Didn't see this, just thought it was a topic moved but it's different cratch: Well done mate, and a bike for free too! Nice paint scheme, good little bike, if I were going for a 400 it would be similar, gotta love old school Milage is good for the age. My CBR 1991, bought it on 25k miles and the Duke 1996 had 19k miles on when I bought it, they are out there
i had the option of buying a 54 reg R6 but i honestly prefer the cbr that i now have, not because it was free but i really like the old school fact about it. the age does show in some places where the paint has started to crack on the surface. had a change of heart and decided to have the parts that need doing painted, got better things to spend 350 on, like a pipe :drool:
you can spend pointless ammounts on bikes.. if they work, andare comfy then leave em be with SUCH a large ammoutn of possible mods i stick to the addage "function befor form" if the rearsets are uncomfy mod them.. if there useless replace them. if they work leave em well alone. if it rides nice leave it be... id personally sling a pipe and 4 filters at it, dyno it and leave it there. make it pritty if you like, but there prity crackin as is.
So true..... My CBR already had rearsets on when I bought it so I cant really comment on how much difference they made, but if your pegs keep hittin the deck get them changed, more of a problem on 400's apparantly. Definatly whack a slip-on on it, personally I wouldnt bother with a filter but if I was going to it'd definatly be a panel filter rather than pod filters, dont wanna lose the box. Good to see you've spent money on giving it a nice service rather than tarty bits
yep , got a can and joiner pipe on the way , a beowulf one, apparently they are well nice. not too keen on the filters as i cbb to take it to dyno ,rejet etc... the stock rearsets are good as gold but thought the aftermarket ones look tasty, replaced the brake and clutch leavers as they were worn and instantly feel an improvement. replaced the self tappers with some i got from shiney red , replaced a few little pannels that were cracked and had broken lugs, so good day for me
rearsets look simple an shit... whats the point in aftermarket if there just as ajustable as stock? arc:
i hear you minor, it was just a thought anyway, found a nice renegade can at work so might go with it cratch:
