So I have had my bike for a little over a year now and I figured it was finally worthy of its own thread. When I originally bought the bike I had no clue I would ever even ride the track, much less have this bike turn into a track bike. I dont want to bore you guys with my bike love story so on to the mods and pics. Im sure I am forgetting a few things, but currently the bike has

Optimal Race Fairings
Penske Triple Clicker Rear Shock
Ohlins Fork Internals
Brembo RCS19 Master Cylinder
HRC Rear Reservoir
Galfer Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Akrapovic Slip On
BMC Race Filter
MOTY 8 Cell Battery
Pair Mod
Dyno Jet PC3 custom tuned
Home Made Ram Air Tubes
Scotts Stabilizer
Pazzo Clutch Lever
Vortex Rearsets
Vortex Clip Ons
Vortex Fairing Stay
Vortex Frame Sliders
JPR Gas Cap
Hotbodies Double Bubble Windscreen
Sprocket Specialist Sprockets
RK WX Ring Chain
Speedo DRD
Gilles TCA Chain Adjusters
Woodcraft Stator Cover
Wrinkle Black Powder Coated Clutch Case
Radiator Guard Home Made
Keyless Ignition

And the pics

Mr. Valentino Rossi watches her while she sleeps.

Akrapovic Slip On off an 07, I liked the way it looked compared to the Akra for the 05.

The Penske

Keyless ignition

The Brembo

Ram air tubes, they arent the prettiest things ever but they work.

Vortex Rearsets, off an 07 as well, I chose these over the ones for my year because I like how they only use one shift rod. You can also see I modified the front sprocket cover to make swapping the front sprocket even faster and easier.

Rear res delete.

Home made radiator guard. You can also see VHT's header paint does not last very well. And no my coolant is not that dirty, the reservoir is stained on the inside from the previous owners neglect.

Gilles Chain Adjusters, I will never own a bike without these.

What good is a track/race bike without different gearing set ups for each track?

MOTY Battery, this thing is amazing.

Beating her the way Mr. Honda would want.

Thanks man I have put a lot of time, money, and patience on finding parts at the right price. A slipper clutch is in the works along with switching over to Bazzaz with traction control and a quick shifter. But right now not too much is going to get done, its track season and all the money I can spare is going to track days and tires.

Thanks guys, @ ThrottleCTRL it took me a while to finally do it but I love it now that its done. I did mine a little differently than the how to shows so that I could hook up another keyed ignition without having to cut or splice anything. When you do yours let me know and I will send you the pics of my set up.
