where did you get it and how much did it run you?
The seat doesn't work too well for my skinny ass.. I think it works & fits best with larger rears! As for the Gel channel... YES! IT WORKS! lol.. I felt the cool air run through my crack.. that's good if any of you sweat down there during hot rides.
Bought it from Dennis Kirk.. ran me $219.66 w/free shipping.. but it looks like it's on sale now.. doh!
I might sell mine (haven't even touched the rear) for $200.. ran it since February.. FYI.. I ordered a custom seat from Luimoto.. spoke w/them & selected me to "test" an item out.. stay tuned
very nice, i like that accent sticker kit. how do you like those grips?
The Kuryakyn rubber-padded grips works awesome! VERY comfortable.. feels cushion-y.. plus it's got a wider girth, so gripping it wouldn't cause too much fatigue as the normal sized girth grips.. Since I installed them, I can ride much longer w/o the infamous "hand cramps". The goal for me was all about comfort!

yea comfort is #1 with me too, i went with the Renthal Soft Grips but those look like you'll be holding on to a miniature pillow lol

Performed the Install over the weekend of the items that required me to take the fairings off... might as well do it ALL in one time!
I started off @ Friday night after work to take her apart and prep the lighting install..
* 3/17/2012 *
Woke up, ate and went at the lighting project..(I didn't take any pics of the process since there are an abundant of threads @ here!)
What's being installed today?
Gear Indicator, XSBoost fan controller, HID, CCFL Halos, & side emitting strips, & a 5 prong relay to control the lighting...
CCFL Halos in place & glued! & Audi style leds
Also wanted to show how I did the HID wire outlet more..
draw lines in middle to find the cross point & drill "1 hole
Use a razor blade to smooth-trim out the excess..
Pull the wires in like so..
VOILA!
I Finished up everything by Monday morning @4am! (I had one wire hooked up wrong & took like forever to trace back) I will take pics of it when all fairings are back on!
CF Jardine RT-1 Dual outlet slip-on .. thanks to Bio-hazards for the deal!
Because she is still apart since the weekend, I decided to rattle can the rear sub-frame area black.. So I prepped her for paint tonight! Instead of sanding, I'm using the scuff method to rough up the surface.. will paint tomorrow after work if weather permits!
Why the fan control switch? Haven't seen that before or heard of a need for one. Curious...
The fan control switch WILL come in handy during So Cal traffic rush hours & traffic jams (when you CANNOT lane split) when your bike starts to rise in temp.. simply switch on the fan switch and ride no worries of over-heating.. no "real" need of one... just helps to have it!
Just like that quote from AVP.. "I'd rather have it & not need it.. than need it & not have it!" lol... Plus you can ride with it off and let the stock settings kick it in..

I think anything compared to the stock seat is better! The stock one is like rock hard! After riding w/the saddleman seat.. it felt much more comfortable, plus it has that "air" gel channel that really works! No more sweaty ass cracks! BUT.. this seat is ONLY comfortable for those of you w/wide asses! Since I'm a really skinny ass (5'9 @ 132 lbs).. NOT too comfy!
If you wanna buy mine, I'll sell it for $200 shipped! I never used the rear at all. The seat has seen about 50 miles or less of ride time.. lemme know!
Had her ALL masked & prepped! Ready for the DIY rattle canned paint job!
* 3/22/2012 *
After allowing the paint to dry for over night (forgot to snap a pic) I starting to put her back together! Since I was still in the "modding mood", I thought to better fit the (+) boot for the battery terminal.. trimmed for the tender plug..
Nice and flushed!
Assembly & "testing" coming along..
I wired the HID's & CCFL Halo's to a 5 prong relay (as dual lights) to the stock light switch! As for the Audi style leds... I wired them to the center light (which is the D.R.L.)
sell it to me! I've yet to find a white one for sale. DAMN IT.
HELL NO!!
I've been wanting this bike! In this year! In this color! Since its debut @ end of 2006 @ the Motorcycle Show!! Researched & compared vs the '08 , '09 , '10 , '11 models.. and came to conclusion that 2007 was THE best year of production for the 600rr's! Finally have a good job now to actually support this "sickness" & put dreams into reality & onto this bike.. and you want to buy it off me?? lol
just messing.. I understand.. where you from? Cuz I'm finding a couple of whites ones here in So Cal for sale.. BUT the cheapest would be @ the $6K range during this season...

Lol! I'm from Minnesota. I've only seen two 2007 white ones here. Lol. But yeah totally understand that tracking one down is hard and a clean one! But I'll keep scouting. If not then I guess I'll still have my cars lol
