Here's another one from this weekend:

Just how tall are you you make that RR3 look like a mini-moto

No worries.

I spend more time at red line than not when at the track. Those were from Sears Point (Infineon to the corporate minded). Believe it or not, I didn't really need to get out of 3rd gear and just rode the rev limiter a bit in a few of the straights. For anyone keeping track, I got a best time of 1'56" for my first attempt at that track.

Oh yeah, I'm one tooth down in the front and went to a 525 chain (I think). The power of the 954 is really peaky when you get over 10k on the tach so good throttle control is key. Here is another shot where I kind of got it right- on a different session at the end of the session I gassed it a bit too hard and with my toe and knee down took the steering to opposite lock spining the rear. I wished they got a pic of me then!

6'7" thus why I only ride this thing on the track now. I actually don't have a car and usually ride the pig on a daily basis.

How did you know you needed the valves adjusted. I just bought a 02 954 and i hear the valves but the dealer says thats that way all sport bikes sound. I hear like a slight whine noise.

Please advise.

Here are a few pics of my 02 954 blade fellas. It has a few extras:



Hindle High mount can
Sliders
Power Com III
Stott's Steering Dampner
Flush Mount indicators
Fender eliminator

Thats about it.

I dont like my rims. I have been think ing about powdercoating them ALL RED!!

Do you think that would add a little flavor?

Please Advise. You guys give really good advice on these forums and I really enjoy reading them.

Thx in advance!!!

I like that License plate mount, tucked underneath. Where do i get one and how much does it cost? I think mine is way too visible for right light cameras and to 5.0. lol

Here is mine from today! Almost ready for the season!

I made it, But it was worth all the time when I sit on the seat you can only see the year sticker so no chance of a cameras or even the planes getting your plate # but if you get pulled over just stand off the bike and you can see everything I have not had a cop ask me about the plate just about the exhaust and no blinkers untill I show them in the tail light. It takes a look of work but IM me and I will Tell you how to do it.

It's all feel so it's hard to say what you would like but I went from a set of Pilot powers to dunlop qualifiers but I went with a 190/55 on the rear and I will never go back to the Pilot Powers, I just put 100 and some miles on the dunlops yesterday and I am much faster and the bike is so solid, it trun in great and is much easyer to flip side to side is a hard S turn, coming out of the corners I don't slide anymore and can get on the gas hard much better for the way I ride.

A lot of people are faster with the Pilots and I am just telling you what I know. I would go with the dunlops if I get 2500 to 3000 miles out of set of tires I am all good with that I will buy more I ride hard on the street and what traction over distance in my tires.

[bettingpython]

to each their own. And I consider myself lucky getting 3k out of a pilot power as well.

Thats what I was trying not to do I know it is all riding style and feel if you like them run them.

Nop you are the 1st one I like it that way it means I does not look to out of place.

[longtallsally]

My bike's new look

[rrblade]

here's my old bike.i sure do miss it.the 954 is definately an underdog but man i beat alot of busa's!

[Twincam]

I see you like to modify your bikes... under-seat exhaust looks nice (where have you located your license plate?)

Also, what have you done to the drivers seat?

looks the business wit that exhaust. but it looks like he stuffed a pillow in his seat.

[simple guy]

Ya I recovered the seat and replaced the hard a$$ foam with 4" HR-70 couch foam. It is not the greatest but it is the most comfortable seat one would want. I can ride for hours and not get the monkey butt.

I hear you, the first few rides of the season would have me walking like john holmes had his way with me
